The Kirtland Massacre
The Kirtland Massacre: The True and Terrible Story of the Mormon Cult Murders by Cynthia Stalter Sasse and Peggy Murphy Widder is a harrowing account of religious fanaticism turned deadly. This investigative narrative recounts the rise of Jeffrey Lundgren, a self-proclaimed prophet who led a breakaway sect in Kirtland, Ohio—and orchestrated the ritualistic murder of a family of five, including two children, in 1989.
Drawing on court records, interviews, and firsthand reporting, the authors unravel how Lundgren manipulated scripture, isolated his followers, and ultimately convinced them to commit an unthinkable act in the name of divine will. The book also explores the psychological grip of cult dynamics and the law enforcement efforts that brought the perpetrators to justice.
Perfect for readers of true crime, religious cult studies, and criminal psychology, The Kirtland Massacre is a sobering reminder of how belief can be twisted into violence.
