Summary: Satanic panic. A phrase that was wide spread during the 1980s. But where did it start? And how did Satanism factor into Tina's case? A number of factors contributed to the increased interest in, and fear of, the occult during the late 1960s and 1970s. Early in this investigation I found a long and wild blog that was written about Tina. It was from an author by the name of Frater Barrabbas. A self described author, witch, practitioner of ritual magick, past member of the OTO, Gnostic Bishop, founder of Order of the Gnostic Star, musician, artist, ritual ordeal craftmaster. He claims to have known Tina, and her friends. He makes some other wild claims. Since Frater is an author, a real published author, one has to wonder how much of his work is true and how much he embellished. I wanted to ask him some questions, such as..What could Frater have done to the killer with his magick skills? Can he use his magick against me for questioning him on this podcast? Did she seek him out for his powerful witch magick? Did she know that evil forces were after her and he was the only one who could protect her? Did Tina give him a description of what the killer looked like? Where was he on the night of March 26th, 1973? Between the hours of 8pm and Midnight? I reached out to Frater, and the conversation was, well... interesting.... www.searchingforclosure.com
