On the morning of October 9, 2006, the fire service was called to a property at Barnagh Park in Donaghadee, where 77-year-old widow Matilda "Tilly" Campbell lived.

Tilly was pronounced dead at the scene, but none of her injuries appeared to be fire-related. She had been murdered by a burglar whose face was all too familiar.

I welcome my friend and fellow podcaster Kacey to the show in this interview episode.

Kacey is the creator and host of the award-nominated podcast 'The Cult Vault', and since the show's launch in May 2020, she has put a great deal of work into bringing the acts of cults and high-control groups to the masses.

The podcast originally only featured deep-dive episodes into infamous cults such as The Peoples Temple, The Manson Family and The Unification Church, but Kacey quickly realised that the best way to learn about how people get sucked into these groups was through interviews.

The Cult Vault now includes long-form interview episodes with cult survivors and experts, aiming to keep the focus on the survivors' point of view.

Kacey can be reached at her website:
