A ring of rich pedophiles runs the world.
Yep we can only wish it were just a conspiracy now.
I thought I read somewhere that True Detective was heading in the direction of exploring that idea at some point. Sooooo fucking much material for that these days.
Listen to this podcast and let me know if you don't end up convinced Season 1 of True Detective was based on these crimes.
From the pedophile ring coming into town for Mardi Gras down to the mentally ill brother and sister who were products of inbreeding, and living in an abandoned plantation home with a cistern where victims were kept.
Warning it it covers extremely disturbing content and can be very difficult to listen to.

I gave it a try but I couldn't listen. The talking part was crude and irritating which is not good for a podcast
????
Not sure what you mean by crude? The first season is narrated by a soft spoken broadcast journalist, and the second is narrated by his wife who is the investigator of the cases.
The entire podcast is just interviews with various witnesses and survivors. It's sometimes disturbing because these are disturbing cases, but I'm not sure what could be considered crude about it?
Very sorry. I must have been in special kind of mood since I responded to you in that way
