Trigger Warning: This case contains discussion of child sexual abuse.

On Holy Saturday, April 5, 1980, investigators walked into a scene that could have been ripped from a horror film. Inside the sacristy of Toledo’s Mercy Hospital chapel lay the body of 71-year-old Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, sprawled across the cold floor. She had been strangled and stabbed repeatedly in the chest and neck, the wounds arranged in the shape of a cross.

In a grotesque act of desecration, Sister Margaret Ann was sexually assaulted with a crucifix, and her blood was collected in a golden chalice. The man accused of this atrocity was not a faceless predator, but a priest named Father Gerald Robinson. What followed was a case that touched on satanic ritual, sexual violence, homicide, institutional coverups, and whispers of a cult operating in the shadows comprised of priests, nuns, doctors, and even parents, all accused of committing unspeakable acts of cruelty. Please listen with caution.
