Beschreibung

In 1996, a group of teenagers who called themselves vampires became the center of a murder case that shocked the country. At the center of it all was 16-year-old Rod Ferrell, who claimed he was a 500-year-old vampire named Vesago and the leader of a small group known as the “Vampire Clan.” What started as teenage role-playing and goth subculture eventually turned into something far darker. In this episode, we look at the background of Rod Ferrell, the formation of the so-called Vampire Clan, and the murders of Richard Wendorf and Naoma Queen in Eustis, Florida. We also talk about the investigation, the arrests, the trials, and where everyone involved is today — nearly thirty years later. When you strip away the gothic imagery and the sensational headlines, what’s left is a case about violence, influence, and a group of teenagers whose fantasy blurred into something deadly.
