Meanwhile, Michael Carson spent much of his life searching for a cause to give his life meaning. So when the two mad and nineteen seventy seven. It felt like destiny, and told Michael that God had gifted her with visions amounting to divine instruction. However,

Her psychic ability was actually a symptom of what experts suspect was undiagnosed schizophrenia, in any case, Suzanne interpretation of these visions, as heavens, and messages suggests desperation to reclaim control and a sense of power, rather than anything, truly divine. Vanessa is going to take over Emma psychology here and throughout the episode. Please note that It is not a licence psychologist or a psychiatrist, but she has done lot of research for the show, thanks Gregg since China hood Suzanne, so called visions caused her to draw and feel isolated from society as an adult old Suzanne invented form of religion, bra her sense of control and meaning and its Likely she wanted to grow her influence over others as well, in a study published in the Journal of Social issues. Researcher Erin, K and Richard. I bog found that people were. Extreme ideologies of external control such

Religious fundamentalism are motivated by a desire for personal control and a feeling that the world makes sense so Suzanne extreme ideological fantasies perhaps reflected a desperate need to feel control over her chaotic mind, oddly, it seems that her paranoia about witches and an approaching final war, have allowed her to feel powerful at last and when Michael, readily bought into the scheme. She found her true purpose as lead. Her susan is too little time abusing her newfound power over her lover in early eighteen, eighty one she ordered thirty year old, Michael to murder, their friend Karen Barnes, telling him Karen was the most powerful which in San Francisco in reality, Karen's murder was motivated by thirty nine year old, Suzanne Jealousy but eager to be rid of the flirtation twenty three year old, Susan Old, Michael, it was their duty to kill her.

They were warriors of God. After all, and this was was commanded of them. After bridge we bludgeoning and stabbing Karen together. They knew it was to leave the city gods and warriors are not neither wanted to answer for their crimes, so they hitchhiked north actually, they made their way to Southern Oregon, but with no money and few job prospects. They ventured into the woods hoping to find shelter. After wandering aimlessly for a while, they delighted to find a vacant cabin to Suzanne and Michael decrepit? Filthy shack was a wholly home, blessed by God surrounded by nature. They had everything they needed their healthy stash of drugs and each other Peaceful. Therefore, while but before long Michael, grew anxious about police tracking them down further this time it seems Michael questioned whether there half baked religious quest to rid the world

of witches, was worth going to prison for, Suzanne dismissed his trepidation in sitting that all law would guide them through what ever life through with them. Her visions stronger now and for good reason. Only when she surrounded by the glory of God's creation, she was also ingesting a decent amount of marijuana and hallucinogenic drugs. These strong vision, cemented, Suzanne conviction. Their cause was righteous. In their minds, Suzanne and Michael, were bona fide which hunters task with starting a world ending Holy WAR, though it was clear. They accomplish neither goal languishing in the woods of Oregon, but before they could go anywhere needed to decide on a plan, they wouldn't spark apocalypse

spy killing one or two loan, which is usually it was Suzanne who pointed out the world's evils to Michael whenever God, given gifts, she insisted was the ability to sense witches. But after four years together, Michael picked up some tricks of his own and zeroed in other next target. Having read the book of Revelation Michael, was convinced that their ultimate enemy was the devil them stir of witches also knew that the devil's earthly symbol was six, six six and EU that knowledge to deduce that the newly elected President Ronald Reagan was the devil walking among them Reagan had to die Michael declared and it was his destiny to take him down further displaying her uncanny gift for oppressions. Suzanne told Michael that her vision supported his quest. It was foretold, it seems Suzanne direct line to God was fuzzy because

