Roderrick Justin "Rod" Ferrell is an American murderer and cult leader. He was a member of a loose-knit gang of teenagers from Murray, Kentucky, known as the "Vampire Clan". Ferrell claimed to be a 500-year-old vampire named Vesago, a character he created for himself after becoming obsessed with the role playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. It was his mother, Sondra Gibson who first introduced this game to Rod. In 1998, Ferrell pleaded guilty to the double slaying of a couple from Eustis, Florida, becoming the youngest person in Florida on Death Row at that time. Originally sentenced to death, Ferrell's penalty has since been reduced to life imprisonment.
On November 25, 1996, Naomi Ruth Queen and Richard Wendorf were found by their daughter Jennifer Wendorf, beaten to death in their Eustis home. While 49-year-old Richard Wendorf was asleep on his couch and Ruth was in the shower, Ferrell and accomplice Howard Scott Anderson had entered the home through the unlocked garage, picking up the murder weapon, a crowbar. Before Richard had even awakened, Ferrell beat him multiple times with it, fracturing both his skull and ribs, almost instantly knocking him out, and killing him shortly thereafter. When Ruth had found Ferrell and Anderson in the home moments later, Ferrell bludgeoned her to death, bashing her head with the crowbar. He claimed in his confession, however, that in his original plan he was going to allow Naomi Ruth to live, but she first attacked him by lunging at him and throwing a very hot cup of coffee on him, which angered him and made him change his mind and so he killed her also. Richard had burn marks in the shape of a V. It was said that the V was Ferrell's symbol, which he accompanied with a dot for each person he considered to be in his vampire cult.
The victims were the parents of Heather Wendorf, a long-time friend of Rod's whom he was helping to run away from a home that she described as "hell". Heather and the other girls that were with Ferrell and Anderson were not at the Wendorf home when the murders took place. Charity Keesee and her friend Dana Cooper had driven Heather to her boyfriend's apartment so Heather could say good-bye before leaving for New Orleans, leaving Roderrick and Scott outside the Wendorf home.
After four days of driving through four states, the group was found in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is believed that Ferrell liked a video arcade in New Orleans, and they were headed there. One of the girls, Charity Keesee, placed a call to her grandmother in South Dakota. The group needed money, and Charity thought her grandmother could help them. However, Keesee's grandmother informed the police about her whereabouts and helped them trick Ferrell, Wendorf, and the rest of the teens into going to a local Howard Johnson's hotel, where they were arrested by waiting law enforcement. The four were held at a Baton Rouge jail for a week before being extradited back to Florida, where they were initially booked at the Lake County Jail. They were later moved to a juvenile facility in Ocala.
Judge Jerry T. Lockett sentenced Ferrell to death. Charity Keesee was convicted of two counts of third-degree murder, robbery with a gun or deadly weapon and burglary armed with a weapon or explosives. She was sentenced to 10.5 years in state prison. Dana Cooper was convicted of those charges as well, but was given a 17.5 year prison sentence. Anderson was convicted of the same charges as Ferrell and was sentenced to life in prison.
In December 2018, Howard Scott Anderson was resentenced by circuit judge Don Briggs to 40 years in prison. Anderson was given credit for the 22 years he has already served with him first being eligible for release in 2031.
Ruth Wendorf's relatives attended Anderson's re-sentencing hearing and did not oppose his early release. Speaking with the Daily Commercial, they said they are more concerned about Ferrell who was scheduled to face his own re-sentencing hearing in July 2019. Ferrell's resentencing hearing was then moved to November 18 and then again to April 2020 and the sentencing judge upheld his life without parole sentence and deemed him irreparably corrupt. Anderson is currently incarcerated in the Calhoun Correctional Institution while Ferrell is currently incarcerated in the Northwest Florida Reception Center Annex.

Thanks again @scottontape for letting me assist you in telling this story! RIP Rick and Ruth!
You’re the best Sean thank you!
@@SCOTTONTAPEAnytime! It’s always a pleasure to film and learn from you!
❤ to the victims,how appalling. Very sad teenagers+ hormones + drugs... lethal. Great hook up guys lets see some more.
You Both Did Great
Thank You Both For Making it a Little Easier to hear this horrific story with all your graciousness and respect
Great Video
@@Sam.IAM2 thank you!
