During the 1960’s Catholic priests were much more revered than they are today and certainly nobody would have suspected a man of the cloth to commit murder. So, in April of 1960 when schoolteacher and former beauty queen 25-year-old Irene Garza’s deceased body was discovered in a canal a few days after giving confession to Father John Feit, it was hard to believe that the young priest could have been responsible. Despite evidence against Father Feit, Irene’s murder went cold for fifty years. This is the true harrowing tale of the monster that lived behind the priest cloths.
