The Stanford Murders | Four Bodies, Two Killers, & One Satanic Link

Listen to this episode from Crimehub: A True Crime Podcast on Spotify. In 1974, 19-year-old newlywed Arlis Perry was found brutally murdered in Stanford Memorial Church—ritually posed with candles, sexually violated, and pierced with an ice pick—sparking wild theories of satanic cults, the Son of Sam, and a coast-to-coast conspiracy. But after 44 years of mystery and misdirection, DNA evidence revealed the killer wasn’t a satanist or serial predator from afar, but the church's own security guard—Stephen Crawford—who had locked her inside and kept his secret until the day he took his own life.
