Seven Deadly Sinners
Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way…well that’s just road kill. On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil. Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort…but what happens when that world is shattered… Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the world of Televangelists and cultish child sexual predator, Warren Jeffs. Seasons 2 and 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we’re traveling to the depths of hell, expanding our realm and covering Preachers, Cult Leaders and Religious Organizations linked to horrific crimes...and some of these cases involve leaders who kidnap, rape and murder the ones who trust them the most. What if, after leading you in prayer, he lures to the bedroom. What it the same preacher who captures your heart, kidnaps your child. What if, the priest serving you communion used those same hands to dispose of a corpse. These Preachers committed heinous crimes - right under …your…. nose.. - with a bible next to their bed - and a cross around their neck. Rachael O’Brien is the host of Seven Deadly Sinners, and she guides you on this hellish journey of deception all under the guise of Faith.

- 206 - 196: Franklin Scandal - Alisha Owens
This is the unbelievable followup to the Franklin Scandal. Yes if you’re a long time listener you know I did about a 1000 part series back in 2021 on the Franklin scandal. It may have been only 7 eps but you get the point, I was obsessed with it. I wanted to connect the dots, I wanted to solved the unsolved. So when earlier this week, a victim of this scandal, perhaps the most well known one reached out to me and sent me the kindest message I may have ever received…..I cold called her immediately. Well immediately after sobbing bc it was a message that was so heart felt and also one I needed at the time as well. In addition, she has connected me to nick Bryant, the author and unbelievably dedicated and inspiriting journalist that worked on this Franklin scandal story for over a decade and who was also the person to publish the little black book in the Epstein case and who now, has a non profit with Alisha to get justice for child victims of trafficking. It is real, it’s incredibly important and they are doing the work so without further ado…I’d like to introduce my new friend Alisha Owens.

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 - 55min - 205 - 195: Pride - WWII Sexpionage
This is a story of women with grit, women who were brave and women who were sometimes, also seductive. This story was inspired by a new podcast out by Neil Strauss where he interviews an actual Russian female sex spy so I decided to look into this world further, the world of sexpionage and how brave and alluring female spies helped to change the course of the second world war.... And likely are still changing the course of politics today. In the stories I’ll tell you today, I start with the most famous of them all, the Kitty Salon, a brothel the Nazi’s took over in order to gain intelligence on other high ranking officials, enemies, frenemies, and beyond.

At one point he was the golden boy, but then the media started to turn on him and critique his every move. And the time they did it the worst was during the worst tragedy imaginable.

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 - 31min - 175 - 167: 'Helter Skelter' the Manson Murder Plot
We left off last week with the murder of Gary Hinman. Bobby Beausoliea was the one said to have murdered Hinman and when he was arrested Charlie was not happy. Nervous in fact. Thought that bobby’s arrest may point the finger at the rest of the family, mostly himself. And Charlie had plans that didn’t include that. Still wanting to be a rockstar but likely confidence dwindling in that category after Terry mulches said "no" to him…. He was good at the power of suggestion and manipulation…he was good at targeting and finding people men and women that would be susceptible to it. He was good at the art of the con. And if he wasn’t going to be a rockstar in 1969 he was going to become famous for something else. Helter Skelter, his family of lost souls, his wayward insane personality that he would ride straight through until the end. This is the story of the nights of August 8-10 1969, the murder that followed that, and death valley…the place they thought they were safe from all harm or punishment but the place that they would slip up, get caught, and stand trial for the murders that ended the summer of love.

- 169 - 161: Pride - Larry Nassar
Larry Nassar is a master at the art of deception, a man who used his brain to manipulate and con young girls, their parents, school boards, Olympic heads of the industry. He used his brain. He was smart, and he was bold often committing his life shattering crimes to people who considered him family, often right when the parents were in the room, or upstairs at their own home. What Larry Nassar succeeded at doing for decades to cover up his crimes WOULD BE A STARK DIFFERENCE , TO WHAT Larry Nassar woke up to IN PRISON. A hard reality. WHAT made him a confident criminal for DECADES would be stripped from him once he was in prison with people a lot harder a lot tougher and perhaps with a lot LESS to lose THAN THE national medical coordinator for USA Gymnastics.

