On February 12, 1998, then-seventeen-year-old Ferrell pleaded guilty to the murders, claiming that the others traveling with him were innocent except Scott Anderson, who was simply an accessory. They were later moved to a juvenile facility in Ocala. 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. However, Keesee's grandmother informed the police about her whereabouts and helped police 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 group needed money, and Charity thought her grandmother could help them.

One of the girls, Charity Keesee, placed a call to her grandmother in South Dakota. It is believed that Ferrell liked a video arcade in New Orleans, and they were headed there. 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.Īfter four days of driving through four states, the group was found in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Heather and the other girls that were with Ferrell and Anderson were not at the Wendorf home when the murders took place. The victims were the parents of Heather Wendorf, a long-time friend of Rod's whom he was helping run away from a home that she described as 'hell'. 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. Richard was found bearing burn marks in the shape of a V. 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. When Ruth had found Ferrell and Anderson in the home moments later, Ferrell bludgeoned her to death, bashing her head with the 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. 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.

On November 25, 1996, Naomi Ruth Queen and Richard Wendorf were found by their daughter Jennifer Wendorf, beaten to death in their Eustis home.
