This is a very interesting thread mercy1825! I'm not a witch (although some would beg to differ) but I do know that many people who practice witchcraft and believe in the occult do so for spiritual enlightenment. Sadly, the ancient Zoroastian worship of good verses evil has been completely mis-interpreted by a lot of today's "satanists" and cult leaders who have decided to channel their anger in evil and violent ways.

11. Also, I remember a woman who escaped from a cult when a utility repair man rescued her? More info appreciated!!!
#9 is Nicolas Karopoulos who was taken by his mother from San Francisco to live among a nomadic cult in numerous cities. He has been reunited with his father.

# 11 is the McCloud Cult? Has he ever been caught?

Other cases:

1) From the first season, a woman who killed her boyfriend/husband and practiced witchcraft. You may recall the beginning credits from seasons 2-4 showed a snippet from the episode of her wearing black negligee and sitting in a pentagram lighting candles. I remember an update that she was caught, but I haven't seen this case since it originally aired. Anyone have more info on this case?

2) The story of the "real-life" Salem witch who helped the local police solve crimes.

3) And of course, the mother of all idiotic satanists: Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker". UM did an episode where they were searching for the man who gave police vital info that lead to the arrest of Ramirez.
