You think you know the NXIVM story. The secretive self-help empire. The sex cult headlines. The downfall of its leader, Keith Raniere. But the most famous woman at the centre of the story has remained largely silent. 

Allison after NXIVM from Uncover tells the story of Allison Mack: former Smallville actress, high-ranking NXIVM member, and convicted felon. With exclusive access following her release from prison, this series traces her astonishing path from Smallville fame to NXIVM’s inner circle — and her effort to rebuild a life in the wreckage. Through raw interviews and revealing conversations with those who knew her before, during, and after NXIVM, this season dives deep into the gray zones of influence, accountability, and redemption.

From iHeart Podcasts and School of Humans comes Hell and Gone Murder Line. On December 13, 2020, in Hemphill, Texas, police in Sabine County got a call about a houseboat on fire. The houseboat was docked behind 322 Echo Ridge, off of Cedar Grove Road on Highway 21 in the Pendleton area of Toledo Bend. And the scene very quickly descended into total chaos. The firefighters had trouble getting out to the remote location, and by the time they got there the boat was engulfed in flames. Firefighters and paramedics rushed to the boat but it was too late. By the time they got there the walls had caved in. And then, when they dug through the remains of the boat, they found the body of 64-year-old Doug Janis. 

At first, they thought that the fire had been some kind of accident and that Doug had died as a result of a propane leak. But then, they took Doug's body in for an autopsy, and they found two bullets in his head. Doug Janis had been murdered. And his much younger wife April Mae Janis was nowhere to be found. But Doug’s death was just the beginning of a story that goes back twenty years and involves sex, allegations of corruption, and multiple murders.

The finale. The aftermath of Ringel's trial, what happened, and what was learned. David and Mary Ann embark on a search for Chrissy’s body.

Watch David Ridgen's original television documentary from 2012, 'Confession to Murder Part I' and 'Confession to Murder Part II'.

David’s TV documentary about Christine comes out in the spring of 2012, publicly revealing details of the case for the first time along with key interviews including a face-to-face with Anthony Ringel. In the aftermath, police launch an undercover operation on Ringel. David and Mary Ann's work proves key and Ringel is re-arrested. Will Ringel finally go to trial and Mary Ann learn the truth?

The case against Anthony Ringel falls apart and he is freed. And Mary Ann says she's been kept in the dark. How did it happen, and is Anthony Ringel even guilty of what he says?

A decade after her disappearance, a previously uninvestigated local man comes forward at a family gathering and confesses to killing Christine Harron. Chrissy's mother Mary Ann is told that the case is a "slam dunk". And the outcome of an upcoming trial could mean she will finally learn the truth. But this is just the beginning.

Chrissy Harron didn’t feel well on May 18, 1993, and stayed home from school, but eventually her mother insisted that she get to afternoon class. Chrissy left, slamming the door, and would never be seen again. How can someone simply vanish, and did the local police find anything of use in their investigation?
