This is an excellent podcast that fascinated Utahans for years. Told by the lead Investigator and gives great insight into Cult mentality. Highly recommend this.

I didn’t know about this community until hearing this podcast. The narration is really well done and written. I love how the author structured the order of information, it keeps the listeners hooked. As an avid listener of Crime Junkie by Ashley Flowers, I’m sad this is only 7 episodes!
