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. ...

Season 4: When Rhoda Nathan's lifeless body was discovered in her hotel room, it was assumed she'd had a heart attack. The autopsy proved otherwise: Nathan, 67, had been viciously beaten to death, punched so hard by her assailant that two of her teeth had been knocked out. Days later, a hotel employee went to the hospital to be treated for an infection in his hand, which was teeming with a bacteria most often found in human mouths. That, plus a pendant an officer said was discovered in the t ...

Ocean Beach Murders (Unsolved Serial Murders)

At approximately 1.25am on January 27th 1974 the San Francisco police received an anonymous call saying a man’s body was lying near the water line on Ocean Beach. The police arrived and discovered the caller was telling the truth. It was the start of a reign of terror targeting the LGBT+ community that would leave at least six gay men murdered and many more lives destroyed. They were victims of a rage-fuelled serial killer known as “the Doodler”. Police gave him that moniker because of the way he gained the confidence of the men he murdered. He would hang around gay bars and clubs sketching portraits of his marks. “The Doodler” was never caught but modern day cold case investigators think they know his identity and he is alive and well, still living in the Bay Area.
