The Cult That Hunted People in Chicago

The Cult That Hunted People in Chicago

In the early 1980s, the "Ripper Crew" turned the Chicago suburbs into a landscape of ritualistic terror. Operating out of a red Dodge van, this four-man group - led by a contractor with links to John Wayne Gacy - subjected at least eighteen women to dehumanizing, cult-like violence. This investigation examines the 1982 disappearance of Lorry Borowski and the "satanic chapel" discovered in a North Paulina Street attic.

While the ringleader remains behind bars, the 2019 release of Thomas Kokoraleis has reignited anxiety across Illinois. Despite a 1982 confession that led police to the remains of his victims, Kokoraleis now maintains his innocence, claiming his words were coerced. We explore the legal loopholes of a bygone era and the enduring friction between a state-mandated release and a family's search for the truth.