I'm speechless.What a terrible crime. How can you murder two innocent people. Thank you Scott for telling this story. May Rick and Ruth rest in peace 💞
Thank you for watching this story!
In their dark minds, it was an offering...a sacrifice.
@@goldentickettohistory108 you did a great job. 💞
Never heard of this horrible and senseless crime. Thanx for telling this story with the utmost of respect. RIP RICK AND RUTH😢
Thank you! It was and remains to be tragic! Appreciate the kind words .
What a horrible crime, i only see evil in that man's face. Awesome job telling this story with Sean. I loved your hat!!! ❤
Thanks for watching!
I remember this story. The kids not a vampire but is a real life monster. Just so sad. Rest in peace Ruth and Rick. They didn’t deserve to die that way.
Agreed! Thank you for watching !
The kids were ate up in the head vampires were never real rip 🙏
I grew up in Central Florida ages ago, and have unfortunately too many friends buried in that cemetery. This one made me cry because it's so close to home.
It is definitely difficult to cover stories like these, especially when they happen so close to home.
I remember seeing this case on an episode of Killer Kids. What a fantastic job Sean did providing so much information about this case. Appreciate you both for your time and paying respects at the parents graves. Take care.
Thank you very much Nicky! It is definitely a lot of information to remember and it is definitely difficult to pull it all from memory… which we tend to do. Maybe one Day I will use note cards… but that is not really my style. Thanks again!
I remember this story. It's just mind-blowing how gullible people are to believe someone is a vampire, a god, etc. RIP to the mom and dad.
I've learned to never underestimate people's capacity to be stupid and gullible.
Yep, just look at Lori Vallow and her "zombie" children. Every time I think people can't surprise me anymore, I'm proved wrong 😕
@@controlZchannelor crazy😅
@@alison__16yes it's sad. And they said the old Saturday morning cartoons were violent. Seems to me violence went up after they removed GOOD Saturday mornings
Mental illness is a real thing unfortunately
Scott, Thank you for sharing this video. I never knew about this horrific story.
Thanks for watching. The story was and is a tragedy.
Such a sad horrible story!! RIP to the parents that were murdered!! So senseless!! Thank you Scott for your amazing story! Thank you to your friend also!! Bless you!! 🥰🥰💖💖🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️😢😢😢
Truly disturbing, I never heard about this horrific and senseless crime until watching this video. You did a great job with Shawn explaining this crime to us. Thanks for sharing this. RIP Rick & Ruth 🙏🕊️.
Thank for you watching. It is a really unfortunate event.
Very sad. I remember when this happened. It reached the news in PA, people were talking about it and just shaking their heads. Great job, as always, Scott!!
Hi Scott, I’m glad the parents got justice over something so stupid, RIP to Rick and Ruth 💐💐💐💐, thank you guys xxxxx
Thank you for watching!
That poor girl walking in and finding her parents murdered😢 I just can't understand why he thought he had to kill anybody. R.I.P. 🙏
I wonder if things would have turned out differently if he had a proper upbringing. The Mother has some responsibility in this I believe. Another one I had not heard about. Thanks Scott 👍
Thank you for watching!
Thank you, Scott, for bringing this to our attention. I didn't know about this particular case. It's so sad. The whole situation is sad, but these young people crossed the line..and yes, the Charles Manson reference was spot on. May these 2 souls rest in peace. And as far as Rod goes, God has his plans for him. The others will have to live with what happened for the rest of their lives. God bless you and your friend for the respect you give to these souls, so that they will never be forgotten. ✌️✌️✌️💕
So proud of you Scott on over 200 thousand subs!! Your amazing. Safe travels ❤❤
Definitely deserves it. He makes me want to be a better creator whenever I film with him.
@@goldentickettohistory108 hello just subbed to you!!
I remember hearing about this case. I’ve seen many docs on this and it’s appalling that rod isn’t in death row anymore. His mother is odd too. I keep thinking their daughter knew more then she let in. Just my opinion
Scott I had her heard of this happening! I’m so glad you were able to share this video. What a horrible for those kids to do,this is unbelievable
It is definitely a terrible Story!ok thankful that I was able to work with Scott to bring the story to all of you!
The damage was done before he had a chance , sad really but such a heinous crime is unforgivable! Great video once again Scott ❤️
Thank you for checking out the video!
