"A man who had spent three decades on Nebraska's death row for the 1985 cult killings of two people, including a 5-year-old boy, has died in prison, officials said Monday. Ryan was convicted in the torture and killing of 26-year-old James Thimm at a southeast Nebraska farm near Rulo, where Ryan led a cult, and in the beating death of Luke Stice, the 5-year-old son of a cult member. Ryan has been on death row since Sept. 12, 1985.
Over three days, Thimm was beaten, sexually abused, shot, stomped and partially skinned while still alive. His fingertips had been shot off on one hand."

His 2 accomplices are free men today. I was blown away by the depravity of this cult, especially in the way a 5-year old child was tortured & killed.
"The tragedy at Rulo gives a chilling worst-case glimpse into how a handful of hate groups have taken advantage of Depression-like conditions to spread their influence in rural America.... Witnesses testified that Thimm was forced to sodomize the communal goat on several occasions and Ryan also forced Rick Stice to sodomize his 5-year old son Luke and Thimm while other members watched. Thimm and Rick Stice eventually objected to Ryan`s orders and the tragedy was triggered.
In March, 1985, with the help of Stice and others, Ryan had painted in red the ``sign of the Beast``--the numbers 666--on Luke`s small back. In subsequent weeks, the boy was repeatedly drenched with ice water and then thrown out in the cold. At the end of the month, Cheryl Gibson testified, Ryan told his wives to stand on the farmhouse porch and watch as he dangled Luke from a dog leash looped about his neck until he died. ``This is the mongrel, the seed of Satan,`` said Ryan."
