New Hook Death?

You are seeing some of the revelation of the method, the heightened awareness brought to us in the brilliant and successful HBO series True Detective, which mixes the discovery of a ritualistic killer or group of killers and the abuse and murders of young people. (But this posting is not about the show and contains no spoilers.)

As I first reported here in 2010, in The Peter Pan/Hook Deaths, there seems to be taking place several underground child homicides, labeled as suicides and suicide attempts.

"I do not know how to find out anything new without being offensive." ~ Charles Fort

While I fully understand and am skeptical of all of this myself, as it all is beyond belief, I must point out a few things. I extensively studied and worked in the field of suicide for over 30 years, writing the first book to actually look at modern suicide clusters. Next, child suicides do exist, unfortunately, and kids under ten do take their own lives, usually by hanging. But also, we must be aware that there are some rather creepy pedophiles out there, who work in groups, and get jobs in schools, for example, that are filled with emotionally damaged and poor kids to supply their membership with fodder. 

The real "Peter Pan/Hook" incidents, if that's what's really occurring, evidence themselves in a series of relatively unexplained child deaths and near deaths. As I wrote in 2010, "These have been lexilinked by twilight names (Montana, Aquan, Imhotep; Chatham-Chatham), bizarre pedophilia hints (under investigation), and the common factor that the children were found hanged, often on a coat hook, often in bathrooms." These include cloakrooms at schools and youth areas in churches/libraries (where children should feel the safest).

Now word comes of a death which may be another record of one of these "hook" deaths, from Louisiana. In a spooky shadow of True Detective, the show's locale is Louisiana, and via other details for those who view the program.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune published the following on February 22 (updated February 24), 2014:

A sixth grader from St. Jean Vianney Catholic School in East Baton Rouge Parish has died by suicide.
The student, Ethan Rider, was found unconscious in a bathroom at the school on Thursday [Feb 20] and taken to a local hospital, and died early Saturday [Feb 22] morning, according to statements on the school’s website. The coroner’s office confirmed Friday [Feb 21], before Ethan passed away, that it was an apparent suicide.

Reports from locals indicate that the possible hanging was in the school bathroom.

Baton Rouge-Lafayette overlaps with the True Detective film sites. No need to go over the significance of the Fayette Factor. As to Baton Rouge, the Choctaw/Itta Homma name comes from the "red stick" placed at the border between two rival tribal groups.

Ethan, from the Hebrew, means "solid, enduring." Rider generally is referenced as "horseman" (in the Year of the Horse, it should be pointed out).

His middle name, Zane, means "gift from God." Our sincere condolences to the family.

Ethan Zane Rider's school was named for St. Jean Vianney (May 8, 1786 - August 4, 1859), who first established a school, and went on to be known for his priestly and pastoral work in his parish. All visages of him are rather bizarre because apparently the only know representation of St. Jean Vianney is from his death mask.

Who knows what or if any of this means anything? But the data is there. It should not be ignored.

"The tendency that I point out is that of so often rejecting both data and an explanation, simply because one rejects the explanation." ~ Charles Fort

Let me list some of the "hook" deaths, chronologically, which I first mentioned in 2010:

2. Unnamed youth ~ Kanpur (old English Cawnpore), India; February 20, 2009; hanged from the hook of the toilet in a train; deceased.

3. Unnamed girl ~ South Side Chicago, Illinois; February 20, 2009; hanged on a clothes hook in home closet; deceased.
4. Unnamed boy ~ Chatham, Illinois; February 4, 2009; hanged by hook; deceased.
5. Aquan Lewis ~ Evanston, Illinois; February 3, 2009; hanged on a school bathroom hook; deceased.

10. Unnamed child ~ Chatham, Ontario; 1998; hanged from a hook in school bathroom; deceased.

Is there a Peter Pan cult working underground? We need a few good true detectives.

I, again, share this comment on my original work:

As for the Peter Pan connection, study the symbolism of Peter Pan as 'the boy who wouldn't grow up' and his gang of 'lost boys' who were 'forgotten by their parents'. The hooks were these tragic children were found hanging from, a reference to Peter Pan's arch nemesis Captain Hook.
J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, lets him say this about death: "To die will be an awfully big adventure". One author, Kevin Orlin Johnson, has argued that the Pan stories are in the German-English tradition of the Totenkindergeschichte, the "tales of dead children".
And then there is Peter Pan's mythical realm Neverland, the name also given to Michael Jackson's ranch which, as some allege, is a place where one of the darkest kinds of violence against children was been performed. ~ Theo Paijmans.

J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, technically at 4 ft 10 in tall (question sources that promote an over five ft height), was a dwarf (which had a psychological impact on him). His child molestation-oriented letters and writings have often been overlooked, hidden, and suppressed. The overt story of Peter Pan gives clear hints of the deeper disturbing nature of the author and his followers.

The "Peter Pan" name has sinister links to a modern subculture of child maltreatment and sexual abuse in this country.

Oh, one more creepy factoid: Richard Ramirez was called the "Night Stalker," and an avowed Satanist. On August 18, 1985, moving his serial killing from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Ramirez entered the home of Peter Pan, aged sixty-six, and killed the sleeping man with a gunshot to his temple from a .25 caliber handgun. Pan's wife, Barbara, 62, was beaten and sexually violated before being shot in the head and left for dead. At the crime scene Ramirez used lipstick to scrawl a pentagram and the phrase "Jack the Knife" on the bedroom wall.
