On Sept. 30th, 1995 in Bellaire, Ohio -- 16 yr old Ryan Brooks was staying over at his friend Erik’s house. Like most teenagers, Ryan and Erik were up late hanging out. Ryan was out so late that he decided to check in with his parents. Ryan calls home at approximately 1:30 AM and his older brother Nathan answers the phone.
“Tell mom and dad that I’m staying with Erik tonight." His older brother Nathan responds: “No, I think mom and dad want you home." Believing that his parents want him to come home, Ryan only stays out for an hour or so longer before having Erik drive him back. It was a decision that probably saved his life. When Ryan came home, he walked into a scene that undoubtedly scarred him for the rest of his life. His parents had been murdered.
His mother, Marilyn, had been stabbed and mutilated with both an axe and a knife. His father, Terry, was shot in the head three times with a hunting rifle. His head was cut off with a hacksaw and placed in a punch bowl in the kitchen while his body still lay in his bed where he had been sleeping. Ryan’s older brother Nathan had lied to him. His parents hadn’t asked him to come home. Nathan had wanted him to come home so he could murder him along with the rest of the family. Even more, Nathan had created a kill list, and at the top of that list was Ryan. After Nathan killed his parents, he covered the house with satanic emblems and pentagrams.
Many believed that Nathan had killed his parents as part of a satanic ritual, and had fallen into the dark world of Satanic Practice. But Nathan and his lawyers plead insanity, insinuating that Nathan was not in his right mind when he killed his parents and had not meant to kill them. Nathan claimed the murders were not premeditated.
Was this a case of an impressionable teen falling into satanic ritualism? Or did something happen that night to mentally compromise Nathan’s sanity?
Stay safe out there friends, and we hope you enjoy the show.
