There are some very real issues within this case that keep leading me back to this being related to a group and yes, possibly even an occult related group.. Tho the pinnacle of the group is occult, some need to understand that as the group branches down and out tho, they are indirectly connected to the pinnacle group of the occult that does not mean for certain that all of its branches practice the occult.. How they come to be intertwined is through sex and drugs.. The occult branches may or may not practice occult rituals but rather are perversely connected thru groups sex and drugs.. These groups in this exact area where these cases are, are known occult groups with the most powerful and connected individuals imaginable in high positions.. These killings would by no means be the first for these type groups that are directly and indirectly tied to the occult groups that are extremely active in these areas..
Shannan's strange accounting of what happened in Oak Beach sounds eerily familiar to Melonie Holler's similar acct of *what happened to her and that she, too feared for her life that they were going to kill her.. Another wealthy elite's home, Roy Radin( he was later killed by the occult group.. Signature killing with the Bible opened to a passage pertaining directly to Radin..They have no problem killing their own to silence them or betrayal).. You can google Melonie Holler's story she even pressed charges saying this group of the wealthy elite, that had direct ties with the occult had drugged her and raped her(several males) and were going to kill her.. Sound familiar??
It did to me.. Many thought she was a crazy, drugged up floozy and didn't want to believe her.. Much later after Radin's death they even found video of what she'd claimed was absolutely true..
I believe that it's possible that several in OB are in such a group brought together by their sexual fetishes and perversions, along with drugs.. Not necessarily are they practicing the occult themselves but they intertwined with the very real, very much still alive and thriving occult groups that have inhabited these exact areas for literal decades..
IMO a very real possibility that some, any, or all of these murders will be directly/indirectly tied to the occult..
** believe me I realize that many may not agree and find this possibility to be rather "fantastical" than actually a real and plausible possibility.. And that is fine.. As I always say to each their own..**
