Glenn Taylor Helzer: Children of Thunder
3 June 2014 | by a_baronSee all my reviews

California may just be not only the serial killer capital of the world but the weird killer capital too, for not only did the Golden State spawn the Manson Murders but Glenn Taylor Helzer and his Children Of Thunder.

This is one of those stories you couldn't make up, and here Aphrodite Jones with a little help from her friends relates the tale of the Mormon Missionary who thought he was doing God's work, so after becoming a stockbroker and starting an escort service with a "Playboy" model murdered five people, chopped them up and...uh, you don't wanna know. Best not to mention either what he fed to the dog.

This programme contains graphic descriptions but not much by way of graphic action, which gentle souls like yourself should find comforting. Helzer was sentenced to death as was his brother, who hanged himself in his prison cell last year. The third member of the unholy trio was Dawn Godman, who received a 37 year sentence – plenty of time to allow her to lose some of that excess weight she has been carrying around.
