Daniel Ben Jordan (May 20, 1934 – October 16, 1987) was an American Mormon fundamentalist. He was a follower of Joel LeBaron, until his brother Ervil LeBaron formed the splinter group Church of the First Born of the Lamb of God.[1][2]

Murder of Joel LeBaron[edit]

In 1972, Ervil LeBaron orchestrated the murder of his brother Joel, the first victim of the fundamentalist blood atonement policy.[3] Jordan was arrested for the murder, but he was released because witnesses were too afraid to testify against him.[4] The murder, and Jordan's alleged involvement, is portrayed in the 2024 Hulu Documentary Daughters of the Cult.[5]
