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. ...

In July of 1990, 41-year-old Pamela Hoy had dinner with her estranged husband in Burlington, N.C. and packed her van in preparation for an upcoming dog show. She disappeared that night, and while her remains were found months later, the case has never been solved. Seven-year-old Jennifer Patterson went missing after going to visit some neighborhood children in Spring Lake, N.C. in June of 1991. Could she still be alive and was she abducted as part of a parental custody dispute? Forty-three-year-old Cecil Chacon, Jr. was a respected educator in Henderson, N.C. when he was murdered under unusual circumstances in 1992. Is there still a way to solve his case? KC Lee Johnson was a transgender woman murdered in Wilmington in early 2023 by a man she met online. Was her death a hate crime or a crime of opportunity? We also discuss Operation Artemis, a recent sting set up in North Carolina that netted the arrests of fifteen different individuals attempting to meet minors for the purposes of sexual activity.
