82 Duped By An Angel: Lou Castro and Angels Landing Cult Part 1

Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer: A True Crime Podcast

Lou Castro (Real name, Daniel Perez) was a con man, and he was really good at it. Before too long into adulthood, he began concocting an unbelievable story that would rope in the unsuspecting and people who were at the end of their rope.

He began telling people that he was an angel, and that he was 1000 years old...Or several thousand years old...Or, that he had powers to see into the future and prophecy when people would die. He could also raise the dead. He could also bring people back from the dead. He himself had come back to life. Whatever he needed the story to be was what it was, and his small group of cultists believed every word of it.

But, he needed money, and lots of it. So, he talked his members into taking out huge life insurance policies on themselves, and then they would die, and Lou got all the money.

He had a compound in Kansas, nice cars, and he and everyone else were living large.

He also convinced them that he had to have sex with as many young girls as possible, so he could continue to be immortal.

This guy was a total douchebag
