The Case of Mark Kilroy

In March of 1989, a bright and promising college student named Mark Kilroy vanished while on spring break in Mexico. What began as a night of partying with friends in Matamoros quickly spiraled into one of the most shocking and disturbing murder cases in history. When investigators uncovered what had happened to Mark, they stumbled upon a cult practicing dark rituals... blending drug trafficking with human sacrifice. This is the horrifying story of Mark Kilroy, and the night that exposed a deadly cult on the Mexican border.
