SAN JUAN, Texas – A satanic scare is sweeping the Rio Grande Valley – at least according to school officials and counselors who warn that devil worshippers are snatching children and cutting up their bodies.

Adelina Peña, a counselor with the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District, addressed parents at a recent forum on gangs and Satanism. The corpses are never found because the killers pulverize the body parts, turning them to dust, said Ruben Garcia, 35, a drug counselor who warns of such dangers at forums for parents and students.

Cult leaders "are very organized," Mr. Garcia said. "They know exactly what they're doing. Like anyone with a criminal mind, they think about everything."

So far, no one has come up with evidence of this perilous new crime wave.

"If large numbers of children were disappearing, we would be aware of that," said Tela Mange, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Public Safety. "We are not aware of any satanic cult kidnappings or ritualized murders that are occurring in the Valley at this time."

No matter. Some school officials in the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District are pressing ahead, telling parents that the dangers are real.

Many of the children seen on missing-persons posters in the Valley are probably already dead, the victims of human sacrifices, said Adelina Peña, a counselor in the district's Parental Involvement Department.

"This is a national trend," she said. "But it's just now getting to us. Before we're invaded, we want to give this information to parents."

She joined Mr. Garcia at an evening forum on gangs and Satanism on April 12 at Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School in San Juan. Forty or 50 parents and children watched as she projected details of a satanic calendar on a screen on the wall.

The calendar noted specific dates on which cult members were encouraged to kill people as part of sexual and satanic rituals.

Asked how she knows people are being killed, Ms. Peña said:

"We see the statistics on missing children. We see from the satanic calendar that there are many dates when human sacrifices must be made and, well, we link one to the other."

Only when pressed did she concede that she has no evidence. Still, something suspicious is going on, she said, citing recent happenings in nearby Brownsville.

'Vampire cult' report

The Brownsville Herald reported on April 6 that a woman's teenage son was part of a supposed "vampire cult" that planned to kill someone and drink their blood.

The 16-year-old boy reportedly had suicidal tendencies and was taken to San Antonio State Hospital where he was taking antidepressants, the mother told the newspaper.

Brownsville police have investigated the case and "have pretty much put it to rest," said Drew Brown, a spokeswoman for the Brownsville Independent School District. She declined to provide any details, citing student confidentiality.

The boy told school officials he was part of a group of students that cut each other, drank each other's blood and were plotting to sacrifice someone.

"Sorry if my blood isn't yummy," stated a letter by one of the students, according to the Herald. "I hope you don't feel bad about cutting me. I liked it a lot. It doesn't hurt."

Sgt. Jimmy Manrrique with the Brownsville Police Department said a group did form and began researching vampirism on the Internet. The group grew to five members, said Sgt. Manrrique, and was rumored to be planning to sacrifice one of the student's fathers and drink his blood.

But after interviews with students and parents and a search of lockers at schools, police were not able to substantiate the rumor.

The statistics

Scattered satanic killings have been documented over the years.

But studies show that only a tiny percentage of the nation's missing children are taken by strangers and killed, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

In 1999, for instance, 115 of the estimated 58,200 child abductions were carried out by strangers. In those cases, 40 percent of the victims were killed and another 4 percent were never found. And while the center can't say how many, if any, were satanic killings, its research has not uncovered significant numbers of murders by devil worshippers.

Undeterred, counselors in the Rio Grande Valley are warning parents to get help if their children start wearing black Gothic-style clothes and listen to heavy metal rock music.

"These things affect all of us. We have to be aware of what's happening," said Rene Ramirez, principal of Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School.

"Satanism is growing more and more in the Valley," particularly among middle school students, Mr. Garcia added.

"Satanism promises kids freedom, power, sex, drugs. You can have it all. You don't have to listen to authority," he said. "For students who don't fit in, it's very tempting."

But it's like bait, he said.

"It looks very pleasing to the fish. So the fish nibbles at it. But it never realizes that inside the bait is a hook. And the hook is deadly."

It's well known that Mexican Narco gangsters pray to the 'saint of death' and so do the police that assail them.It is literally a cult,second only to mainstream Catholocism in Mexico.

When I interviewed our local sheriff about the busts they made on MS-13 who are growing dope in our National forests of No. California he said there were all sorts of strange "religious" items in the camps that he'd never seen before. Many of the perps are green card holders, not to mention the AK47's they're holding at the same time. And we get all this "they're all good catholics with family values" from the open border lobby. Hah!

here is a little more to give you something think about if not serial killer then what ?? Cults or just sick minds from south of the border........

FBI says Mexico slayings not work of serial killer

EL PASO, Texas (March 12, 1999 11:38 p.m. EST (http://www.nandotimes.com)

A team of FBI agents investigated the killings of about 100 Mexican women in the northern border town of Cuidad Juarez and concluded they were not the work of a serial killer, the FBI said Friday.

Four agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with Mexican authorities in Cuidad Juarez for five days before arriving at the preliminary conclusion that most of the killings since 1993 were single homicides, the FBI said.

The findings contradict the theories of Mexican law enforcement officials, who say about 25 of the slayings were committed by a serial killer or a group of serial killers.

Robert Ressler, considered one of the foremost experts on serial killers in the United States, went to Juarez about six months ago and concluded that as many as 70 of the slayings were committed by groups of serial killers.

The FBI rejected such claims.

"Upon reviewing these cases, the (FBI) team determined that the majority of the cases were single homicides...," the agency said in a statement. "It would be irresponsible to state that a serial killer is loose in Juarez."

Since 1993 about 100 women, mostly young and poor, have been found murdered in Cuidad Juarez. Many of them were raped, stabbed multiple times, strangled and mutilated. Hundreds of other women are missing in the industrial city, which is located just across the Rio Grande from El Paso.

Two weeks ago Sharif Halil Sharif, an Egyptian chemist living in Juarez, was convicted of one of the killings. Authorities say he is responsible for 13 of the slayings.

Mexican officials asked the United States for help in determining whether the Juarez killings were the work of a serial killer.

Al Cruz, an FBI spokesman in El Paso, said the agents will return to Juarez in April. They will finish reviewing the evidence in about two months and will release their final conclusions thereafter.

If I can find it some where in my research I have info on a DEA agent killed years ago and it was satanic cult related.

I saw a documentary on that;at the time the were rounding up scapegoats for the murders.

Yep, it's been a few years ago and there is a book on it that I have some where in all my law enforcement reseach stuff.

One of my best friends who is born and raised here in San Francisco became involved with a Mexican cartel (self esteem problems) from Sinaloa,Mexico.The wear a framed picture of the cartel's founder around their neck exactly like people would wear a cross or other religious symbol.
