John Paul Ranieri by all accounts showed up in the Son of Sam drama after the theater had closed so to speak in 1992. Brother John makes his entrance complete with leather jacket, mullet and Jimi Hendrix hat with plume at approx. Time 25:55 in episode 4 of the Joshua Zeman documentary. He makes claims of being drugged, raped and initiated into the cult at age 14 in Untermyer Park after being lured there by John Carr. Brother John's tale then tells of being involved in a child prostitution ring of some sort for the next three years. This presents us with problem number one and two concerning Brother John.
Ranieri attended Sacred Heart Catholic High School with John Carr for one year, both were 14 and freshman. Carr would get expelled for unknown reasons and finish his high school education at Gorton High. I don't doubt Ranieri knew Carr, I don't even doubt that they knew each other for their entire school career as Sacred Heart is K-12. I don't doubt that he was sexually abused in some way especially in light of what we know has occurred at other Catholic Schools in those days. I do doubt however the likelihood of Ranieri's involvement in any way with the cult and/or involvement with a child prostitution ring, particularly a cult run child prostitution ring. When did the three years begin? When did it end? The possibility that he was a child prostitute while attending Catholic High School and graduating doesn't really add up to me. Combined with the drugs and cult activity any teenager would be a basket-case in no time. I'm not buying it.
He also claims to have escaped the prostitution ring and any further activity with the cult by simply moving across town so to speak in 1968. HE WAS 21 OR 22 BY THEN. It just doesn't ring true of a child sex slave.
His next entry is an alleged meeting with John Carr in 1973, at which time Carr informs Ranieri that He (Carr) must commit human sacrifice to advance any further in the Untermyer Park cult group. Carr supposedly explained a new element had taken the group in a different direction and that a pyramid structure of authority existed in which taking human life was the way to advance. He said he believed John Carr was a liaison between the regular membership of the cult and the leaders. Problem number three and four concerning Brother John's story.
JOHN CARR WAS IN THE USAF FROM 1966-1976. If the meeting between Carr and Ranieri did happen in 1973, it had to have occurred when Carr was back in Yonkers on leave: but remember Ranieri claims to have stopped going to Yonkers after 1968.
John Carr was 18 when he joined the USAF and wasn't discharged until the day before his 30th birthday on October 12,1976. Is it likely that John Carr would just waltz back into a leadership or liaison role after being absent from the cult for eleven years? NO.
Ranieri conveniently makes his exit from the story and New York after this mythical meeting with John Carr in 1973. He claims he was so scared he fled to Milwaukee. How convenient to leave the narrative just before David Berkowitz enters the story.
Everything about Ranieri stinks. He threw himself into the Dahmer story late in the game as well although he was a little more timely in that load of bullshit. He would also claim to have been one of the homosexuals assaulted at the famous Stonewall conflicts between gays and the NYPD. See the pattern?
