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