254: The Day the Music Died – The Murder of John Lennon

On December 8, 1980, the world lost a legend. John Lennon—iconic Beatle, peace activist, and voice of a generation—was shot multiple times outside his New York City apartment in a senseless act of violence. In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we unravel the twisted psychology of his killer, Mark David Chapman, whose obsession with fame and delusion collided in one of the most shocking celebrity murders in history. We explore Lennon’s final days, the eerie premonitions, the haunting symbolism of The Catcher in the Rye, and the dark underbelly of idolatry. This isn't just a story about a murder—it's about the cost of fame, the fragility of peace, and the sinister side of devotion.

Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way…well that’s just road kill.  On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil. Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort…but what happens when that world is shattered… Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the world of Televangelists and cultish child sexual predator, Warren Jeffs.  Seasons 2 and 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we’re traveling to the depths of hell, expanding our realm and covering Preachers, Cult Leaders and Religious Organizations linked to horrific crimes...and some of these cases involve leaders who kidnap, rape and murder the ones who trust them the most.    What if, after leading you in prayer, he lures to the bedroom.  What it the same preacher who captures your heart, kidnaps your child. What if, the priest serving you communion used those same hands to dispose of a corpse. These Preachers committed heinous crimes - right under …your…. nose.. - with a bible next to their bed - and a cross around their neck.  Rachael O’Brien is the host of Seven Deadly Sinners, and she guides you on this hellish journey of deception all under the guise of Faith.
