Speaker 1: Please note the following episode contains graphic and disturbing murder
Speaker 1: scenes involving children. Parental discretion as advised. It was July third,
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine, and shaping up to be another hot
Speaker 1: one in the US city of Detroit, Michigan, when Vincent
Speaker 1: Elias arrived at thirty five eighty seven Saint Auban Street. Vincent,
Speaker 1: a real estate dealer, had arranged to meet Benny evangelist,
Speaker 1: who lived at the property with his wife and four children,
Speaker 1: for a ten thirty business meeting to discuss a farm
Speaker 1: he was looking to buy from Benny. Vincent knocked on
Speaker 1: the door and stepped back onto the porch, checking his
Speaker 1: watch just to make sure he wasn't too early. Looking
Speaker 1: about the street, he couldn't help but notice how quiet
Speaker 1: it was for the usually bustling neighborhood, comprised largely of
Speaker 1: Italian and Polish immigrants lured to the New World on
Speaker 1: the promise of the American dream. Vincent checked his watch
Speaker 1: again and knocked for a second time, turning his ear
Speaker 1: to the door to listen out for any sign of
Speaker 1: movement from inside, but heard nothing. It was certainly a
Speaker 1: little odd, he thought, since though the kids would be
Speaker 1: at school, the youngest, and Benny's wife, Santina, would be home,
Speaker 1: even if Benny had forgotten their appointment. Growing impatient, Vincent
Speaker 1: pulled open the front door and stepped inside. Taking his
Speaker 1: hat in his hands, he called through apologetically as he
Speaker 1: looked about the entrance hall, expecting Benny or Santina to
Speaker 1: appear any moment, but the house remained completely still. Moving
Speaker 1: further inside, Vincent spied Benny sitting at his desk, albeit strangely. Still.
Speaker 1: Didn't you hear me knocking? He asked, but Benny didn't reply. Benny,
Speaker 1: he said, stepping closer, the word barely audible as it
Speaker 1: caught in his throat. For a moment, it looked as
Speaker 1: though he was leaning so far forward his head was
Speaker 1: being obscured by his back. But as Vincent drew nearer,
Speaker 1: he realized with a thumping horror his head wasn't visible
Speaker 1: because it wasn't on his shoulders. Then Vincent looked down
Speaker 1: to the floor. There, lying in a thick pool of
Speaker 1: blood was Benny's head, his eyes staring lifelessly up to
Speaker 1: the ceiling. Seconds later, Vincent was back in the street,
Speaker 1: heaving and gasping for air. Having flagged down two police officers,
Speaker 1: Patrol and Lawrence, and Costage, Vincent returned with them to
Speaker 1: the property, more than happy to be asked to wait
Speaker 1: for them outside. As they conducted a search of the house,
Speaker 1: they found Benny, just as Vincent had described, dressed in
Speaker 1: a dark suit, with his body leant forward against the
Speaker 1: desk with his hands pressed together in front of him
Speaker 1: as though conducting a silent prayer. The head seemed to
Speaker 1: have been taken off in one clean swoop, but there
Speaker 1: were some other things that Vincent hadn't noticed. Three photos
Speaker 1: that seemed to have been deliberately placed around the head,
Speaker 1: each showing the image of a young boy lying dead
Speaker 1: in a coffin. Then the officers noticed the set of
Speaker 1: bloody footprints leading away from the head and out of
Speaker 1: the room. Patrol and Lawrence stepped into the front hall
Speaker 1: and asked Vincent again who else lived at the property.
Speaker 1: As he eyed the bloody prints that trailed off towards
Speaker 1: the back of the house, his wife and four children,
Speaker 1: replied Vincent, with a concerned look toward his partner. Lawrence
Speaker 1: unclipped his gun and pressed on, cautiously, tracking the prince
Speaker 1: through the kitchen to the stairs. They took note of
Speaker 1: the pile of dishes, presumably from the night before, that
Speaker 1: had been washed but not yet put away. Pulling out
Speaker 1: their revolvers, the officers crept slowly up the stairs, the
Speaker 1: creak of each step echoing loudly as they made their
Speaker 1: way to the second floor and on into the master bedroom.
