231: A Deadly Cult Led By A 1,000 Yr Old “Angel” In Kansas Needed To Be Stopped

Beginning in the 1990s, Daniel Perez (aka Lou Castro) built up a nomadic cult with limitless wealth, eventually settling just outside Wichita, Kansas in the 2000s. He captivated the most vulnerable of his followers through a bogus ideology of securing life after death and a broad claim that he had an immaculate link with divine angels who gave him the ability to foresee his followers’ deaths. Once his followers died, he lived off their life insurance policies. This funded his criminal lifestyle for years, which included pedophilia, insurance fraud, and encouraging his followers to commit suicide.
