On April 5, 1980, Sister Madalyn Marie went to prepare for Easter Sunday which was the following day, entered the sacristy and stumbled across a horrifying scene.

71-year-old Sister Margaret Ann Pahl lay dead on the floor. Father Robinson was the main suspect but there wasn't enough evidence for him to be charged and the case went cold.

Twenty-three years later the case would be reopened after a woman comes forward with allegations of ritualistic abuse within the Toledo diocese. The woman said that she had been sexually and physically abused by members of the church in her youth and that she had witnessed satanic rituals where animals and children were sacrificed.
