He appeared at her church. He was “funny, romantic, the most sensitive man I’ve ever met,” Wainscott said. “The guy that every girl would want.” Soon they were dating and eating dinner at Red Lobster and watching movies. He would bring toys for her kids. “Very engaging. Down to earth. Nice fellow,” their pastor said. But when a police officer approached her with a photograph she said “That’s John" (her presumed perfect man). Except he wasn’t. He was Jeffrey Manchester, an escaped convict who had been living for the last six months inside a nearby Toys R Us and Circuit City. But now he was on the run, and detectives needed her help!   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com  

In the 1970s, Roch Theriault convinced a small group of people to abandon their lives and possessions and go with him to an isolated community in rural Quebec. After attaining absolute control over his followers, Theriault dictated every part of the Ant Hill Kids' existence, including their clothing, diet, thoughts, communication… and probably most disturbingly, their medical treatments... Which were administered by Teareo himself… The cruelness of Roch’s teachings extended even to the children of the cult. They suffered beatings, starvation, and relentless labor, while adults took the brunt of - but not ALL of - his sexual abuses.   This episode brought to you by Songfinch: songfinch.com/CREEPER True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys   Sources: https://morbidology.com/the-ant-hill-kids/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/ant-hill-kids https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/23978/4-cults-you-might-not-know-about https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/cult-killers-prison-art-for-sale-on-u-s-website/article_3d7aca63-62fa-5d5b-8312-51929cb7f6f7.html https://wrldrels.org/2019/02/25/holy-moses-mountain-family-2/ https://www.cultfacts.com/cults/ant-hill-kids https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/chilling-insight-doomsday-cult-members-13995059 https://www.toronto.com/news/crime/behind-the-crimes-murder-mutilation-abuse-part-of-life-at-ant-hill-kids-commune/article_70440d6e-a838-5b34-856d-b696402a10c9.html https://culteducation.com/group/1289-general-information/8025-killed-cult-leaders-sons-speak-out.html https://revue-ndc.qc.ca/je-suis-vraiment-heureuse-maintenant/ (google translated to English) https://www.religionnewsblog.com/20841/roch-theriault https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassicDepravities/comments/y4rfvj/today_on_classic_depravities_of_the_internet_the/ https://infosect.freeshell.org/infocult/phenomene/English/HTML/doc0007.htm https://www.google.com/books/edition/Cults_Uncovered/yc68DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Gabrielle+Lavall%C3%A9e%22&pg=PT76&printsec=frontcover

O.J. Simpson was a former NFL football player and convicted armed robber and kidnapper known for being acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. In this second and final part of our Oj Simpson saga, we talk the trial(s), books, talk show appearances, confessions and the strange legacy left behind by OJ Simpson.   Original song lyrics:   Welcome everyone to part two Here’s my song about the juice Orenthal James of all names That’s what it read on his lawsuits   Back in his prime he was pretty fast Out in buffalo kicking ass But when his hay day was done Oj stayed on the run   Chorus: He rides a bronco Keeps a steady pace Out on the highways The lawmen give chase He’s desperate now Gun trembling in his hand All strung out Spinnin' every lie he can   If he did it here’s what he’d do He’d write a book and explain it all to you How can he make you understand? He’s not the killing kind of man   But now the juice has run out What’s TMZ gonna talk about? Whether he’s down below or up in glory I can see him and Johnny swapping stories     True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com
