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.

The tragic case of Tammy Marie Lynds, born in 1978, unfolds with a mysterious disappearance in the early morning of July 22nd, 1994. Tammy, a 15-year-old aspiring astronaut, left her home to meet her boyfriend but never returned. The initial investigation labeled her as a runaway, hindering a proper inquiry. Four months later, Tammy's remains were discovered near her home, presenting a baffling challenge for investigators as the cause of death remained unknown due to advanced decomposition. Tammy's diary entries possibly revealed key details that might help solve her murder3.
