Bayou Killings/ Unmasking of a Cult

First Half: Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered around the murky canals of a bayou town in Louisiana, leading local law enforcement officials to pursue a serial killer theory. Author and investigator Ethan Brown joins George Knapp to discuss how these homicides were not the work of a serial killer, but the violent fallout a brutal sex and drug trade and a backwoods underworld hidden in plain sight.

Second Half: Andrew Cohen is one of the most controversial spiritual teachers of the last thirty years. In 2013, his organization EnlightenNext collapsed amidst claims of abuse and the shocking revelation it had been a cult. Alex Howard, the founder of Conscious 2, and director Meagen Gibson will discuss a new 6-part television series which investigates the danger of unchecked power in the hands of a charismatic leader, and how this co-existed alongside genuine spiritual awakening.
