In 1997, 16-year-old Luke Woodham murdered three people and wounded seven in a short crime spree that began at home and ended at Pearl High School in Pearl, Mississippi. His small Mississippi town soon found itself in the grip of the Satanic Panic. It wasn’t long before rumors were flying about Woodham’s friend, 18-year-old Grant Boyette and his supposed satanic cult, The Kroth.
