Pazuzu Ilah Algarad (born John Alexander Lawson; died October 28, 2015) was an American murderer responsible for the killing of two men. Born as John Alexander Lawson, Algarad legally changed his name in 2002 to conform with his satanic beliefs. His name was chosen after Pazuzu, and his surname "Ilah Algarad" means "the lord of the locusts" in Arabic. He died of an apparent suicide in a North Carolina prison cell on October 28, 2015.
In 2012, he was convicted as an accessory after the fact for the shooting death of Joseph Emmrick Chandler, in Donnaha Park near the Yadkin River in 2010. In 2014, he was arrested after skeletal remains were discovered in shallow graves in his backyard. His girlfriend was arrested as well. She was charged and later pled guilty for her role in the deaths.
Algarad lived in Clemmons, North Carolina, with his mother. The house was demolished on April 24, 2015, after being declared unfit for human occupation.
Following his death, he became the subject of a documentary called The Devil You Know by Vice Media.