Michael wasn't destined to assassinate President Reagan. He The only one who had the idea, though in March, of nineteen eighty one when We saw that another man, John Hinkley Junior, failed in his attempt to kill the president. He was outrage but while her husband stewed over the botched attempt and the president's life Suzanne had other things in her mind after in the woods they were out of money, food and weed, and, as ever, was Michael's duty to solve Susan's problems so he decided that LOS Angeles would be the best place for him to go there. He could get supplies that would sustain them for the coming conflict and for Suzanne dismissed the plan, not why let Michael out of her sight, but she was. Was to admit there wasn't another logical solution, but, as he pact for the job Michael worried over the distinct lack of food ever Suzanne had an answer. Courtesy of her visions sheets,

clean that her diminish supplies were assigned from God that she was to endure a great battle. Twelve Michael was away. It would be a wholly experience. Bolstered by Susan's faith, my all set out intending return with food and a renewed vigour for his duty, hitching I'd south. He made it to LOS Angeles in May of nineteen. Eighty one and me be line for Venice Beach, which was known for its hippy population and abundance of drugs, though he said four allay with a clear goal of bringing supplies back to Suzanne Michael got sidetracked out her guidance, so instead of gathering, food and drugs to take back to Oregon. He stole paper and markers to make signs alerting the world to the evils of Ronald Reagan, wanting to pay

and one clear, unified message, Michael also defaced, the Venice Beach public restrooms, with phrases like revolution now, death to Reagan and allow Oc Bar Arabic for a guy is the greatest, he then and hung the signs in areas popular with tourists. Perhaps hoping they would help spread his message around the world while slapping posters, up around Venice Michael felt, inspiration to strike, and he gathered we're scraps of paper to keep track of his thoughts. For long. He was writing a treatise on his and Susan's mission in his scribbles he condemned President Reagan and his administration as well religions. He thought had too much power as a result of deals with the devil ass, he wrote, Michael realised. What is true, destiny was too proselytize to the world and make them see the truth, he would

hold Suzanne up as the prophet. He knew her to be caught up in his new found, calling with several days before Michael remembered, his wife was starving in the woods he been gone for over a week and even though God had ordered the fast, it was still along I am to be without food panicked. He started nor along the way he dug through dumpsters picking through trash for scraps, to bring back to his wife. Back in the cabin Suzanne was on the verge of starvation, the lack of food would plunge her into a delusional state which she and carpeted as an intensification of her psychic visions, but things she saw were in dead. All pleasant in the dark so the woods. The devil and his servants have visited Suzanne toying with her already tenuous, gripped, sanity, ghosts which is appeared to torment her before the dumb, himself arrived to possess the thirty nine year old. By that

Michael returned two weeks after he left Susan was shouting incoherently screaming, people and monsters he couldn't see, but with some food, came back to reality and the couple shared their recent experiences with each other Michael, was excited to share his new found, calling with Suzanne and filled hurry and on his plan to evangelize Islam throughout LOS Angeles and hopeful. The world all good, religions needed Ascribe he told her and he was theirs. He was committed to the task of writing and distributing a manifesto that would surely change the world. This is what would last in sight, the Holy WAR, he declared their mission hunting, which has remained unchanged but now new. They needed to preach their message as they went. It was also clear. It was the clarity of purpose. The couple lacked until that moment, and it propelled them forward with a fresh supply of

Eighty one thirty nine year old, Suzanne and thirty year old, Michael Bear Carson, were living a relatively quiet life in Oregon, sheltering in a battered shack in the states south they bided their time. Thinking long and hard about the war Suzanne prophesied, it's possible, the pair might have faded into obscurity wasting away in the woods. While Michael wrote a rambling document about their religion, but as they living in a home that didn't belong to them. It was only a matter

time before they had to leave, and in the summer of nineteen eighty one Suzanne and Michael received a sign from God that it was time to move on. That's and came in the form of a park ranger ordering them off the land, proving that Oh God was in no way subtle, so taking the hint from above, but couple pack, their things and hitchhiked to this West, since their only source of income, was selling we'd Suzanne had Michael visit, their we'd growing acquaintances in northern California. He begged them stash to take on their journey promising he'd pay them back late, then, in the latter half of nineteen eighty one, the couple travelled through Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado selling marijuana, while Michael worked on his manifesto Michael wrote down, everything he knew about their religion, which, mostly came from Suzanne so

