Apparently you missed the entire point of the story. You demanded evidence that role-playing games led to occult participation. This story was a good demonstration of exactly that.

The murder was significant only because that is what brought the story to the attention of the national media. Murders are committed every day for a variety of motives. But in this particular case, the boy's experience with role-playing games led to his participation in genuine occult activities which eventually led to murder.

I demanded nothing. I simply asked a question.

REPEAT AFTER ME: CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION!

You are using this case as proof that RPGs drive people to the occult, yet you provide no proof of that. This person came from a very messed up background that had a lot more to do with what he did than any RPG which you would notice if you researched this case.

Millions of people play RPGs yet do not turn to the occult. Just because a few insane people do, does not prove anything.
