The Devil and The Sibling Satanists

The Devil and the Sibling Satanists | The Ritual Rewind In 1998, the tail end of the Satanic Panic came alive in the suburbs of Wollongong, Australia, when a series of brutal murders shocked an entire community. The victims were mutilated, occult symbols were left behind, and investigators were forced to confront a horrifying question: was this a ritual killing — or something even darker? On June 13, 1998, 59-year-old shopkeeper David O’Hearn was discovered brutally murdered inside his home. His killer left behind a chilling message written in blood — the word “Satan,” an inverted cross, and a pentagram. Just weeks later, former Wollongong mayor and politician Frank Arkell was murdered in a similarly violent attack. The investigation would eventually lead police to siblings Mark and Belinda Van Krevel, two individuals whose lives were shaped by violence, obsession with death, and a fascination with Satanism and serial killers. Alongside childhood friend Keith Schreiber, the siblings would become connected to one of Australia’s most disturbing crime stories. In this episode of The Ritual Rewind, we explore the murders of David O’Hearn, Frank Arkell, and Jack Van Krevel — a case involving alleged abuse, revenge, occult imagery, family betrayal, and the devastating consequences of violence. Was this truly a case of Satanic influence? Or was the “devil” simply a symbol used to justify something much more human? The Ritual Rewind brings you into the darkest corners of history, uncovering the crimes, conspiracies, and fears that shaped generations. Tonight, we rewind it back to 1998 and dive into the case of The Devil and the Sibling Satanists. 🎙️ Follow The Ritual Rewind: TikTok: @theritualrewind Instagram: @theritualrewind Facebook: @theritualrewind If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a rating, review, or comment.

The Devil and The Dungeon Master

In July 1988, a wealthy North Carolina businessman was brutally stabbed to death inside his own bedroom. His wife barely survived. At first, police believed they were hunting a violent home intruder. What they uncovered instead shocked the nation. A troubled college student. A secret plot fueled by greed. Underground tunnels beneath a university campus. Obsession with Dungeons & Dragons. LSD-fueled fantasies. And a murder conspiracy that blurred the line between reality and role-playing. Was this proof of the Satanic Panic fears gripping America in the 1980s? Or was it simply a tragic case of manipulation, fantasy, and murder? In this episode of Ritual Rewind, we examine the infamous 1988 Von Stein murder case, the investigation that captivated the country, and the controversial role Dungeons & Dragons played in one of the most notorious crimes of the decade. Was it a real-life fantasy gone wrong... or something even darker? 👍 Like 🔔 Subscribe 💬 Comment 📱 Follow us: @theritualrewind on Instagram, TikTok & Facebook

The Devil and The S.K.A.T.E.R.S - The Ellender Murders

Did a satanic cult murder a young Louisiana family on the eve of Mardi Gras? In February 1991, Eric and Pam Ellender were brutally murdered in their home in Sulphur, Louisiana while their 18-month-old daughter was left alive in her crib. Authorities quickly arrested teenager Chris Prudhomme, but rumors spread that the killings were connected to a mysterious group known as SKATERS (Satan's Kids Against The Establishment)—a gang of teenage skateboarders allegedly involved in occult practices, drugs, and devil worship. When the official investigation stalled, Pam's father, Huey Littleton, launched his own relentless search for answers. What he uncovered would fuel years of controversy, conspiracy theories, grand jury investigations, and allegations of a satanic cult operating in southwest Louisiana. Were the Ellender murders simply a burglary gone wrong, or was there something darker behind the crime?

The Devil and The Death Metal Murders - The Beasts of Satan

A satanic death metal band. A series of disappearances. And bodies buried in the woods outside Milan. In the late 1990s, a group of young musicians known as Beasts of Satan emerged from the underground metal scene of Milan. What began as drug-fueled occult rituals and black masses soon spiraled into something far darker. Teenagers vanished. Bodies turned up burned, hanged, or buried in shallow graves. Police ruled many of the deaths suicides. But one grieving father refused to believe it. For six years, Michele Tollis searched for answers after his son Fabio Tollis and Fabio’s girlfriend Chiara Marino disappeared after a night at a heavy metal club in January 1998. What he uncovered would expose one of the most disturbing cult murder cases in modern Italian history.

