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.

July 8, 1983. Winter Haven, Florida. 47-year old Nancy Drake is viciously attacked inside her church after being bludgeoned with a claw-toothed hammer during an apparent robbery. Nancy is left comatose, but when she wakes up, she has no memory of the incident. Suspicion turns towards Nancy’s 45-year old husband, Thomas Drake, who took out a life insurance policy on her while conducting a secret affair with another woman. Thomas is charged with attempted murder and found guilty at trial, but shortly thereafter, Nancy claims that her memory has returned and she now recalls being attacked by another man. This leads to Thomas receiving a new trial, but he is found guilty a second time and remains incarcerated to this day. Did Thomas Drake attempt to bludgeon his wife to death with a hammer, or was someone else responsible? On this episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, Jules and Robin explore a controversial “Final Appeal” case from “Unsolved Mysteries” which did not even air on television until over 16 years after it was originally produced.
