While rumors of satanic cabals molesting and eating people in the ‘80s were mainly hoax, that doesn’t mean there were
no weirdos out there committing horrific crimes in the name of Satan. In 1981 and 1982, Robin Gecht headed up a satanic cult later called the Ripper Crew that attacked at least seven and possibly as many as 20 women in the Chicago area, who were variously killed, abused, and/or mutilated as part of their rituals.
