Cults | Teal Swan & The Story of Baby Holly (TW: Suicide)

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we delve again into the fascinating world of cults and followers.
TW for this episode – suicide discussion.
Have you heard of Teal Swan? Teal claims she is part-human, part extra-terrestrial. She has also said that she can hear tectonic plates moving and can inject herself into people’s brainstems.
Teal’s followers are known as ‘Tealers’. Teal routinely gives out advice to suicidal people (she has no medical or psychiatric qualifications). Several of Teal’s followers have taken their own lives after reaching out to her and her team.
Is what Teal Swan is doing dangerous or does she have other’s best interests at heart?
We also discuss the crazy case of Baby Holly. Tina and Harold Clouse were found murdered in Texas in 1981, but their remains were not identified until 2021. The couple had a baby before their deaths and their extended family prayed for over 40 years for answers about what had happened to the family. In 2022, ‘Baby Holly’ was found alive and well – she had been legally adopted and was unaware of the story of her biological family.
It is believed that Tina and Harold were likely killed because of their involvement in a cult called ‘Christ’s Family’. Members of this cult wore diapers on their heads as turbans and men and women were separated from each other.

It's ALWAYS the husband... allegedly | Part 2 | Jennifer Dulos and Suzanne Morphew

In this episode, we finish our "it's always the husband... allegedly" series with the cases of Jennifer Dulos and Suzanne Morphew. Jennifer went missing from New Canaan, CT on May 24, 2019 after dropping her children off at school. Her soon-to-be ex husband, Fotis Dulos, and his new girlfriend, Michelle Troconis were then caught on camera disposing of bloody clothing and cleaning supplies. The two, along with a third person, were eventually charged with her murder - but there has been A LOT of twists along the way. Jennifer remains missing to this day. Suzanne Morphew of Chaffee County, CO was reported missing on Mother’s Day – May 10, 2020. She reportedly left her house alone for a bike ride and never returned. Her bike was recovered less than a half mile away that same day. Her husband, Barry Morphew's story doesn't line up and his strange behavior has left Suzanne's family feeling suspicious. Suzanne also remains missing to this day. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Missing Executives Alan White & Jake Cefolia

Missing Executives Alan White & Jake Cefolia

In two separate but similar incidents, Alan White and & Jake Cefolia were both last seen on surveillance pumping gas before each of their luxury vehicles were found abandoned in vacant areas. After months of searching, neither man has been found and clues to their disappearance are limited. While some have speculated that either man could have left to start a new life, others fear something much more sinister may have happened to them.

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro?

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.
