Fall River Satanic Cult Murders Focus of New EPIX Docuseries
Coming off the successful filming of
Jungleland on the SouthCoast and the Quibi (now Roku) production of
Run This Town, a look at the alleged corruption in the Fall River mayor's office during the Jasiel Correia administration, Fall River has once again been thrust into the spotlight.
A new docuseries will be released on EPIX this spring that will focus on a streak of brutal Fall River murders back in 1979, in an era known for the "Satanic Panic." Three young women were killed in what was believed to be a part of a disturbing, satanic cult ritual. According to a press release from EPIX, the cult leader, a man named Carl Drew, was practicing human sacrifice. Drew was captured and sent to prison for life without parole.
