SYNOPSIS: Neighbors in rural Kirtland, Ohio welcomed Jeffrey Lundgren when he, his wife Alice and their four children rented a rundown 100 year-old farmhouse in October, 1987. Little did they know that it would become the site of one of the worst cult killings in American history. THE KIRTLAND MASSACRE recounts the rise and fall of Jeff Lundgren, self-proclaimed prophet of a deviant death cult loosely based on the Book of Mormon. Seducing his followers away from the established Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints with promises of personal salvation, he ordered them to build an arsenal of assault weapons, trained the men in strange survivalist skills and forced the women to submit to perverse orgies of sexual humiliation. Dennis and Cheryl Avery and their three young daughters were new members, but when they discovered the "prophet's" true motivations, they rebelled. On April 17, 1989, Lundgren lured them into a pit, where he and several of his disciples slaughtered the entire Avery family, one by one, like animals. Nearly two years later, after a dramatic trial that shocked the nation, Jeff Lundgren was sentenced to death on five separate counts of first-degree murder. Co-authored by an assistant prosecutor of the sensational case, THE KIRTLAND MASSACRE is the frightening inside story of one man whose insatiable lust for power drove his followers to commit crimes of unspeakable horror including ritual sex and murder!
