Man Attempts to Feed Real Human Heart to His Family to “Release the demons” [Horror IRL]
In 2021, Oklahoma performed a mass commutation of prison sentences. The releases were orchestrated through a state law that took effect in 2019. Among those who received commuted sentences was Lawrence Paul Anderson.
Kiro7 reports that Anderson was unable to stay on the straight and narrow following his early release. He tragically made his way into the spotlight following a gruesome ordeal involving a neighbor and several family members.
While he was briefly unincarcerated, Anderson killed his neighbor, Andrea Lynn Blankenship. After breaking into Blankenship’s home, killing her, and cutting out her heart, Anderson took the excised organ to the home of his aunt and uncle, Leon and Delsie Pye.
According to police affidavits, Anderson proceeded to cook the heart with potatoes and attempted “to feed to his family to release the demons.” From there, he began to attack his relatives.

When authorities arrived on the scene, they found Anderson’s uncle, Leon Pye, and Pye’s granddaughter deceased. Delsie Pye was stabbed but did not succumb to her injuries. She was rushed to the hospital and was eventually able to identify Anderson as the perpetrator behind the attacks.
At a recent hearing, Anderson was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the three murders, one count of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of felony maiming. The prosecutor made the decision to take the death penalty off the table as part of a plea agreement. The victim’s family said they did not want to endure the pain of a trial.