Speaker 1: Dear God, muttered Lawrence under his breath. The blood soaked
Speaker 1: body of a woman lay strewn across the bed, cradling
Speaker 1: a dead baby in her arms. The woman's head, which
Speaker 1: had been all but severed, was hanging limply over the
Speaker 1: side by a single sinuous thread. The baby's head, too,
Speaker 1: had been almost completely obliterated. The wall and bedsheets were
Speaker 1: splattered with blood, with the rest pulling out onto the floor.
Speaker 1: A huge gash on the woman's upper arm seemed to
Speaker 1: suggest the killer had tried to sever that too, and
Speaker 1: still the bloody footsteps continued through the bedroom and beyond
Speaker 1: into another smaller bedroom. Officer Lawrence turned away at the
Speaker 1: sight of a small child sprawled out on the floor,
Speaker 1: their skull cleaved right through the middle and lying one
Speaker 1: in each of the two beds. Two more young children,
Speaker 1: both killed in the exact same way. One child's arm
Speaker 1: had also been severed at the shoulder. It was a
Speaker 1: horror beyond comprehension, and it was about to get even stranger.
Speaker 1: You're listening to unexplained, and I am Richard mc lane Smith.
Speaker 1: Having secured the main house, Lawrence and Costage continued their
Speaker 1: search of the property, heading first into the attic. All
Speaker 1: about the room bunches of herbs had been left out
Speaker 1: to dry in a way that seemed almost ritualistic. Then,
Speaker 1: amid the boxes of surplus household items, they found a
Speaker 1: large collection of underwear, which they judged to have belonged
Speaker 1: to various women, with a different name tag tied to
Speaker 1: each item. But even more peculiar was what they found
Speaker 1: in the basement. Heading down into the darkness, Patrom and
Speaker 1: Lawrence stopped suddenly at the sight of what appeared to
Speaker 1: be bodies dangling from the ceiling, scrambling hastily for the lights,
Speaker 1: which the officer flicked it on to reveal nine or
Speaker 1: ten life sized papier mache figurines strung up to the
Speaker 1: ceiling with wire. Each figure, carefully crafted and deck rated,
Speaker 1: was different from the next, with strange and in some cases,
Speaker 1: grotesque features. One had a pair of wings, another an
Speaker 1: unusually long nose, and one was holding a baby covered
Speaker 1: in hair. The walls had been draped with green cloth,
Speaker 1: and in the middle of it all, a gigantic eye,
Speaker 1: lit up from the inside, had been positioned to shine
Speaker 1: down on everything. All in all, it was fair to
Speaker 1: say the officers had never seen anything like it. In
Speaker 1: a side room, they also found a stash of wine
Speaker 1: and kegs of beer, a not unusual find during the
Speaker 1: era of prohibition. After reporting their strange and horrific find
Speaker 1: back to police headquarters, the patrolman was soon joined by
Speaker 1: a swathe of colleagues intrigue to see it all for themselves.
Speaker 1: In total, more than twenty detectives representing almost every department
Speaker 1: arrived to take a look, from representatives of homicide to
Speaker 1: the bomb squat while outside. As word began to spread
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood, soon as many as two hundred people
Speaker 1: had descended on the property, keen to see it all too.
