Rod Ferrell was a murderer and self-proclaimed cult leader from Murray, Kentucky. Ferrell, born in 1980, murdered at age 16, branding his victims with a "V" mark to signify the murder was the work of his vampire cult.
In 1996, Rod and two accomplices broke into the home of Naomi and Richard Wendorf. While Richard was sleeping, Ferrell bludgeoned him to death with a crowbar, fracturing his ribs and skull. He then found Naomi asleep in another room, but Naomi awoke and threw hot coffee at her attacker. Ferrell got the upper hand and bludgeoned her to death in the same way as he had her husband.

Ferrell and his accomplices then drove through four different states over the next four days. One of Ferrell's accomplices had called her grandmother while they were in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the grandmother informed the police of their whereabouts. They were promptly detained in Louisiana and extradited to Florida.
The victims were the parents of a girl named Heather Wendorf, a friend of Ferrell's. Ferrell's motive for the murder was that he was helping his friend escape from her home life. Ferrell was sentenced to death for his role in the murder, making him the youngest ever prisoner on death row. However, this sentence was later changed to life imprisonment.
