In the Name of Satan

This true crime account delves into the chilling 1995 murder of California teenager Elyse Pahler, brutally killed by three members of a local death metal band, Hatred—Royce Casey, Jacob Delashmutt, and Joe Fiorella. Driven by a twisted belief in human sacrifice to Satan, the teens' unspeakable act led to Pahler's disappearance, her body hidden for eight months, and a shocking investigation that exposed the dark intersection of adolescent obsession and ultimate evil.
