Founder and leader of polygamist religious "Mormon" sect. In the 1970s LeBaron allegedly ordered the deaths of his brother and one of his own daughters. In 1980 he was convicted for the murder of polygamist leader Rulon C. Allred and sentenced to life at the Utah State Penitentiary.

While in prison Ervil wrote his "Book of the New Covenants", at the small desk located in his cell. This last work would become his most famous. Its 500 pages contained a hit list of over 50 people whom Ervil ordered to be blood-atoned. It included cult defectors, police investigators and prison officials. Copies of the manuscript were distributed among his followers.

Researcher, Julia Scheeres, has noted the following: "Ervil died in prison of an apparent heart attack; prison guards found him keeled over in his cell, a hand clutching his throat...

"If Ervil's death made everyone sleep a little easier at night, it shouldn't have. The Book of New Covenants contained a line of succession of men who were to carry on his 'ministry' after he died.

"One by one, the people on his hit list began to fall, as Ervil continued to orchestrate murderous mayhem from beyond the grave."
