Father Gerald Robinson was a pillar of his Toledo, Ohio church-going community. But the secret he was hiding would wind up shocking the town, and the church, to its very core. Because although Father Robinson was well-known as someone who ministered to the sick, it’s one brutal act, committed in the very hospital where he served as chaplain, that will forever be remembered.

In one of the most bizarre true-crime cases you’ll ever hear,
John Glatt will describe the events surrounding Father Robinson’s conviction as the brutal murderer of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl in order to fulfill Satanic cult worship.

Glatt will reveal:

• The events surrounding the bizarre murder that baffled detectives for more than 20 years. Finally, based on the shocking evidence, a jury found:

• How Father Robinson fulfilled his Satanic bidding by stabbing his victim’s body in a pattern of a cross— and left her to die in the sacristy of the hospital where they both counseled the sick.

• How Father Robinson was chosen to preside at Sister Margaret’s funeral, only days after he had been responsible for her death.

• What finally led cold-case detectives to uncover Father Robinson’s hidden secret 24 years after the crime.