I will never understand how so many young kids with criminal minds always manage to find each other, especially in such a small town like this. It also seems to be happening more and more as the years go by. How are we creating monsters like these? Anyone involved no matter how small should have been sentenced to the maximum penalty. It's always the victims and their families that get the worst sentence. Great job on the telling of this story Scott and Sean (spelling?) RIP to these poor victims of such a brutal evil crime. Prayers for their families too.❤💐
Thanks Flo! Yes, your spelling is correct! It is definitely a tragedy that these events occur. I let least we can strive to keep the victims memories alive through telling their story. Thanks again for your support!
@@goldentickettohistory108 You're absolutely right! Remembering the victims is what matters most
Never heard of this story. Crazy and scary.
Agreed! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely hooked on your videos Scott. You do an amazing job and we can't enough how much we appreciate your time and the amount of research you put into every story/video. You're bringing these places back to life in a sense and are showing us who will never probably ever be able to visit these locations, a real life "in person" perspective, and I can't thank you enough! If you're ever come to the east coast again, im really close to Sandy Hook School shooting + the wood chipper murder which inspired the famous scene in Fargo. They happened 5-10 mins apart from each other.
What a tragic story 😢. A new viewer here and I have been binge watching your channel. My new favorite to watch.
Scott is definitely the best! Thank you for taking time to watch this collaboration video!
@@goldentickettohistory108 ❤️
Thank you for what you and Scott do !
@@rethabyrum2605 thank you! Scott is definitely amazing at what he does! I I am glad that we were able to share this story and ensure that the victims memories live on!
Thank you so much!
I remembered when that happened. My parents along with the rest of us. My mother is buried at that same cemetery.
Another great video scott much respect brother you to Sean,, thanks again great true life filming location, take care scott be safe out there love mr b uk 🇬🇧 Robin hood county uk 👍
Scott, I love all your videos. But this one gave me the creeps for some reason. Still appreciate you doing it. You are literally the best at what you do.
It is definitely a hard story to hear let alone cover! I hope we were able to do it justice!
This case was very strange. I remember reading about it after it happened. Thank you for sharing this...
Thanks for check out the video!
Rest in peace, Mr. and Mrs. Wendorf. Safe travels.-Joe from Joplin MO
Agreed. Thank for watching
Thank you Sean and Scott for telling respectfully such a horrific story. What a deluded boy and his friends. How he isn't on death row amazes me.
He originally was on death row, but because of his age when the crime was committed, it was reduced to life. Thank for you the kind words. It is definitely a hard story to tell. In addition to all of the information and moving parts to the story.
@@goldentickettohistory108 I heard. There should be retrial. At least he is never getting out.
This is so sad especially as they were only kids .thanks for sharing this story love from West Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 💙 💚
It is, im in the uk 🇬🇧, so ive never heard alot of scotts, stories, its unreal
There are so many stories here in the states. I have some more stories on my channel that Scott hasn’t covered…yet!
Hi Scott this is Laura. Love the video and the story you tell about them
Omg. I’ve been to Eustis many times and was just by there today, I didn’t know that something like this had happened so close. 👍🏻
It is sad how many tragic stories like this have happened around us. Thanks for watching!
Nice episode. Town names like Winter Haven and Winter Park are meant to signify a place where you can escape the winter. Growing up in Central Florida and now living in a state with winters, it totally makes sense to me now.
Thank you!
I was a student at Murray State University when this happened. Our fraternity would share the same secluded spot that the vampire cult would use for rituals and ceremonies. There are ruins of a building still there a few miles out of Murray which was called the vampire hotel.
I've lived in Murray for almost 20 years, and I think they finally tore it down right before COVID, but don't quote me on that!
I remember seeing a documentary on this case. Great episode Scott. Hope you're well.👍🙏
Sad R.I.P 😢
Another fantastic video Scott. Keep doing what you do !! Love from the UK ❤❤
Thanks for the video that was a crazy story
It is definitely a crazy story. While conducting the research, the story kept getting stranger and more extreme.
Hi Scott. I didn't recognize you with the baseball cap..LOL. The heat must've been rough in florida. I've never heard of this case. These teens are such followers. Poor couple
I think he should trademark the ball cap! I tend to have a hat in all of my videos!
