Cauldron of Blood: The Matamoros Cult Killings

By Jim Schutze

Book Overview

"Death, drugs and the occult meet in grisly inquiry at the Mexican border" in this true crime account of a mass murder by a serial killing cult leader (The New York Times).

When Mark Kilroy vanished while on spring break in Matamoros, Mexico, the search for the missing pre-med student led to a gruesome discovery on a lonely stretch of land called Rancho Santa Elena: a mass grave containing Mark's mutilated corpse along with the remains of thirteen other people. The investigation uncovered how the victims were brutally killed at the hands of drug trafficker and cult leader Adolpho Constanzo, known by his followers as El Padrino, or The Godfather. Constanzo was a serial killer who, along with his followers, tortured and cannibalized innocent people in the barbaric religious ritual of human sacrifice.

Written by critically acclaimed journalist Jim Schutze, Cauldron of Blood is a must-read for true-crime fans.

CAULDRON OF BLOOD THE MATAMOROS CULT KILLINGS

This book is a chilling true account of the disappearance and murder of Mark Kilroy and thirteen others in 1989 makes you wonder just how many more cults like this are out there and makes you think twice about allowing a loved one under 30 to travel the border country alone and unarmed.

Terrifying

Whoever said fact was stranger than fiction never read this one. If they had, they would have said "No story ever conceived by mortal mind could approach the real-life horror if non-fiction." This one will give you the creeps, no kidding, and -beware- the nganga will get you!!
