Sixteen-year-old American killer Roderrick Justin Ferrell founded a teenage cult in Murray, Kentucky known as the “Vampire Clan”. The cult teens believed they were vampires with Roderrick claiming he was a 500-year-old vampire named Vesago, a character he created for himself after becoming obsessed with a role-playing video game. Roderrick along with three other teenage cult members of the “Vampire Clan” traveled from Kentucky to Florida to pick 15-year-old Heather Wendorf, who wanted to run away from home and join the cult. However, things would turn deadly on the night of November 25, 1996, when Roderrick committed the double murders of Heather’s parents, Richard Wendorf and Naoma Ruth Queen. So, was Roderrick a mentally unstable teenager or was he just a sinister mind.
