From a young age, Jim Jones had his eyes set on becoming a preacher. At 24 he would accomplish that goal by opening the Peoples Temple church in Indianapolis. But, by the end of his life he lead over 900 people to their death in what is now known as the Jonestown Massacre. Before 9/11 the Jonestown Massacre was the largest loss of U.S. civilian lives from a non-natural disaster, and I caution anyone who decides to look up this case because the pictures alone will have you shaking.

You GUYS. We are tackling one of the newest religions, or oldest cults, depending on how you want to look at it. We are tackling the church of scientology, Leah Remini, Tom Cruise, Danny Masterson, and the disappearance of Shelly Miscovich. Buckle up, it's about to be a long ride.

Family is everything. No question about it. True, they will get on your nerves like nobody’s business. But at the end of the day, it's all love. I WISH that was the theme for today. But, this “Family” is nothing of the sort. This “Family” ruthlessly murdered without remorse or care, all led by a deranged racist who couldn’t deal with rejection. What better way to kick off the cult season then by starting with Charles Manson.

On November 13, 2022, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves lost their lives in a tragic quadruple homicide. Xana, Ethan, Madison and Kaylee all attended the University of Idaho and had come back from a night out when their lives were taken. Much of this episode’s facts and topics are coming from the Probable Cause Affidavit that was released last week. It is a statement made by Brett Payne, Corporal at the Moscow Police Department. CPL Payne is being assisted by the members of the Idaho State Police and the FBI. To be clear: There may be (and there probably is) more evidence in this case that is not in the affidavit. That is because the affidavit’s purpose is not to outline everything that the police know. It is to satisfy the probable cause for arrest standard. Please be sure to keep up with the case as the investigation is ongoing and new facts are sure to emerge.

Thank you to all of our listeners that joined us in 2022, and to all of our listeners who were (for some reason) with us before that. We are so grateful for these silly little microphones and this community. We talk about really gruesome crimes but MAN are we looking out for each other! 

Listen along as we recap wtf happened in 2022. It was truly a year that is for the books (good and bad!).



Stay tuned for 2023...... it only gets better!
