On a sweltering July afternoon in 1984, Dan Lafferty walked into his brother's home in American Fork, Utah, wrestled his sister-in-law Brenda to the ground, and slit her throat with a ten-inch boning knife. Then he went to the nursery and did the same to her fifteen-month-old daughter, Erica. His hands were steady. His conscience was clear. He was, after all, just following orders-God's orders, delivered through his brother Ron's divine revelation. This wasn't a crime, Dan insisted later from his prison cell, his wild white beard reaching his chest. This was obedience. How does a devoted family man become convinced that murdering a young mother and her baby is righteous? This question drives us into the heart of Mormon fundamentalism, where faith doesn't just move mountains-it justifies slaughter. The Lafferty case isn't an isolated aberration. It's a window into what happens when religious certainty collides with reality, when scripture becomes more real than the human beings it's used to condemn.
