Deadly Devotion: Mormon Murders
NOTE FROM BLOG OWNER
One thing to remember, this cult is NOT Mormon. They are an off-shoot of an off-shoot. Jeffrey Lundgren was NOT a Mormon preacher. The title of the ID show Deadly Devotions: Mormon Murders is really inaccurate for this heinous crime. If you want to comment on this crime, that is great, but do not bring the Mormon church into it. Please. This is not the place for it. Please remember the victims, the Avery Family.
