River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

True crime podcasting often forgets that, underneath the gore and sensationalism, there are real people, real families, and real justice waiting to be served.

We present carefully crafted true crime stories, thorough research and in-depth interviews with families, law enforcement, and experts. And we bring calls to ...

**Be sure to check out the BIG announcement we have right at the top of the episode**
To those who knew him, Rob Knox was a big ol' teddy bear. Don't let his large physique and rugby training fool you - Rob wasn't one to resort to violence. He was, however, always willing to stand up for others. A fun-loving prankster often described as "cheeky," Rob was a natural performer. His confidence and talent landed him acting jobs including his biggest of all - a character in the "Harry Potter" franchise. Sadly, Rob never got to see his work on the big screen. Just days after he completed filming, 18-year-old Rob Knox was murdered.
