Daughter of polygamist cult leader opens up on how she discovered disturbing truth about dad
Published By admin
The daughter of a polygamist cult leader has shared how she discovered the disturbing truth about her father.
Rebecca Lafferty has written a memoir where opens up about her story, as her dad, Dan Lafferty, continues to rot in prison for the horrific murder of his sister-in-law Brenda and her 15-month-old baby Erica.
Cults certainly don’t have a good history when it comes to killings, with Lori Vallow Daybell found guilty of murdering her own two children after leading a ‘doomsday cult’, and it was unfortunately a similar case with Dan Lafferty.
In 1984, Dan and his brother Ron were found guilty of the shocking murders of Brenda and Erica, with the case gaining huge publicity due to the brother’s extremist interpretation of Mormon fundamentalist beliefs.
Ron and Dan were fanatical about their small, splinter ‘religious’ group, called the School of the Prophets – which has been referred to as a ‘polygamist cult’ – and they claimed to be carrying out God’s orders with the brutal double murder.
Both brothers were handed two life sentences, although Ron died of natural causes in November 2019 aged 78, having attempted to take his own life shortly after first arriving in jail.
