True Crime

Death of 5 Year Old Boy Contains Hallmarks of Devil Worship

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS GRAPHIC MATERIAL AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

Some crimes are so heinous that they sound like they could have sprouted right out of fiction.  This is exactly the case surrounding the death of a five-year-old boy in Brazil, a life that ended so abruptly and unjustly.  He will sadly now be known as a ghost story whispered at sleepovers and around campfires, a warning to those thinking of dabbling in black magic and devil worship.

In 2019, 18-year-old Karina Roque was left in charge of her 5-year-old brother, Maycon, while her mother left the home for errands.  Upon her return, the door to the home was locked and her daughter would not allow her access into the house.  Frantically desperate, the mother called her brother to kick down the door to gain access inside.  Yet in her deepest, darkest nightmares she could not have imagined the horrors that waited for her beyond that door.

In the mere hours of her mother’s absence, Karina tortured, dismembered, and cannibalized her younger brother.  It looked like a scene from the most grotesque and twisted modern horror film, and if that wasn’t horrific enough, it appeared to police to have roots in black magic and devil worship.

Karina tried to escape the scene.  As she was prevented from doing so, she turned to violent tactics.  She became wildly aggressive and began throwing objects at her captors.  She even bit the family dog which attacked her while she was being restrained.

Entering the scene, authorities found the body of five year old Maycon on the floor surrounded by candles.   The injuries he had sustained were downright brutal, and also suggested ties to Satanic rituals.

Upon examination, Maycon’s eyes were pierced, the bottom of his feet were burned, and his wrists were cut.  His neck suffered such deep lacerations that the child was nearly decapitated.  Karina admitted to authorities that she removed the victim’s genitals and ate them.  Fortunately, if such a word could be used in this case at all, the boy was suffocated to death before any of these tortures befell upon him.

With many of the hallmarks of devil worship, authorities are looking to this as a motive, as they should also be looking at possible drug use and psychological disorders amongst the family and assailant as well.

Netflix to Release Duplass Brothers’ True-Crime Doc ‘American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders’

Published

on

The Octopus Murder Documentary

A strange organization known as “The Octopus” is getting the Netflix true-crime treatment. The streaming service has ordered the documentary called American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders which explores this alleged real crime conglomerate.

Brothers Jay (left) and Mark Duplass have been making films together since they were kids.

Even more interesting is that Duplass Brothers Productions and Stardust Frames will be bankrolling the project. The Duplass Brothers consist of Mark and Jay and they have produced movies such as Bad Milo (2013), Tangerine (2015), and of course the cult horror favorite Creep (2015). Creep 2 (2017) was produced by Netflix and Blumhouse.

According to Deadline, American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders starts with the discovery of a dead journalist, Danny Casolaro (pictured above), from an apparent suicide. But his family isn’t convinced. They think it was a result of Casolaro’s investigative reporting on a secret crime organization known as “The Octopus.” He believed that they were behind multiple murders, high-tech spy software thievery, and political scandals.

Enter researcher Christian Hansen who is determined to get to the bottom of Casolaro’s death and expose “The Octopus” and its far-reaching arms.

“Six years ago we got to work side by side with the brilliant Way Brothers on Wild, Wild Country,” said Mark Duplass. “When we found out about the Octopus Conspiracy, and Zach and Christian’s unique perspective and unparalleled dedication to this story, we knew this was the project that would bring us back together.”

Maclain Way of Stardust Frames adds, “When Zach and Christian first told us about The Octopus Conspiracy— a story they had been investigating for years— we were enthralled by tales of stolen spy software, government cover-ups, and the parallels with a journalist who died under suspicious circumstances digging into this story.  With our partners Netflix and Duplass Brothers Productions, we can’t wait for audiences to submerge themselves into the mysterious world of The Octopus.”

This will be a four-part series scheduled to air on February 28.

Netflix Doc ‘American Nightmare’ Looks Like a Real-Life ‘Gone Girl’

Published

American Nightmare Netflix documentary series

Some of Netflix’s most popular shows are real-crime docu-series and American Nightmare looks like it’s going to be another doozy. It’s a story much like the Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike mystery-thriller movie Gone Girl which coincidently was released just two months before the crimes depicted in American Nightmare. Could the movie have inspired the real-life mystery? Hopefully, Netflix will tell us.

American Nightmare – Netflix

It’s a twisted story that begins on March 23, 2015, in Northern California. Thirty-year-old physical therapist Aaron Quinn (pictured above left) called police claiming that wetsuit-wearing intruders infiltrated his home the night prior and kidnapped his girlfriend Denise Huskins (pictured above right). The reason for his 24-hour delay in calling the authorities, he claims, is because the kidnappers drugged him and were surveilling the house via CCTV.

Quinn’s integrity came into question after he failed a polygraph but strangely an audio file surfaced with Denise’s voice saying she had indeed been abducted. To complicate matters, Denise was eventually found in Huntington Beach at her father’s residence. She corroborated Quinn’s story, saying that she had been sexually assaulted.

We aren’t going to give away spoilers about how this case ends, but it’s definitely a twisted tale of revenge and gaslighting.

Watch the trailer below, and let us know if you will be watching American Nightmare when in premieres on Netflix on January 17.
