Former Gainesville mayoral candidate Adam Rosenthal (Giles County Sheriff’s Department).
A former mayoral candidate from Florida who is an alleged member of the Christian fundamentalist “cult” known as The Twelve Tribes allegedly murdered another member of the religious sect after vanishing from the city where he ran for office, police say.
Adam Arthur Rosenthal, 39, is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and tampering with evidence for the alleged killing of Darren Gambrel in Giles County, Tennessee, according to court records.
Rosenthal — a mayoral candidate from Gainesville, Florida, who went missing over the summer — turned up in the Volunteer State after allegedly joining the Twelve Tribes earlier this year, police say. He is accused of murdering Gambrel sometime recently, though it’s unclear when, after Gambrel’s body was discovered on a property last Tuesday owned by the religious group, according to the local Pulaski Citizen newspaper.
