On February 12, 1998, seventeen-year-old Rod Ferrell pleaded guilty to killing a Eustis, Florida couple with a crowbar. The leader of a teenage vampire cult, Ferrell was allegedly helped in the double slaying by his then-girlfriend, Charity Lynn Keesee, and two other members of the cult. The victims, Richard Wendorf and Naoma Queen, were the parents of Heather Wendorf, a friend of Ferrell’s, and were beaten to death in their home on November 25, 1996. The road to the murders began some three days earlier, on November 22. Late that night or early in the morning of the 23rd, Ferrell — along with Keesee and the two cult members, Howard Scott Anderson and Dana Cooper — left his hometown of Murray, Kentucky to drive down to Eustis. After the four arrived in Eustis, Ferrell, who had lived there for several years before moving back to Murray to live with his mother, tracked down Wendorf and told another acquaintance, Audrey Presson, that he was in town for unfinished business.
