Joseph was adopted into an extremely abusive couple\u2019s home as a baby and it was all downhill from there. As he went on to have children of his own, and grow more deranged, he told his 13 year old son, Michael, God had ordered him to kill people. God also demanded him, he said, to cut off the penises of little boys. Joseph asked his 13 year old son if he wanted to go on this \u201cdivine mission\u201d with him and the little boy, Michael, enthusiastically said yes. They would go on to commit some of the most heinous crimes, murdering two children and one adult along the way.
