A 26-year-old man was accused of killing a woman in Texas by cutting off her toes, fingers, and both ears as part of a satanic ritual.
Man Performs a Satanic Ritual
Ethan Myers, a 26-year-old man in Texas, performed a Satanic ritual on Sarah Hopson, a 36-year-old woman. He allegedly cut off her toes, fingers, and ears. According to a published report, authorities found the woman’s body in the victim’s house.
The Shelby County Office released a press release on Sunday, Nov.13, stating that deputies performed a welfare check, but when they arrived at County Road 3625 they found Sarah Hopson’s body.
In an arrest affidavit obtained by a news outlet, Allen Price and Teresa Louviere told the Sheriff’s office “Ethan Myers had done something to Sarah Hopson” because they had not seen the victim since the previous day and believed Myers was acting strangely.”
Meanwhile, when the deputies made a search inside the home, they found the victim wrapped in carpet with large wounds to the right side of her head and forehead. Authorities who made the search added that the victim’s toes, fingers, and ears were also found in a clear freezer bag placed between her legs.
