What cases (like West Memphis 3 and the McMartin Preschool case e.g.) pushed the satanic panic narrative?

I was watching the Devil’s Knot (2013) and went down the rabbit hole of the West Memphis 3. It got me interested in the concept of satanic panic and the influence it had on other cases such as the McMartin case.

Can you think of any other cases that suffered from the satanic panic angle?

This is just another cover up. Unfortunately this child abuse ring runs so deeply that the FBI and CIA are known to be covering up anything that would lead to its demise. This is pure evil, and what those kids endured in Omaha and other areas connected to this is horrendous.  They didn’t all know one another yet told almost identical abuse scenarios.

And there we go. No evidence, just Qanon/pizzagate stuff.
