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.

Hey PodFam! This week Stephanie was roadtripping and stopped in Chicago. Before stopping she asked her brother, Sam, if he wanted to record an episode. Jumping at the opportunity Stephanie met with her brother and only asked him one question before recording. Do you want a story that is light hearted or gory? Sam chose GORY and Stephanie delivered. Sam asked and Stephanie did NOT disappoint. This is a relatively unknown case from the UK in the mid 1990's. Despite its horrific details the event did not get much press because of the timing - the same weeks and months Kelly Anne Bates's story came to light the late Princess Diana of Wales was tragically killed, taking the world's attention. Not saying any life is more important than the latter, this is just the history of 1997. Sam is the lead singer and guitarist in the band XYZXYZ. Their music can be found where ever you download your music (Napster and Limewire). They are on Facebook, Instagram, and have shows playing throughout the Chicago areas. Check them out and love them, or else. Instagram: @xyzxyz.band --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/millennialmurders/support
