Prophet of Evil: The Ervil LeBaron Story

What happens when faith is twisted into a weapon?

In this chilling episode of Serial Killer Files by Skoob, host Arthur Morgan dives deep into the terrifying true story of Ervil LeBaron, the self-proclaimed prophet who turned religious belief into a system of control, violence, and murder. Known as the “Mormon Manson,” LeBaron used extremist theology, blood atonement doctrine, and absolute obedience to order assassinations—including the killing of his own family members.

From cult indoctrination and secret hit lists to prison-written death orders that continued long after his death, this episode exposes how Ervil LeBaron built one of the deadliest religious cults in American history. You’ll hear how ordinary followers were manipulated into becoming killers—and how the violence echoed for decades across the U.S. and Mexico.

This is a disturbing true crime deep dive into cult psychology, religious extremism, and the dangers of unchecked authority.
