Despite sharing 2/3rds of a name with rock legend Gene SImmons, the two couldn't be further apart. One worshipped demons, one was a rock god, and one had a tongue that legends were made of; the other, well, he was a straight up demon, a vessel for pure evil, a man who killed 16 people, including his entire immediate family. Yeah, so buckle up for a fun one this week. I mean, they're all fun, aren't they?
Richard Gene Simmons was a US citizen who excelled while being a member of the military in more than one role. He was a decorated soldier, and from all accounts did well for himself while enlisted. However, something changed when he retired from the military. Perhaps its the highscool syndrome, you know the jocks who peak at 17 then it's all downhill from there? Yeah, I'm thinking Simmons peaked in the military and didn't know what to do when he got out. He worked a string of low paying jobs, a couple from which he was fired. Maybe it was all the stress from being fired and a failure, or maybe it was the fact he fathered a child with his own daughter - yeah, that happened - that set him off.
But the fateful December of 1987, Simmons killed his entire family before going after all those who wronged him. There are some terrible and gruesome details that you can only get by listening to the episode, so... Listen!
