Trina Denise Avery was 15 when she was murdered on April 17, 1989, in Willoughby, Ohio. She was killed alongside her parents, Dennis and Cheryl Avery, and her siblings Rebecca Lynn Avery and Karen Diane Avery after the family was invited to the home of cult leader Jeffrey Lundgren and led one by one to a barn where the killings occurred.

Jeffrey Lundgren led a breakaway sect of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and believed the end of the world was imminent, asserting that sacrifices were necessary. Lundgren was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death; his wife Alice Lundgren and several followers were implicated and received various sentences for their roles. The crime exposed the extent of Lundgren’s control over his followers and received significant media attention.

Does anyone have memories of the Avery family or information about the group that could shed more light on how this tragedy unfolded?
