Author Jesse P. Pollack is back to debunk the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and the case of Ricky Kasso. He was a teenager from Northport, New York, who became infamous for killing his friend Gary Lauwers in 1984. Kasso, who was also known as the Acid King, was involved in drugs and was believed to be involved with Satanic activities. He stabbed Lauwers multiple times in the woods and left his body there for two weeks. Kasso confessed to the murder but hanged himself in jail before his trial.

Kasso accused Lauwers of stealing some of his drugs and attacked him with a knife. He stabbed Lauwers multiple times in the eyes and other parts of his body while allegedly asking him to say he loved Satan.
