About this episode
In the penultimate episode of Season 2 of True Crime Horror Story, your host JD Horror brings you the third part of our series on cults. Case #1: Suffer the Children - At the behest of an offshoot of the Grail Movement cult, Klara Mauerova kept her sons locked in cages in her basement, where they were tortured for months in a misguided quest for enlightenment and transcendence. (The Mauerova Family, Czech Republic, Researched by Lana McCall, Written by JD) Case #2: Superior Universal Alignment - Valentina de Andrade was the leader of the Lineamento Universal Superior or LUS, a bizarre cult whose beliefs blended the concepts of a space alien Jesus, and a hatred towards children born after the age of 1981. Her followers would leave a trail of castrated bodies all across the Altamira area of Brazil. (LUS / Valentina de Andrade, Altamira, Brazil, Researched by Lana McCall, written by JD) If you like what you hear here on True Crime Horror Story please subscribe and give us a 5 star review.