The fledgling text included descriptions of Susan's visions and her instructions on how to best kill witches, as well as ramblings about the current world order, world CUP Mintz and religions, were under the control of the devil. Michael wrote, The only way to effect change was through holy war and apocalypse the apocalypse the pair decided would come in the form of a nuclear holocaust, so the book acted as an instructional taxed on how to set off that event. Mostly the instructions took the form of a list of assassination targets whose death would surely trigger a massive, the world war. The lineup included British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul, the second late night, used Johnny, Carson and, of course, President Ronald Reagan, Michael and Suzanne zeroed in on those targets, because they believe them to be at odds with their religious agenda. The familiar move that many religious fundamentalists and terrorists have used to draw

I've engagement to their ideals in nickel in the political psychology journal, Doktor Van make O Connor argues that people develop their sense of self, relation to their perceived enemies and allies. The more that apply. And feels their political or religious beliefs are being threatened, the more they'll think saved on their enemies by calling for the elimination of world leaders and other prominent figures, it's possible that Michael and Suzanne hoped to defend their beliefs, consolidate their power and spread their ideas even further than again It is also possible that the pair word possessed of the four thought needed for that kind of planning. Maybe they just making things up as they went along the resounding calls to action, rounding up their vision them pesto, was complete around this in time and early nineteen. Eighty two percent out of money and decided that the best to do was to head back to California copy

of their manuscript under their arms, along with seeking converts to their way of thinking. The pair were on the and for a new income source and had been their habit for the past year. They likely followed the drug supply chain, hoping to kill two birds with one stone hitchhiking through California, they were picked up by local driver who kindly offer them a place to stay and his property. The man Patrick enjoyed the couples company so much that he agreed to take marijuana in lieu of rent deep in the woods the tree house, who had near makeshift structures and tents in something of a commune. Michael and Suzanne were delighted with the set up. Not only did they have a play, to stay but Patrick like an ideal new disciple, if they could bring him into the fold when he dropped them off the cabin invited him to stay awhile and enjoy the evening about that night. S

three aid and smoked around the fire. Suzanne felt a shift, Patrick she decided was getting too close for comfort. Just my care, he was trying to come between her and Michael and she couldn't allow that to happen. She abandoned her plans to convert Patrick and instead become aggressive towards their friendly host. She screw, get him to leave them alone order. Him off his own property bewildered by her behaviour. Michael S Suzanne. What was wrong? That was when she told them the truth. Patrick was a witch the next morning, Patrick returned to tell his guests to leave, but as they'd already given in payment for their month Glenn Suzanne refused after Suzanne Erratic behaviour, it seems likely. Patrick, was too scared to press the issue, so make allowances and state on for a couple of weeks and settled into the Corky community. In the woods they peddled the lasted there.

We'd to the locals in exchange for other essentials, but didn't make any friends Suzanne was Just to aggressive and bizarre, like all away Susan's aggression stem from her paranoid belief that evil was all around her during the time living in the big Sir Woods she confided in Michael everywhere around them was a which. So, when Patrick and a friend of his, returned to order them to leave. They didn't put up much resistance surrounded by servants of the devil. They could never be happy here. They laughed but plan to come back the next day, Michael and Suzanne, used what little money they had to buy supplies from a gas station. Gasoline rags and soda bottles dingy motel room. They made molotov cocktails and read themselves to burn the witches in the fading light. The pair returned to the woods moving quietly through the brush,

It was dark by the time they made it to the cabin, but it wouldn't be for long Michael lit the first bomb and tossed it at the tree house within seconds flame dance through the wooden structure, while Suzanne cackled with delight there now target was Patrick's cabin, a short, walk away, frustrated The door was locked, so he couldn't get in to rob the place Michael set fire. To the cabins porch and moved on, as he won through the trees he stopped into an empty, tent and poked around inside. He fell the thirty eight caliber pistol and pocketed it satisfied with the carnage Michael and Suzanne retreated tossing one last bomb into the tent of a particularly nasty which they were proud of our efforts. Should they had said a great blow as warriors of God, was sure to send a signal to which is along the coast and skilled huh. Her eyes were on their tails, but in reality, Michael answers