Speaker 1: Here's something you don't know about me. I often have
Speaker 1: troubles sleeping. Though I might get to sleep easily enough,
Speaker 1: within a few hours, I could be wide awake as
Speaker 1: my mind races through everything I didn't do everything I
Speaker 1: still need to do, or even just to some embarrassing
Speaker 1: thing I said years ago that no one else even
Speaker 1: remembers relatable. Yeah, it sucks. Fortunately, I was introduced to
Speaker 1: Sunday Sceries, who make products specifically for overthinkers and night
Speaker 1: howls like me C B D Gummies to help you decompress,
Speaker 1: clear your head, and fall asleep so you can actually

Speaker 1: was alone in dealing with every day's stress related issues,
Speaker 1: but Sunday Sceries reminded me that I'm not. Whether it's

Speaker 1: detectives Charles Searle and Earl Switzer leading the investigation, the
Speaker 1: police set about trying to disentangle just what an earth
Speaker 1: was going on. With the help of neighbors and Vincent
Speaker 1: Elias who had been detained at the scene, they ascertained
Speaker 1: the victims to be thirty six year old Santeen evangelist
Speaker 1: and her husband, the forty three year old Benny, along
Speaker 1: with their daughters eight year old Angelina and six year
Speaker 1: old Jenny, and their sons five year old Matthew and Mario,
Speaker 1: who was only eighteen months old. Business cards found on
Speaker 1: Benny's desk declared him to be a real estate developer
Speaker 1: and building contractor. But more pertinent to the officers were
Speaker 1: the other set of business cards they found scattered about
Speaker 1: the attic, on which was written mister Benny Evangelist, divine prophet,
Speaker 1: author and private history writer. As police continue to search
Speaker 1: the evangelist's house, things only got more bizarre. A wig
Speaker 1: and fake beard was found alongside what appeared to be
Speaker 1: two ceremonial sorts, all of which clashed somewhat with the
Speaker 1: various crucifixes dotted about the walls and the large painting
Speaker 1: of the Last Supper in Benny's study. There was a
Speaker 1: little more to Penny Evangelist than met the eye. As
Speaker 1: for clues to who the killer might be, police found
Speaker 1: only the bloody footprints, as well as a bloody finger
Speaker 1: and a thumb print on the front door latch. Unluckily
Speaker 1: for Vincent, since he was the last known person to
Speaker 1: enter the house and his feet were a similar size
Speaker 1: to the bloody prints, he was promptly taken in for questioning. However,
Speaker 1: an alibi was quickly established and he was soon released
Speaker 1: from custody. Then, detectives received word of a man seen
Speaker 1: brandishing a bloody knife only six blocks from the scene
Speaker 1: of the crime in the early hours of the previous morning.
Speaker 1: It seemed they might have their killer. Later in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: not long after, the victim's bodies were removed from the
Speaker 1: house as the crowd of hundreds watched on, detectives arrived
Speaker 1: at twenty eight thirty Pierce Street, located roughly five minutes
Speaker 1: walk from the evangelist's residence, there police discovered a razor
Speaker 1: edged banana knife, a short handle axe, and a freshly
Speaker 1: washed pair of shoes, all said to belong to thirty
Speaker 1: four year old Angelo Dapoli, who was lodging at the property.
Speaker 1: On closer inspection, the axe appeared to be covered in
Speaker 1: blood stains, and as detectives soon found out, it just
Speaker 1: so happened that Dapoli, along with his fellow lodger, forty
Speaker 1: two year old and Berto Pecchio, had visited the evangelists
Speaker 1: property the night before the murders, making them the last
Speaker 1: known people to see the family alive. With the axe
Speaker 1: being sent off for testing, the men were immediately brought
Speaker 1: in for questioning, and though Dapoli claimed to struggle to
Speaker 1: understand them, he denied all knowledge of the potentially incriminating objects. Tecchio,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, was a little more fourth coming.
Speaker 1: As it transpired, it was to Poli who had in
Speaker 1: fact accompanied him to the evangelist's property, having gone there
Speaker 1: to make a final payment on a property he was
Speaker 1: buying from Benny. As Techio explained, the pair arrived at
Speaker 1: the house around eight pm, then, after swiftly making the payment,
Speaker 1: headed on to a speakeasy where they spent the next
Speaker 1: few hours drinking together. They both returned to the boarding
Speaker 1: house around eleven PM and promptly went to bed, a
Speaker 1: fact that was attested to by a number of their
Speaker 1: fellow boarders. With the murders said to have occurred some
Speaker 1: time after midnight, this put Techio and to Poli away
Speaker 1: from the scene of the crime at the crucial time.
