The Devil and the Three Girls | Ritual Rewind Podcast

On a warm June night in 2000, in the quiet mountain town of Chiavenna, Italy, a nun received a desperate call for help. Hours later, Sister Maria Laura Mainetti was found brutally murdered — stabbed 19 times, her hands still clutching the hair of her attackers. When police discovered who was responsible, the truth stunned the nation: three teenage girls — her former students — had lured her into a trap, claiming to offer her as a sacrifice to Satan.

What drove three ordinary girls from middle-class families to commit a crime so monstrous it shocked the Vatican? Was it rebellion, mental illness… or something darker hiding in the cracks of a modern Europe still haunted by the Satanic Panic?

This is the story of The Devil and the Three Girls — a crime that blurred the line between faith, fear, and obsession, and the nun whose final words were an act of forgiveness.

🎙️ Ritual Rewind resurrects the forgotten horrors and cultural hysteria of the late 20th century — when cassette culture met cult culture and moral panic turned to madness.
