We're back! This week Kelsie shares the listener request of the Jonestown Massacre. Some people might know this as the suicide by Kool-Aid case, but it actually goes much deeper than that. Jim Jones was a cult leader who convinced 900+ people to die by suicide (some believe it was a mass murder covered up). There are a lot more twists and turns that brought us from a young boy named Jimmy in Indiana, to a grown cult leader called 'Father' in Guyana.