Speaker 1: After analysis, the marks on the axe were found to
Speaker 1: be simply rushed, and since neither Techio or Dapol's prince
Speaker 1: matched those found on the door, the pair were released
Speaker 1: the following day, Suddenly left without their anticipated suspect, The
Speaker 1: police began to dig a little further into Benny's life.
Speaker 1: After speaking to Benny's brother Antonio, things began steadily to
Speaker 1: become a little clearer. Benjamino of Angelista was born in Napoli, Italy,
Speaker 1: in eighteen eighty five, and in nineteen oh three emigrated
Speaker 1: to the USA at the age of seventeen to join
Speaker 1: his brother, who'd moved there two years earlier, living together
Speaker 1: while picking up odd jobs in construction and on the
Speaker 1: ever expanding railroads. Though the pair had once been close,
Speaker 1: things had become strained between them when one morning Benny
Speaker 1: claimed he'd started receiving visions from God at midnight for
Speaker 1: three hours every night since February the second, nineteen o six.
Speaker 1: He explained he'd been falling into a trance during which
Speaker 1: he was given visions of the true history of the
Speaker 1: world and how it had been created, dating back fifteen
Speaker 1: four hundred years to the time before Adam, all the
Speaker 1: way to the birth of Christ. Benny had also begun
Speaker 1: recording each and every vision he'd experienced for inclusion in
Speaker 1: a book he was planning to write. In response, Antonio,
Speaker 1: who like Benny, had been brought up a strict Roman Catholic,
Speaker 1: tried at first to ignore his brother's strange and growing obsession,
Speaker 1: until eventually he couldn't bear it any longer. By nineteen
Speaker 1: oh eight, he'd become so unsettled by it he disowned
Speaker 1: Benny and sent him away to the town of York
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, where he was able to find more work
Speaker 1: in railroad construction. Antonio knew little about his brother's time
Speaker 1: spent in York, but by nineteen twenty the pair had
Speaker 1: been reconciled, with Benny joining Antonio in Detroit, where he'd
Speaker 1: since moved with his family. Like thousands of others, Antonio
Speaker 1: had been drawn to the city by the extraordinary boom
Speaker 1: of the automobile industry, led by the Ford Motor Company
Speaker 1: and General Motors. Benny, however, had other ideas. Benny's time
Speaker 1: in York had done nothing to dampen his apparent fascination
Speaker 1: with mysticism, and by the time he moved to Detroit,
Speaker 1: he'd even established himself as something of a prophet and
Speaker 1: faith healer, and soon rumors of his unusual talent began
Speaker 1: to spread around the neighborhood. Working as a carpenter by day,
Speaker 1: at night, Benny moonlighted as a healer and prophet for higher,
Speaker 1: offering spells and healing rituals for up to ten dollars
Speaker 1: a pop. Though some might come for the novelty of
Speaker 1: a fortune read or the purchase of a love potion,
Speaker 1: ten dollars or one hundred and forty dollars in today's
Speaker 1: money wasn't cheap, and while others derided him as nothing
Speaker 1: but a circus fraud, many sincerely believed that what Benny
Speaker 1: was offering would cure them of their ills. It was
Speaker 1: during one such appointment that Benny met his wife, Santina,
Speaker 1: and before long, the pair had moved in together and
Speaker 1: were expecting their first child. Over time, Benny made so
Speaker 1: much money he was able to do away with the
Speaker 1: carpentry altogether and instead turned his attention to real estate
Speaker 1: while continuing to moonlight as a faith healer. And as
Speaker 1: the real estate business grew, so too did Benny's commitment
Speaker 1: to his more unusual profession. After moving into the large,
Speaker 1: four bedroom house at thirty five eighty seven Saint Auban Street,
Speaker 1: he immediately set about converting the basement into an altar
Speaker 1: that would become the center point of his healing rituals.