didn't managed to harm anyone with their sneak attack. The fires destroyed some structures on Patrick Property, but no people which is or otherwise were hurt so Competent they were on the right path. Michael and Suzanne continued their journey through California actually arriving in Humboldt County in the spring of nineteen. Eighty to the area was populated with doomsday papers and more than a few marijuana plantations, which seemed like a perfect fit for the bare Carson's in this peaceful slice. Paradise. They found work and accommodation on a cannabis farm, but there were other people live and working on the property glances and didn't play well with others. The intensively in West Coast, heat shortened, everyone's fuse and the commerce were quickly at odds with all of their new colleagues. Unsurprisingly, there coworkers described the couple as lunatics and troublemakers as the pair always seemed out for a fight Suzanne too,

umbrage with the community's farming techniques and sir, killer lifestyle, as well as anything else that annoyed her Though no one seemed to like the couple they were tolerated, but things took a turn for the worse. When twenty six years, Clark Stevens arrived at the plantation clerk was afraid, the recent business partner of the farms owner and ruffled feathers as soon as he got there, predictably, Michael and Suzanne were particularly annoyed by Clark who they found. Arrogant, he was also from LOS Angeles, a city infested with witches. According to Suzanne, therefore, he represented corruption and evils of the modern world. It wasn't long four disagreements between Michael and Clark devolved into screaming matches. Unlike men the farms other workers Clark was a stubborn as Michael and refuse to back down at one stage, Clark insulted Suzanne, while her husband wasn't around which, fury hated her. She rushed to tell

Michael about Clarks, blatant disrespect, claiming by insulting a woman Clark. Spat on. There is Lomb adjacent faith. She told Michael It- was his duty to defend her honor and reminded him that gun them a gun. For this very reason, it was a test she insisted with the proper. Weapon to use against their enemy. There was no acceptable excuse for inaction, so one morning in May nineteen. Eighty two Michael stuck his pistol in the back of his genes as he headed out to work early The day the couple bumped into Clark out on the farm telling him they needed to talk, they lead. Into a secluded corner of the property when they were earshot of the rest of the workers. Michael pointed the gun at Clark excitement of the moment was too much for Suzanne who cackled and screamed your husband on he obeyed her orders and squeezed the trigger several times.

With their enemy motionless at their feet. Suzanne insisted on burning the body. It was the the way to ensure a which was really dead, prepared, however, Suzanne produced a can of kerosene and splashed it on Clarks, bloody corpse with glee. He dropped a lid match and watched the flames. Consume his flesh when the boy He would burn no longer, they cover the remains in fertilizer and turned to leave. They spent too nervous days, working as if nothing was wrong, but events their anxiety got the best of them and they packed. There are few possessions and ran a couple laid low in a nearby town that evening and when dawn came they headed for the freeway. To hit you ride, but before they could come it's a driver to give them a lift. A police car pulled up side them well,

Looking down the road somewhere in the woods of Northern California trying to decide where to go next, a police car pulled up beside them that, Cooper behind the wheel, wanted directions to a local farm. The same adaptation where they just murdered Clark, panicked but hoping to buy themselves time. The couple gave the cop incorrect directions and watched him drive off. Sirens ring sure they'd be caught if they stayed on the roads. Michael and Suzanne opted to head into the woods on foot. They camped under this hours that night, perhaps hoping the next morning would bring the perfect chance to slip away from humbled county, but to them poorer. They awoke to the sounds of authorities coming through the woods. The search party was looking for a loss tiger, but the killer couple were sure, the cops hereafter after them. Stricken man glances and bolted in different directions, not stopping to pick up their bags, desperate to escape

Suzanne ran deeper into the woods until the uniformed searchers were out of sight, while my Michael ran back toward the road within minutes, Sir dog sniffed out their discarded backpacks inside I'd investigators found marijuana bullets, a stone my d and the gambling religious manuscript, bearing the authors name Michael, Bear There was little of note in the photocopied pages, except for the extensive list of assassination targets.

