I can't find the link now but will post it as soon as I do. One witness has stated that there was a basement to the Viper Room, complete with altar and used as a ritual place for the Satanists. River was due to be the sacrifice but got wind of their plan. He tried to leave the club to escape but was injected and died. Huston was livid and flew into a rage. Four witnesses to the event all subsequently died in mysterious circumstances. River was a sacrifice gone wrong.