Speaker 1: The strange folk models he'd had constructed and hung up
Speaker 1: in their were depictions of various celestial planets, which he
Speaker 1: would then use to help read the signs that he
Speaker 1: claimed to receive from God. And on February second, nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty years after he started, he finally finished
Speaker 1: his book, which was published that year under the title
Speaker 1: The Oldest History of the World Discovered by a Cult Science,
Speaker 1: many copies of which were found by police piled up
Speaker 1: in his home. In it, Benny laid out the history
Speaker 1: of the world as it had apparently been dictated to
Speaker 1: him by God, in effect constituting a new Earth, which
Speaker 1: he named the Great Union Federation of America. In spite
Speaker 1: of this all, however, Benny continued to attend the local
Speaker 1: Catholic church, San Francesco's, which had become a haven for
Speaker 1: much of the local Italian population. Located on Brewster Street,
Speaker 1: only a few blocks from Saint Auban's, it was presided
Speaker 1: over by Father Francis Beccarini. Each of Any and Santina's
Speaker 1: four children were baptized there, leading Father Beccherini to suspect
Speaker 1: as he later told the police that Benny's interest in
Speaker 1: the occult was purely for financial gain, as opposed to
Speaker 1: any genuine spiritual interest. And yet, even at the time
Speaker 1: of his death, every night from midnight to three am,
Speaker 1: Benny continued to sit at his desk in his office
Speaker 1: and wait for the visions from God. Are you a

Speaker 1: to establish a motive, the police began to wonder if
Speaker 1: Benny and his family had been murdered by a disgruntled
Speaker 1: customer who he'd been unable to heal, or perhaps the
Speaker 1: partner of one of the women whose underwear he'd been
Speaker 1: keeping in the attic. Another theory was that, if Benny
Speaker 1: had been working to build up a cult following for
Speaker 1: his new religion, perhaps one of the followers, in a
Speaker 1: fit of religious mania, had been driven mad by the
Speaker 1: grotesque figurines during one of his rituals and had later
Speaker 1: returned to the house to murder the family. Things weren't
Speaker 1: helped by the fact that many in the local neighborhood,
Speaker 1: some because of how they'd been treated in the past
Speaker 1: and others due to their not entirely legal status, had
Speaker 1: grown suspicious of the police, and so they were reluctant
Speaker 1: to come forward with any pertinent information. Of the few
Speaker 1: neighbors and friends that did speak, however, despite Benny's own
Speaker 1: doctor describing him as insane on account of his dealings
Speaker 1: in the occult, most had only warm things to say
Speaker 1: about him and his family. Though they thought it ought
Speaker 1: whenever they saw him in the street, gazing toward the
Speaker 1: sky and gesticulating wildly, he appeared to be well respected
Speaker 1: among the local community. He'd even been granted a life
Speaker 1: since by the state of Michigan to practice his unusual medicine,
Speaker 1: and as for his visions of the real Earth history
Speaker 1: that he hoped to spread through his own Bible, it
Speaker 1: was no more speculative or unquantifiable as the very book
Speaker 1: under which much of the nation labored. For the police investigators, however,
Speaker 1: it was all a little too peculiar that no money, jewelry,
Speaker 1: or anything else of monetary value appeared to have been
Speaker 1: taken in the attack only seemed to strengthen their theory
Speaker 1: that his dabblings in the occult were to blame. A
Speaker 1: brief attempt to connect the crime with a similarly horrific
Speaker 1: and brutal murder of a woman and her two children
Speaker 1: in nearby River Rouge was quickly dismissed. Despite offering a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or fourteen thousand in today's money for any
Speaker 1: substantial information, no one came forward. On Saturday j six,
Speaker 1: as a crowd of three thousand gathered to watch six
Speaker 1: opal colored caskets were wheeled out of fl Calcatira funeral
Speaker 1: home by sixteen girls dressed all in white and pushed
Speaker 1: across the road to San Francesco's church. Emotions were high
Speaker 1: amongst the close knit community, shocked by the senseless brutality
Speaker 1: of it all, as many, including Antonio Evangelista along with
Speaker 1: his brother Joseph, who'd made the long and arduous journey
Speaker 1: from Italy to be there, wept openly inside. With the
Speaker 1: church having been filled up long before the service began.
Speaker 1: The mourners stood as the six caskets were wheeled inside
Speaker 1: and placed in single file, running all the way down
Speaker 1: to the transept. As Father Beccarini led the solemn requiem mass,
Speaker 1: many had to be helped from the building, having become
Speaker 1: so overwhelmed with grief. Meanwhile, throughout the out a number
Speaker 1: of plainclothed police officers kept a watchful eye on the
Speaker 1: proceedings for any hint that the murderer might be among them.
Speaker 1: One man immediately caught their attention, who was seen arriving
Speaker 1: alone at the church by bike, wearing a battered hat
Speaker 1: and a well worn suit. After deciding the man, John Ryan,
Speaker 1: had been acting strangely, officers took him in for questioning. However,
Speaker 1: the man, who was later judged to have been suffering
Speaker 1: from psychiatric problems and who weighed barely ninety pounds, was
Speaker 1: quickly released. Later that afternoon, the six bodies of the
Speaker 1: evangelist family were taken to Mount Olivet Cemetery and laid
Speaker 1: to rest. After the funeral, Detroit Police held a press
Speaker 1: conference to appeal for witnesses, in particular anyone who might
Speaker 1: have been walking by the house at the time of
Speaker 1: the murders to and forward. With no further tangible clues
Speaker 1: aside from the bloody Prince, the police began the arduous
Speaker 1: task of pouring through the family's possessions in search of
Speaker 1: a lead, having also at first been looking for an
Speaker 1: axe as the murder weapon. Doctor Paul Clever, the Wayne
Speaker 1: County coroner, who examined the bodies, concluded it was in
Speaker 1: fact a sharp knife and not an axe, that they
Speaker 1: should be looking for. Self styled human engineer and astrologer
Speaker 1: Clark Robson, having consulted his astrological charts, gave his opinion
Speaker 1: to the press, stating that the police needn't worry too much, since,
Speaker 1: with mercury and uranus being fifty degrees apart, the killer,
Speaker 1: who he judged to be a man of less than
Speaker 1: medium height with a dark complexion, was also a show
Speaker 1: off and would shortly confess to the crime to gain notoriety.
Speaker 1: Robson also suggested that Benny, evangelist, who he claimed on
Speaker 1: looking at his horoscope, was large driven by his desire
Speaker 1: for money, had known his death was coming, and that
Speaker 1: despite what the police had said, it was in fact
Speaker 1: a dispute over money that led to his and his
Speaker 1: family's murder. It was some point around the time of
Speaker 1: the funeral, with investigators trawling through Benny's personal letters, that
Speaker 1: they uncovered something unusual, a series of letters sent to
Speaker 1: Benny demanding money, and though no threat was explicitly made,
Speaker 1: it was more than implicit, not least because the letters
Speaker 1: had been signed simply the Black Hand. Though not much
Speaker 1: was known about the exact nature of the Black Hand
Speaker 1: at the time, the organization is thought to have originated
Speaker 1: in Napoli sometime in the eighteenth century. In nineteen oh seven,
Speaker 1: a black Hand training camp was discovered in Hillsville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: While many proponents of the organization appeared to be active
Speaker 1: in most Italian communities of major cities on both sides
Speaker 1: of the country, many police departments within the corresponding cities
Speaker 1: had even established special Blackhand units to combat them, and
Speaker 1: so it seemed finally the police had the lead they've
Speaker 1: been looking for. Surely, now solving the murders would only
Speaker 1: be a matter of time. You're listening to Unexplained, Season five,
