004: BRENDA AND ERICA LAFFERTY (PART 1.)

When I heard the tragic news about the end of the search for JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, the gruesome murders of Brenda Wright-Lafferty and Erica Lafferty at the hands of Ron and Dan Lafferty came immediately to my mind.

Like JJ, Tylee, Charles and Tammy, Brenda and Erica were murdered by Doomsday extremists.

Part one will discuss the background leading up to the murders of Brenda and Erica and the context behind them. I'll go into detail explaining the now defunct Mormon doctrine of plural marriage, why Dan Lafferty became so obsessed with polygamy after reading the Peacemaker and how Ron was able to manipulate Dan into believing he had received a "divine" revelation so they could carry out the murders.

In part two, I'll talk more about what blood atonement is and why it became the choice method of "removal".