Eighty two thirty one year old, Michael and forty year, old, Suzanne Carson, fought the authorities. Or hot in their tails. After a chance, counter with a search party, the to split up to make a hasty escape, but they left

The finger and pulled from the manuscript they couldn't find any Record of the tax author Michael bear it turns out Michael, never legally changed his name from James Carson. It seems he leaved Suzanne proclamation of his new name was official enough, but despite the confusion Michael's. True identity was becoming clearer across tone. A dog discovered Clark, Stevens Charred remains and police were called in. Those name came up a lot during police interviews with farms. Workers Andy quickly shot to the top of a short list of suspects. However, While investigators thought they were closing in on Clarks, murderer Mm goal was already in LOS Angeles hundred of miles from Humboldt County. He breathed easy

sure he'd escaped suspicion. He might felt relaxed as he walked through Alhambra and the city ceased, but his peace wasn't too last without worn please swarm the thirty one year old ordering him too. Hands up as you bundled into the back of a cop car Michael, felt sure it was all over somehow you found him still, he wasn't to make it easier for them. During a quick cut down, there arresting officers, somehow missed the pistol tucked into his pants thinking quickly. Michael pulled the gun out and hid it in the back of the police, cruiser once at the station he gave a fake name and paused for a photograph before he was led into an interrogation room to await questioning when detectives around to interview him at last. It was clear they had idea about Michael's actual crimes he'd been arrested in a hunt, rapes aspect able to answer Ruth fully on this point, Michael US,

his innocence of the crime, but otherwise stayed quiet. It didn't take long for the victim, to rule MIKE allowed as their attack her, then with that he was free to go realising that it was a mistake to come to allay Michael hitched around Out of the city ass, fast ass, he could, once again, the police were one step behind Michael while he is, LOS Angeles. An officer found the gun, he'd hidden in the patrol car. Realising it had been a mistake to let him go the Ellie, he D sent out a state wide all points. Bulletin they sent it out using the fake name Michael gave at the station Richard a RADA six hundred miles away in Humboldt County Offices, recognize that name from the stone I d they pulled from Michael's backpack working in tandem, the two police departments, man the ballistics from Clark Stevens, murder to Michael's gun, but by the time there results came back. Michael was, the wind. In fact,

Michael, was on his way to meet Suzanne at a pre arranged spot in Sonora about a high. Three miles: EAST of San Francisco only a week, after they made their frantic split Michael and Suzanne were reunited. It might have seemed like good time delay low and let the heat I down it's his and never met a good idea. She liked, so she insisted that our visions were signalling the beginning of the Holy war. They couldn't fear capture, she told Michael, not now that they have the chance to usher. In the end times, it seems with their recent close calls. The couple worried they'd never get the chance to complete their grand plan. They were profits. That they were sure if they were going to bring about holy war. It had to be now and if that the martyrs so be it waiting, for things to happen. Wasn't there style, so they hit the road once again,

Suzanne, psychic Compass, directed them to the city of Portland, but after Sir with a friend for a few weeks. They achieved nothing up. Note sensing the city wasn't the right place for them. The couple stole a thirty eight com. We're pistol and fled something pulled them back to Keller. Cornea by the end of nineteen. Eighty two so seven months after Clark, Stevens Murder, they returned and now after losing the gun and allay Michael's armed once more ready to pull the trigger answers, ants order as now ten eighty three dawned the couple wandered home Leslie down a highway near Bakersfield. On January, eleventh car after COM our blue right by the couple wanting nothing to do with the unwashed crazed looking pair, and That is a truck made. A sudden. You turn to head back their way when the car approached since whispered to Michael that the driver. Thirty years

John healthier was a which they needed to kill. They'd had few chances lately, but now, Allah rewarded their patients by delivering a demon write to them. Often witches whose Suzanne chose were strangers with whom they crossed paths. In this case, John, was generous offering not only to drive them to his destination of Santa Rosa but to let them crash at his friends place. Yet this act of kindness did nothing to dispel Suzanne, random hatred, so surprisingly criminals like I'll doktor Eric Hickey describes, Suzanne and Michael's crimes as such, continuous and opportunistic. Like other serial killers. They weren't predators in the traditional sense Suzanne shifting criteria for what defined a which made their attacks impossible. To anticipate and on that cool January day, something about John Hell. You're sparked Susan's vitriol. Before

