Father led cult while six children perished in Utah suite
In Salt Lake City a 39 year old Immanuel David kept his family in a $90 a day hotel suite for 14 months. He died by his own hand as his wife Rachel David urged their children to leap to their deaths from a balcony. Seven people died including five children ages 5 to 14 and the mother. One child Elizabeth David survived in critical condition. The family lived in isolation and were taught at the suite. Hotel staff said the children spoke to strangers only with their parents. Police and hospital reports described multiple fractures and abdominal injuries. Investigators weigh accusations of a religious cult, fraud charges against followers, and potential motives. Police noted David’s belief he was God and ties to a Mormon excommunication. The piece also notes a separate item about Senator Baker’s renomination and copper import quotas.
