The Kirtland Cult Killings: Part 1 & 2

On today’s episode we are going to start a look into the Kirtland Cult Killings from 1989 in Kirtland, Ohio. Located in Lake County and only a 25 minute drive east of Cleveland the small town became a national story in January 1990. After moving to town, Lundgren became a lay minister in Kirtland for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Dale Luffman, president of the northeast Ohio chapter of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, said Lundgren worked from 1985 to 1987 at a church temple in Kirtland. Lundgren conducted tours for the public of the church's 153-year-old temple in Kirtland when he moved from Kansas City, Mo.  SOURCES: https://www.news-herald.com/2014/12/30/kirtland-cult-killings-looking-back-at-lake-countys-worst-mass-murder-25-years-later/ https://web.archive.org/web/20080828040940/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/24/ap/national/mainD8KV5DV80.shtml https://www.news-herald.com/2014/12/30/kirtland-cult-killings-time-has-healed-the-city-of-faith-and-beauty/ https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna14500204 https://web.archive.org/web/20061019025800/http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/10/18/bc.na.gen.us.cultleader.ap/index.html https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kirtland-cult-killings_n_7088210 https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/ohio/cleveland/kirtland-cult-cle/ https://fox8.com/news/true-crime-in-cleveland-kirtland-cult-murders/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJso4RfdCg http://www2.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=68347 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88389254/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88389475/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88390405/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88391008/ https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/history/topics/kirtland-ohio?lang=eng&abVersion=V02&abName=GLOB88 caselaw.findlaw.com https://www.news-herald.com/news/ohio/kirtland-cult-killings-timeline-of-events/article_d13876c8-f5bb-5134-8ee3-3f0df58ed99f.html https://youtu.be/OZJso4RfdCg Learn more about your ad choices.
