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.

Julio Segundo Pérez Silva, born on July 15, 1963, is a Chilean taxi driver and convicted serial killer responsible for the rape and murder of at least 14 women and girls between 1998 and 2001.
