The Lafferty case unveils a cryptic and disturbing narrative surrounding brothers Dan and Ron Lafferty — once devout members of the LDS Church who splintered off to form their own extremist sect, “The School of the Prophets.” Their descent into fanaticism culminated in the brutal 1984 murders of Brenda Lafferty and her 18‑month‑old daughter Erica, killings they claimed were commanded by “divine revelation.”
