Amanda was a normal teen who loved her family and listening to classic rock. She adored animals and like many others who age enjoyed socializing at parties with friends. On the night of September 20, she headed out to go have some fun with her friends. They got someone to buy them a few bottles of whiskey and rum and then they headed to a house party in North Tonawanda, New York. Afterwards, they tried to get into a bar in Buffalo but were turned away because most people in the group were minors. At around 1:20 AM, friends saw Mandy get into the vehicle of an 18-year old male student from their high school. The friends saw the car drive off onto Oliver Street and that was the last time anyone ever saw Mandy alive again. 5 weeks later when two men were out looking for mushrooms near Bond Lake in Lewiston they discovered her lifeless body. By that point it was badly decomposed and It was determined by authorities that she had been strangled and also received several blows to the head that caused two fractures in her skull. #2 Order of the Solar TemplarBased on the ideals promoted by the Knights Templar, the Order of the Solar Templar (Ordre du Temple Solaire or OTS in French) was and still continues to remain one of the most secretive cults in the world today. Founded by Joseph Di Mambro and Luc Jouret in 1984 Joseph convinced his members that he was a reincarnated member of the Knights Templar and that his own daughter, Emanuelle, was "The Cosmic Child." He explained to them that a better life awaited them and that they would be taken to a planet orbiting the star Sirius when they died. Joseph was the son of a construction worker and raised as a Catholic. By the 1950s, he began practicing occultism and joined The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis. Afterwards, he established The Golden Way Foundation in hopes of making money as well as creating a connection with those who were interested in the occult, and It was here that he met Luc Jouret.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
