Hannah E. Frisby, 29, of West Monroe, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, United States was the leader of a group that practices vikingism, the worship of the Norse pantheon. One of the rituals of the group was sacrificing a puppy.
Among the members of the group were Caleb Frisby, 28, Justin Cowart, 26, and James Owens, who were considered Frisby’s three “husbands”. Her uncle uncle Tommy J. Allen, 54, was also a member.
A Christian woman who suffers from autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was engaged in a polyamorous relationship with Hannah, Caleb, Cowart and Owens. The Christian woman moved into the group’s house in West Monroe and was forced to renounce Christianity.
After almost two weeks, the Christian woman was punished for harming herself. In another incident, she was allegedly asked to sacrifice a puppy.
The Christian woman was told she was a slave who was required to have sex with Caleb, Cowart, Owens and Allen. If she refused, she faced abuse and sexual assault from Hannah.
On September 21, 2023, the victim’s sister visited the residence for dinner. The victim asked her sister “how is Freddy”, which is their family’s safety question they ask if they are in trouble but cannot speak about it.
The victim handed a notebook to her sister and asked her to read her poetry. Written on the notebook was a message that said, “Help me. They won’t let me leave. They beat me every day like a slave.”
Only 2 hours after the sister left the residence, Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies went there to perform a welfare check on the victim. On September 27, 2023, a forensic interviewer interviewed the victim at the Children’s Advocacy Center.
On December 14, 2023, Hannah, Caleb, Cowart, Owens and Allen were arrested. She was charged with first-degree rape, ritualistic acts and aggravated battery and booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center in Richwood, Ouachita Parish.
Caleb and Allen were each charged with aggravated battery. Cowart was charged with aggravated battery and first-degree rape.