even met him. She decided he had to die squeeze two Johns truck Susanna Michael weren't. Shy about berating their driver, they nit picking me the choices and driving style. Little things that irc them But when John Leg brushed against Suzanne on the seat, she knew he deserve to die, but not yet. First, the will happily accepted the offer of a place to stay, the following morning, Suzanne was ready to kill they'd, only driven a short way when her eyes flashed to Michael Way. She knew was the signed to attack he reached. Cross, the seed and yank the steering wheel hard to the right John Straw, hold to regain control of the vehicle, but put hands up. When my goal pulled out his gun, when the truck came to stop on the shoulder John leaped out in a desperate attempt to escape not willing to let them which go MIKE Suzanne gave Chase, while Michael Paine

aiming begun. A John Suzanne snuck up hide their victim pulling a knife from her back Johns eyes were still trained on the pistol in Michael's hand, Suzanne slipped the knife into his back lighted with her role on the attack, Suzanne it away, leaving Michael, clear shot, but he hesitated and John seized his chance. John ran around the car, trying to keep it between himself and his attackers for around ten minutes. The three faced each other around the truck. All the while, liquors slow to see what was happening before driving off During the stand off, Suzanne manage to stab John a few more times before Michael finally pulled the trigger with Suzanne egging him on he shut John several times by then one of them asking drivers had managed to alert police about the situation as glances and stood Gloatingly over Johns lifeless form the distance

of sirens pierced the freeway buzz hearing The cops Suzanne drag Johns body off the side of the road then rushed back the truck as soon is Michael flung himself into the passenger seat. She peeled out for her sending up a prayer that data escape capture once again, but the key were hot on their heels. They found hell years body within minutes and pull radios across the city announced that the killers driving a stolen vehicle, chase lasted the length of two counties before patrol cars. Finally closed in on the witch killers destroy by the blaring sirens and flashing lights, Suzanne lost control of the truck and crashed into a ditch, endorsed duration, Suzanne and Michael abandoned the useless car and darted into the nearby woods, however, didn't make it far past the tree line before they were at last apprehended in the after

of their arrest. The truth about Michael and Suzanne Identities came to light in addition to charge for John Hell, yours murder. They were also tied to claw Stevens laying the previous year as the case press into spring of nineteen. Eighty three citizenry is to cooperate with her lawyer or say anything at their pretrial hearings. For his part, it seems, Michael was disappointed with the lack of press attention he and Suzanne received. Perhaps he hoped arrest would draw people to their cause but he had no such luck when things did move the way he wanted. Michael, took drastic action in March of nineteen. Eighty three he brokered a deal he can to the nineteen. Eighty one murder of Karen Barnes, which police hadn't yet tied the couple to exchange. He demanded the chance to speak to the media at a press conference negotiations took weeks but terms were eventually agreed upon me

Glenn Suzanne would get their moment in the spotlight so in rule of nineteen. Eighty three journal from Santa Rosa and San Francisco gathered at the jail to attend the promise press conference. No one knew quite what to expect, but they hold There might be enough for a small story or two, but as thing God going Michael, showed no signs of letting the event and early he rambled about his ensues, ands religion, its complexities and the need for a holy war. He spoke of the evil of witches, of Sudan's psychic visions, Michael spoke, for at least six hours detailing the entire. Dear their faith and the brutal details of each murder its unclear, how much footage from the conference was released to the public, it seems the witch hunters felt they finally receive the attention they deserved. Suzanne sad, quietly next to Michael, a silent observer in the end

but she had led him to this moment. He had found cause to champion there was a perfect match. Despite their public confession, the couple pleaded not two carrots murder. When I went to trial in June nineteen, eighty four claiming self defence jury returned a guilty verdict, Michael yelled down with a queen repeatedly Meanwhile Suzanne stood up and screamed what is crime to be beautiful, to be an artist for crimes of murder, not to beauty or are Suzanne and Michael, were tried to more times and sentenced to three life sentences, each a jury of appears, declared them guilty, but that wasn't it to convince the killer couple. They were wrong. Bear plan to rid the of evil was just they maintained. It was right, it was God's, will but it seems more likely that their God

wheeled Suzanne and Michael to die behind bars. They remain in their separate prisons. To this day, she has no one to lead.
