Send us a text*cw: profanity and death of childrenIt's hard to believe that an organization like MOVE, which preaches about natural foods and healthy living, could be responsible for the neglect and abuse suffered by its children. In this episode we share exclusive investigative information about Shaeida "She She" Hollaway, who disappeared from the group's care in 1978 at the age of five. Through in-depth research, we learn about MOVE's secretive practices that made it challenging for authorities to locate and safeguard the children's welfare. This eye-opening episode details the group's obsession with isolation and privacy in order to conceal it's true nature, leading to catastrophic consequences for its members, most particularly the dozens of children who died, went missing or suffered decades of abuse.  . Where is SHAEIDA HOLLAWAY? What happened to her in MOVE?Will MOVE answer questions about SHAEIDA?  If not, what could they be hiding?Go to our social media for the MISSING graphic we made so that you can share on your socials with two hashtags #WhereIsShaeida #MissingInMOVEThe producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted and edited by Beth McNamaraArchival producing by Robert HelmsAdditional Season 1 producing by Ann Rogers.

Send us a text*explicit language and threats of violenceWhenever MOVE speaks it is always in "the plural" as "The MOVE Family" but what happens in the family stays in the family, like the movie FIGHT CLUB but even more insidious and culty.  So outsiders think MOVE is what they say they are - a loving committed family.  Over the two seasons you have heard exclusive interviews with former MOVE members sharing the dark secrets in the group.  The podcast has obtained a lot of internal MOVE materials and in this episode we share a letter that exposes the true family dynamics in MOVE.  Here is the letter for you to read after you hear the episode:LINK TO LETTER FEATURED IN EPISODEThe producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted and edited by Beth McNamaraArchival producing by Robert HelmsAdditional Season 1 producing by Ann Rogers.

Send us a text*explicit: child abuse, animal abuse and racial slursMOVE wants the public to see them as a black liberation group and so Ria Africa has been conveniently erased from their current narrative which is why we made this entire episode all about the white rich girl named Suzy who became Sue Africa and then Ria  Africa.  For decades Ria has used the power given to her by MOVE founder Vincent Leaphart and then 2nd leader Alberta Wicker to abuse black children while saying she herself was not white and then Alberta saying she was white and  not black.  And then there is the whole thing about the white cult within the MOVE cult and the Hollywood director who fan girls over MOVE's cult fashion icon RIA. The producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted and edited by Beth McNamaraArchival producing by Robert HelmsAdditional Season 1 producing by Ann Rogers.

Send us a textMumia Abu Jamal is mostly known to the world as a former black panther, former radio journalist and for the last 41 years as a convicted murderer who had been sentenced to death but now is serving life in prison without parole.  What is less known about Mumia Abu Jamal is his long history with MOVE before he shoots Officer Daniel Faulkner on December 9, 1981 and that Mumia's lead publicist "handler" Pam Africa is also the Minister of Confrontation for MOVE.  Utilizing an audio cassette exclusivey obtained by the podcast this episode examines the undeniable 40+ year connections between MOVE, Mumia Abu Jamal and murdered ex-MOVE member John Gilbride.  Mumia and MOVE are one in the same thing, there is no halfsies or casual relationships that span 45 years like Mumia Abu Jamal aka Wesley Cook.   This episode will leave you with questions that the podcast could not get answered after repeatedly reaching out to Mumia and his lawyers/publicists.  The producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted and edited by Beth McNamaraArchival producing by Robert HelmsAdditional Season 1 producing by Ann Rogers.

Send us a textThis episode examines the real man behind THE COORDINATOR of MOVE, Vincent Leaphart, the leader and creator of the group who gave himself the name of JOHN AFRICA and the title of THE COORDINATOR.   Vincent Leaphart, like most cult leaders, put his followers on the front line of his "revolution" and they certainly paid the price with their freedom and in some cases their lives.If you have comments, questions or information related to the podcast or our ongoing research into MOVE please reach out via email:  [email protected] or message us on our social media platforms.  The producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted and edited by Beth McNamaraArchival producing by Robert HelmsAdditional Season 1 producing by Ann Rogers.

Send us a text*CW: discussion of infant deaths, child neglect, child abuse, and police brutality.   MOVE says their religion is Life.  "JOHN AFRICA taught us that Life is the priority. Nothing is more important or as important as Life, the force that keeps us alive. All life comes from one source, from God, Mom Nature, Mama.  Each individual life is dependent on every other life, and all life has a purpose, so all living beings, things that move, are equally important whether they are human beings, dogs, birds, fish, trees, ants, weeds, rivers, wind or rain." - 25 Year On The MoveThis episode examines Life Africa, a baby boy born into the organization in March 1976 that MOVE says was murdered by police.  This tragic event has been shared by MOVE as a justification for taking up arms against the system in 1977.  In examining this infant death the podcast team uncovers other alleged infant deaths.  If you have any information related to this episode or the podcast series overall please reach out via email: [email protected] or message us on our socials. The producers of this podcast wish to stress that all individuals reference in this series are presumed innocent unless or until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law in the United States of America.Support the showExecutive Produced, reported, hosted and edited by Beth McNamaraArchival producing by Robert HelmsAdditional Season 1 producing by Ann Rogers.
