The Order of the Solar Temple: The Deadly Final Transit

The Order of the Solar Temple claimed its members were chosen — descendants of the Knights Templar, destined for a higher plane of existence.

In this episode, we follow the group’s final descent as police investigations close in, internal lies are exposed, and leaders Joseph Di Mambro and Luc Jouret push their followers toward a terrifying belief known as Transit.

We examine how grief, spiritual manipulation and absolute control led to mass murder and suicide, making the Order of the Solar Temple one of the most disturbing cult cases in modern history.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussions of coercive control, sexual assault, abuse of minors, suicide and murder.
