For the first time, reports are revealing the full confession of a case that shocked the country. In 2005 the pastor of Hosanna Church in Livingston, Louisiana walked into Detective Stan Carpenter's office and confessed that he had performed satanic rituals, child abuse and animal sacrifice in the church and was not acting alone.

MailOnline has reported on the full confession of the case whose aftershock still echoes in Lamonica's former parish of Tangipahoa, Louisiana to this day. In the confession Lamonica named his accomplices and the child victims. HBO "True Detective" writer Nic Pizzolatto, hinted that this particular case was his inspiration for his massive hit show.

The site examined hundreds of pages of Lamonica's personal written confessions and spoke with the officer who took the pastor's confession that day.

Major Carpenter, told MailOnline, "Lamonica walked into my office and sat down, just as calm as you and me talking now. I was Detective Supervisor at the time. When he came in he basically thought that after he told us what he did he was just going to go on about his business of the day."

"Listening to him, here where we're all Christian, it kind of floored me. You're talking about a man who professes to be a preacher, a pastor and a church leader abusing children and worshiping Satan," the Major said. "I'm an old guy. I'm coming up to retire in a couple of years. I thought I'd seen it all and sometimes I reckon you have seen it all, only in different ways. Then something like this happens. It stays with you."

In his confession, Lamonica sat down and told the officer, "I want to talk about the dedication (to Satan) of a baby. It was held at the church, upstairs, in what was called the Youth Room."

He went onto clarify that the room was covered in black, especially the windows, "like black paper, keep it dark."

The dark room had a pentagram in the middle of the floor, and a book of "Spells and Temptations," he said. For this occurrence, he stated, there were five others with him. Austin 'Trey' Bernard III, then 36, Lamonica's wife Robin, 45, a church member Paul Fontenot, 21, sheriff's deputy Chris Labat, 24 and Patricia 'Trish' Pierson, 56.

All but the sheriff later pleaded guilty to charges varying from aggravated rape to sexual battery to obstruction of justice. Labat was charged with child pornography but mysteriously the charges were dropped.

Lamonica claimed, "They would start off like a church service but it was satanic music. There were candles burning, dark, red candleholders. And the dedication of baby A into Satan with this Pentagram, she was put in the middle, in a black dress."

The group then reportedly began chanting around Bernard's baby daughter, who was barely one year old at the time. They then killed a cat and drained its blood, each drinking it. He said the child was not forced to drink because she was too young so they instead took off her dress and sprinkled the blood over her.

These meetings took place once every two to three months, according to Lamonica. On other occasions he said, "Certain girls would be picked and have sexual relationships with. The guys would line up, one by one, they would come and they would have sex with that girl. And the same if there was a woman...they would have [a] homosexual relationship, acting like one was a man and one was a woman."

He claimed that there were "feces laid around. There was urine."

He maintained that during these satanic rituals he would become "distorted" by the Devil and that demons would modify him into an animal. "A snake, a fox, wolf, spiders," were a few of the names of the animals he mentioned. He always confessed to bestiality

Bernard confessed to abusing his own daughter since she was two months old. He was the first of the Hosanna Church accused to be convicted of abuse. Lamonica's sons, now 18 and 20, also gave graphic accounts of long-term abuse at the hands of their father, and Bernard who engaged in a homosexual relationship.

The practices allegedly took place from 1999- 2003 up until Lamonica and his wife separated. It is reported that two days before Lamonica walked into Major Carpenter's office she phoned Tangipahoa Parish Sherriff Daniel Edwards, with similar allegations.

There are themes of the Hosanna Church case throughout "True Detective," But According to MailOnline the Hosanna Church case makes the HBO show look subtle compared to the disturbing things that took place in the real life account.

MailOnline reports that there is no mention of Satan or any of the rituals, in any of the more than 200 pages Lamonica wrote detailing what he did to his children and who he did it with.

By the time the case reached the Amite Courthouse in Louisiana in the summer of 2008, two different stories had arose, neither of them mentioning involvement of a Satanic cult though and that was the story that stuck publicly.

To the prosecutor, District Attorney Don Wall, stated that the case had nothing to do with the occult and chalked it up to an attempt by Lamonica to get away with his own guilt by claiming he was "compelled" by Satan.

The defense attorney Michael Thiel came up with a whole other account in which he says his client was the victim of a Christian cult led by a preacher named Lois Mowbray.

He alleged that she was a "flase prophet" obsessed by her concept of "cleansing" of generational curses, which made all guilty of the sins of their forefathers. Mowbray was arrested for failure to report child abuse, although this is not a crime in Louisiana if you are a pastor, so charges against her were dropped.

Lamonica claimed his confession was false and forced, and his sons also recanted their own accounts on the stand. State Police and the FBI who were called to investigate the church claim they found no DNA evidence of animal blood, no Satanic scrawls in the youth room visible only under 'black light' as Lamonica stated, and no faint outline of a pentagram scrubbed from the floor. 

New York Times Editor Rick Lyman who reported on the case back in 2005 told The Christian Post the direct opposite; he is quoted saying, "Somebody had painted something on the floor, a pentagram or something and the police were saying that this was evidence of satanic rituals."

Regardless of the cause, the jury found Lamonica guilty and convicted him and four life sentences, to run concurrently. He had a petition to appeal but it was denied. Bernard received three consecutive life sentences.

Hurricane Katrina took out the building associated with all the shame and scandal. Today, there is still a church on the site - the Christian Life Assembly of God.

Below is the the trailer for the show that was inspired by these wicked events:
