Awesome research and read JD.

One thing that really bothers me - the potential tie of Samuel Untermeyer to occult practices. Untermeyer Park was a hangout spot for some of the characters around the whole “Son of Sam” cult. It is difficult to separate fact from fiction in that story, but there are some troubling connections. Why choose that park? Was Maury Terry correct about Untermeyer’s participation with the occult? That is a rabbit hole that goes deep, but truth is hard to verify.

I'm convinced that Satan does a lot of things for his own chuckles.

Thank you, JD, for stitching all this together. I have been trying lately to make sense of these seemingly unrelated names, events, and concepts, and they, separately and as a whole, are way over my head. But this is a trail that is vital and imperative to be followed to its conclusion, like that lost little girl and the bleeding deer. We may not understand how we got this far, but whatever we find to be true, we have to embrace the outcome and thank God for his wonderful Providence. And fear not, He's got this!

Fantastic work on this series!

Just FYI: I believe it is "Lotos Club" (Not "Lotus")