The Devil and Satan's Underground - The Sordid Tale of Lauren Stratford

At the height of the Satanic Panic, one woman’s story shocked America. Lauren Stratford claimed she had survived years of ritual abuse, sexual slavery, and satanic ceremonies carried out by a hidden network operating in the shadows of American society. Her book, Satan’s Underground, became a national sensation—launching her into fame, speaking tours, and even an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. But as her story spread… so did doubt. In this episode of The Ritual Rewind, we dive into the rise and unraveling of one of the most infamous figures of the era—a woman whose horrifying claims helped fuel a nationwide moral panic… and whose past would soon be picked apart by investigators, journalists, and skeptics alike. We explore the disturbing allegations, the cultural climate that allowed them to thrive, and the investigation by Cornerstone Magazine that uncovered contradictions, false identities, and a long history of deception. How did one story captivate a nation? Why were so many willing to believe it? And what does it reveal about fear, faith, and the power of narrative? Tonight, we rewind back to 1988 to examine the truth behind The Devil and Satan’s Underground. 🎙️ The Ritual Rewind explores true crime, occult history, and the cultural fears that defined the late 20th century.

THE DEVIL AND THE FINDERS

In February 1987, a concerned citizen in Tallahassee, Florida called 911 after seeing something deeply unsettling at a local playground: six small children wandering barefoot and dirty under the supervision of two strange men in suits beside a blue van with out-of-state plates. What police discovered that afternoon would open the door to one of the strangest and most controversial investigations of the Satanic Panic era. The men claimed they were teachers traveling with the children to start a school in Mexico. But inside their van were cryptic documents, strange communications equipment, and clues that led investigators to a secretive Washington D.C. organization known as The Finders. In this episode of The Ritual Rewind, we explore the bizarre story of The Finders cult—a group tied to a mysterious commune in Virginia, a shadowy data-analysis company called Future Enterprises, and allegations that drew the attention of the FBI, the State Department, and even the CIA. Investigators uncovered unusual photographs, disturbing documents about psychological conditioning, and reports that raised troubling questions about the group’s activities. Yet just as the investigation began gaining momentum, it was abruptly shut down. Charges were dropped. The children were returned to their mothers. And the case files were marked confidential. Decades later, the mystery surrounding The Finders still fuels speculation: Was this simply an unconventional communal group misunderstood during the paranoia of the 1980s… or something far more secretive operating in the shadows? Tonight, we rewind back to 1987 to examine the allegations, the investigation, and the enduring controversy behind The Devil and The Finders. 🎙️ The Ritual Rewind explores true crime, occult history, and the cultural fears that shaped the late 20th century.

The Devil and Hatred - The Murder of Elyse Pahler

In July 1995, 15-year-old Elyse Pahler vanished from her quiet neighborhood in Nipomo Mesa, California. At first, authorities assumed she had run away. But the truth was far darker. Lured into a eucalyptus grove by three teenage boys she thought she could trust, Elyse became the center of a crime that shocked the nation — a killing the perpetrators claimed was a “sacrifice” meant to empower their death metal band. For nine months, her family searched. Flyers were printed. Tips poured in. But Elyse was never far from home. In this episode of The Ritual Rewind, we examine the disturbing case of Royce Casey, Jacob Delashmutt, and Joseph Fiorella — teenagers obsessed with Satanic imagery, violent lyrics, and occult symbolism during the height of America’s lingering Satanic Panic era. We explore how fantasy blurred into reality, how warning signs were missed, and how one confession finally exposed what happened inside what they called “The Devil’s Grove.” We also examine the controversial lawsuit against the band Slayer, the debate over music and violent influence, and the lasting impact this case had on parents, law enforcement, and a generation raised on fear of hidden cults. Was this a product of moral hysteria? Or something far more personal — and far more tragic? 🎙️ The Ritual Rewind dives deep into true crime, occult history, and the cultural fears that shaped the late 20th century.
