About this listen

The brutal murder of Kimberly Cates garnered national attention in the U.S. due to its shocking brutality, randomness, and the young ages of the perpetrators. In October 2009, Steven Spader (17) and Christopher Gribble (19) invaded a home in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, killing Kimberly Cates and severely injuring her 11-year-old daughter with a machete. Spader led an initiation ritual for his self-formed group, "The Disciples of Destruction." Both perpetrators were sentenced to life in prison without parole. Two accomplices received lengthy prison terms.