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 - 50min - 162 - 155: Gluttony - Kenyan Starvation Cult Part 2
We took a much needed breather from the topic of this episode. We recorded part 1 several months ago and news has continued to pour in from Kenya regarding the Shakahola massacre. If you haven’t listened to that first episode, I highly recommend doing so before jumping in here (it is episode 145 from May 7). Now that we have a bit more insight … .it seemed high-time to record this second episode. This episode will focus on the other pastor arrested for their alleged involvement in the case as well as first-hand accounts from survivors and their families … as well as the blind eye that authorities seemed to turn toward the entire situation when alarm bells were sounding. And major trigger warning while listening. Most of the interviews we will play in this episode are very graphic and difficult to listen to. Back to the case — perhaps the most shocking new statistic? The number of bodies that have been recovered from multiple shallow grave sites deep in the Shakahola forest. If you remember from our first episode, that number stood just over 100 lost souls. Now? It’s a staggering 300+ with hundreds still missing and exhumations continuing day after day. One of you commented on an instagram post that you were worried this could rival the Jonestown Massacre and I hate to say it, but I’m right there with you in that line of thinking.

Imagine a typical, midcentury kit-home in the suburban midwest... Two-stories, white siding, black roof, red brick front steps and red trim.... But this typical midwestern house was anything but ordinary, it held secrets behind its front door that neighbors were suspicious of... The number of times police missed opportunities to solve this case is mind-blowing... Because locked behind the unassuming front door of 2207 Seymour Ave. were three girls who had been trapped and held hostage for over a decade.

I got too deep again and feel I’m getting closer and closer as I dig further and further into The Long Island Serial Killer and the connection with Amanda Weinkoski.... If you’ve listened to her episodes I’ve become heavily invested in and have been silently researching on the side until I can uncover more on what I believe to be a connection, it’s just no coincidence the elements that line up in Amanda’s case and the victims of the LISK case.

Can a cult exist only on online forums? The Cult of Incels proves it to be possible.

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 - 43min - 119 - 114: Greed - The Cripple Creek Gold Rush
In the valley below Mount Pisgah, there is a meandering creek that for the last 30 million years has crept through a desolate prairie, carving into the core of an ancient volcano revealing nuggets of native gold that remained undisturbed on the surface until Bob Womack found a chunk in a cattle pasture in Poverty Gulch and staked the El Paso claim in 1890 - igniting the last Colorado Gold Rush and fostering: “The Greatest Gold Camp On Earth.” It’s true. More gold was pulled out of Cripple Creek than all of Alaska and California’s gold rushes combined. 28 Millionaires were made and the little mining enclave became the financial capital of the country in just a few years. Word of the Gold boom triggered a mass migration of gold thirsty men, with little to no experience mining, to a town that was primed to take their fortune faster than the Gold Fever packed their bags to get there. They say “Money doesn’t grow on trees” - yet it is the root of all evil - so what happens when men start pulling precious metals deeply rooted in the Earth out of the ground faster than Farmers can harvest crops? Greed. A gluttonous hunger for GOLD that erodes the morals of men and women; infecting their souls like a fever - and the contagious excitement of a gold rush spares no one.

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 - 38min - 115 - 111: Wrath - Eastern Lightening
‘Eastern Lightning’ almost sounds to me like a 1980’s metal band…but that’s far from the reality of the organization also known as Church of the Almighty God (among numerous other alias’s). We’re not talking big hair, power ballads and heavy guitar rifts … we’re talking accusations of kidnappings; coercion; alleged assaults; murder; brainwashing and targeting women. All under the nose of China’s Communist Party begging the question as to whether the crazy allegations surrounding the organization are, in fact, true or whether they’re completely fabricated by the CCP.

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 - 30min - 111 - 107: Dr. Kevorkian
I was going back and forth on if this could make a good case for 7DS but I decided it is the perfect case. While I don’t believe that Jack Kevorkian was a sinner or a saint, I believe he was a compassionate pioneer who was grappling with his own generational trauma in the face of the difficulty of being a doctor who has to watch people wither away and suffer - The crossroads of the death he knew as a child intersected with his profession and the unimaginable pain he had to walk his patients through on a daily basis until one day one of them just said Jack…. I’m done… I can’t do this anymore ….and Jack in his own weird way felt too much empathy not to oblige.
