This is from Radio Free Mormon. A viewer had sent him an interview with Dan Lafferty that Tom Barberi had conducted in 2000. The stuff out of nightmares.

I just listened. OMG indeed. The man is definitely a psychopath. Either that or he's Elijah. I have to pray about it. I thought RFM did a great job of paralleling Lafferty's language with that of Nephi when the spirit was guiding him to do a little beheadin'.

Does anyone know if his claim about the excommunications is correct? He says they were excommunicated for disobeying the law for tax evasion and sending back their drivers and marriage licenses, not for doctrinal aberrations.

Wow....I just listened to this! So cold and absolutely no remorse. I haven't watched the TV series, but I'm reading that many feel it's too bad this interview didn't surface prior to it being made.

I did read the book years ago and it was chilling (I grew up in Utah and was born in American Fork so I remember when this happened).

One thing I have read, is that Ron may have been the one who killed their sister-in-law (and Dan killed the baby). The driver of the get away car testified that's what was said immediately afterwards, but who knows? Dan confessed to both of murders.

I wonder if Dan is still waiting (now another 22 years) for God to get him out of prison???

That would be a hoot. People can be excommunicated for pointing out that the main ancestry of Native Americans is North Asian, but not for the desire to polygamate with their own daughter.

Just listened... they way he spoke about it and was even making little jokes here and there... just chilling, I can't get it out of my head the way he talks about killing a mother and her baby like he was just doing some mundane thing.

I'm watching the Hulu series now and I think Wyatt Russell is doing a pretty good job of portraying him.... the way he can explain his justification for doing something horrific like it's just some normal thing.

The way he describes feeling the spirit driving him toward the murders was creepy.

Glad this interview came to light. Makes me want to go dig out all the cassette tapes I have in a box and see what was recorded. 🤣
