Though authorities cleared Allen Lafferty of any wrongdoing related to the murder, the book that inspired “Under the Banner of Heaven” revealed that he was aware of his brothers’ rants about harming Brenda and Erica, per E! News. Unsurprisingly, Brenda’s family still blames Lafferty for not doing enough to prevent the horrific tragedy, and it seems unlikely that he has continued any kind of relationship with his in-laws.
In light of this, it seems that Lafferty thought it best to start a new slate in terms of his personal life, location, and career. According to The Cinemaholic, Lafferty got remarried and moved to California, allegedly to pursue a career in Hollywood. Though it should be noted that IMDb entries are not verified, a page under Allen Lafferty shows a number of projects — including those that relate to Mormonism — that suggest he was indeed involved in film production. Some of the credits include the propmaker foreman of “Alien: Resurrection” and the propmaker gang boss of “Tears of the Sun.” He is also described as an uncredited propmaker on the hit television series “House” and a carpenter for a 2018 John Legend Christmas special.
His most recent project is “Grace Notes,” which is described on IMDb as a series that “welcomes emerging and established recording artists from a broad range of genres and spiritual backgrounds for intimate performances of inspirational music and candid conversations about life and faith.”
