http://bloodonthealtar.tripod.com/ARLISMRA.HTM The ritualistic murder Of Mrs. Arlis Perry
By: Andrew L. Nichols
Back in 1974, in a lonely church on the campus of Stanford
University, the young wife of Bruce Perry was murdered in a
ritualistic fashion. The fact that the murder happened in a
church was terrible enough, but coupled with the fact the
murder was the result of a ritual performed made it even
worse. Author Maury Terry in his book entitled, “The
Ultimate Evil,” ties this murder to both the Son of Sam
(David Berkowitz) slayings, and also the (Charlie) Manson
“Family” murders. Was the murder of Arlis Perry, indeed the
work of some Satanic cult, as Author Terry supposes?
Arlis was a student at Stanford University, and a committed
Evangelical Christian. She had no qualms about witnessing
for the Lord. She would witness about her faith to everyone.
No one was immune from her Gospel; the Gospel of Hope, and
the Gospel of Peace. Back in her hometown of Minot, ND, she
even wtinessed to die hard Satanists about her faith. David
Berkowitz alluded that Arlis had been followed from Minot,
ND to Stanford University, and was murdered. Author Terry
alludes that the reason she was murdered was because of such
witnessing to Satanists. Was that the case?
Arlis was the wife of Bruce Perry, who had aspirations of
becoming a Doctor. Since the murder happened almost 30 years
ago, it is highly likely Mr. Perry has already become a
Doctor. At first, the Police had thought that perhaps Bruce
was involved in the murder. They also thought that Mrs.
Perry had been victimized by some type of sexual predator,
with Satanic worship leanings. The way the body was found
clearly indicated a ritualistic styled murder. Author Terry
says that when the Police did find Arlis in the church, that
they quickly deduced that her muder was indeed a ritual. Was
Arlis Pre-Chosen by Satanists for ritualistic murder? Or was
she a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?
The body, the way it was laid out was in a ritualistic
fashion. (NOTE: This part is a little graphic, so if you
have a weak stomach, you better skip over this part!) The
body was naked from the waste down. The legs were spread
wide apart. Her jeans were spread apart, across her calfs,
going in the opposite direction. Author Terry says that the
whole set up of her body was decidedly a "Diamond Pattern."
The left breast of her blouse had been torn open, and the
breast was exposed. Her hands were laid carefully between
her breasts, with an altar candle between her hands. To
complete the Desecration, another altar candle had been
forced into her vagina. Remember: All this happened in a
church. She had been tortured, and abused, but that wasn't
what caused her death. What caused her death is an ice pick
had been forced into her skull, just behind the left ear.
This was truly a heinous crime!
