THE FINDERS: Did the CIA Cover Up a Child Trafficking Ring?

What happens when a local police department accidentally stumbles upon a CIA operation? In 1987, we found out.

Imagine this: Police in Florida arrest a group of disheveled adults in a park with terrified, unkempt children. It looks like an open-and-shut case of a horrific child trafficking ring. But just as the detectives start digging into the "Game of Games" manual and the disturbing photos found in the van, the suits from Washington D.C. show up. And the message is clear: Stop the investigation.

In this episode, we crack open the FBI Vault records to investigate The Finders, the most baffling and controversial cult in American history. Led by the enigmatic Marion Pettie, this Washington D.C. commune morphed from a quirky New Age experiment into the target of a massive international manhunt.

We analyze the evidence that still keeps investigators up at night. Was this just a misunderstood commune caught up in the hysteria of the Satanic Panic? Or, as the declassified documents suggest, was The Finders a front for CIA intelligence training, protected by the highest levels of the US government?

We separate the internet folklore from the forensic facts, exploring the tension between local law enforcement and federal secrets.

In this episode, we uncover:

The Park Arrests: The 1987 incident that exposed the group.
The CIA Connection: Why the agency allegedly intervened to block the prosecution.
The "Game of Games": Decoding the group’s bizarre internal manifesto.
The Legacy: How this case fuels modern conspiracy theories today.
