Ricky Kasso, Acid King

Ricky Kasso was the star of one of the 1980's biggest Satanic scandals.

He supposedly killed himself by hanging while on suicide watch in the local jail after being arrested for the murder of Gary Lauwers in 1984.

But where was this seventeen year old small town kid getting LSD and PCP from?

I heard that he had been observed sitting in a telephone booth in town while tripping, just staring at the walls. This brought to mind the infamous MKULTRA experiments.

The night Gary Lauwers was killed, all four of the boys in the woods were heavily dosed.

The other two boys were let go - one cut a deal to be a prosecution witness against the other, and that other, Jimmy Troiano, was acquitted. The psychedelic drugs the boys had ingested made it impossible for the courts to know exactly who had done what.

Who was giving these kids mind-altering drugs?

Could this crime have been the work of an outside force?
