File 18
File 18 was the title of a law enforcement newsletter published by Lt. Larry Jones[1] of the Boise, Idaho police department and head of the Cult Crime Impact Network (CCIN). Issue #1 was privately published on May 2, 1986.[2] Its EIN was 94-3036813.[3]
It purported to uncover the level of Satanic and occult crime in America. In the first issue, Dr. Al Carlisle of the Utah State Prison System is quoted as estimating that "between 40,000 - 60,000 ritual homicides per year occur in the United States."[2] Disclaimers were included warning that the newsletter was "CONFIDENTIAL. RESTRICTED ACCESS INFORMATION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY."[2] File 18 ceased publication in 1989, after a run of about 20 issues.
At its height, the newsletter claimed an audience of nearly two thousand subscribers, mostly law enforcement officials.[4] In the October 1989 newsletter Maureen Davies of the Reachout Trust authored a lengthy section on "Satanic Ritual Abuse".[5] The newsletter was also sent to members of BADD.[6]