Great video! If ur ever in the Pittsburgh area u should do a video on the Greensburg 6
Thanks! I was just in Philadelphia last December. Might make it that way again soon!
I got done with work so decided to watch ur video when I got home I thought it look interesting
Hopefully you enjoyed it!
Good Afternoon Scott 🙋🏽. I hope you are having a wonderful day ‼️ thank you for inviting me to watch your video 📸
Great video i remember this case like it was yesterday.
It was and remains to be a tragic story! Thank you for watching !
Extremely sad 😢
Hello Scott I hope everything is well my friend 👋🌺🌴❤️
Very interesting story!! 😢 thanks for sharing it
Thank you Scott for sharing this story. I have not heard of this murder before. So sad! Thanks Scott for all you cover.😢
It’s definitely a tragic story, but one that needs to be shared to ensure the victims memories live one! Scott’s content is amazing! I am really thankful to be able to collaborate again with him on the project.
Happy Birthday Scott 🎉 🎉 shall raise a glass to you 😊 x cheers for yet another superb job ❤
So sad. Beautiful video ✌️
Thank you for watching our collaboration!
Wow it’s just so incomprehensible.Great job Scott.❤
I agree Tracy! Thank you for watching!
Thank you Scott !! I love all your videos. You should look into the Deltona massacre, I still remembered it like it happened yesterday.
The boardwalk murders? I hope to cover the story soon on my channel!
@@goldentickettohistory108 hi!! The Xbox murders from 2004 in Deltona. Btw! I can't wait to binge watch your channel!
Scott I love what you do you do it with respect and dignity if you get low views on topics like this it’s their loss. Keep being you my friend hope to meet you one day 🙏🏻🍻
Thanx bro
Great video.
Will you ever make a video of the Cheshire Muders?
That first picture of him looks like Sean penn as spicoli
Robert Stack would have done a great job on this story back in the day….but Scott is the next best thing today 👍🏻
It was definitely a great opportunity to film this video with Scott!
Great video! Very interesting. Thank you both!
Thank you for watching!
Dang i do remember this,,,,great video,,but you forgot to put his link in the description yo!
I just added it lol! I always forget cause I’m used to doing my typical keyword description etc. it’s there now tho
Lots of us read stuff about vampires from a young age but didn’t go on to believe we were one! Just saying. Thanks to Sean/Shaun(?) for telling the story and being a great guest, you should definitely collaborate with him again.
Thanks!
And thank YOU so much Clarissa! 😊😊😊😊
Appreciate the support! Scott definitely deserve it for all of the time he puts into traveling and editing.

Unbelievable story! Too much sick stuff going on in this world and it’s so sad 😢
Agreed! It’s sad that these events occur. The goal is to keep the memories of those affected alive! Thank you for watching.
for sure it was a crazy story and yea the cults were starting to get out especially with the Mason cult more were happening and it is so sad for the people who got killed from crazy sick people and his mom sure didn't help the issue by getting him started in such a young age.. RIP for all the victims thanks Scott

Woah! Scott wearing a hat. Almost didn't recognize you 😂. I own a book about vampires and this story is in it. Interesting and bizarre.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video,what a horrible story
Don’t remember this story. Horrible. Well done video. Done with much respect. Rest in peace to them both 🙏🏽🙏🏽😢 they were evil! You could tell by their pictures! Very sad this happened to them! 😢
Thank you for watching!
@@goldentickettohistory108 your welcome 🤗
I didn’t live in the area at the time but for some reason I thought it happened in Leesburg but this has been very informative. I wonder if I drove by you and didn’t even know it 🤦🏻♀️ Every time that pos has a smirk in his updated photos I wish they had kept the death penalty.
There are so many stories in Lake county. There is a good chance that we may have crossed paths as I travel through that area quite often. I agree that there was potentially some port judgement in the changes that occurred in the sentencing.
Thanks Scott for everything you do!
Thanks for Sharing! I read a book about this case many years ago!🩵😎
Thank you for watching!
RIP Richard and Ruth.
I just saw that Heather is into Artwork and living in North Carolina and is married. Kelly is her married name. Not sure about Jennifer.
Truly disturbing case. RIP victims!!🌹
Great vid Scott ! RIP to these two . Btw loving the hat ❤
Ohhhh i remember this story well as it was so shocking.
