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 Disappearance of Jaliek Rainwalker

Greenwich, New York: Jaliek was just 12 years old when he vanished in November 2002. His adopted father, Steven Kerr, said he woke up and Jaliek wasn't there.
Searches turned up no signs of Jaliek.
In 2008, a very (very) odd letter was sent anonymously to local news stations in upstate New York, claiming Jaliek is alive and well.
