April 29, 2022 Episode 81: Pamela Smart
Betrayal, infidelity, and murder. Here's an episode that contains it all. You may have heard about this case in passing, without knowing all of the details (especially if you were around during the early 90's). The case of Greggory and Pamela Smart was one of the first in the U.S. where TV cameras were allowed in the courtroom and details were highlyyy publicized in the media. Not only was there a life taken, but a salacious relationship was discovered between "teacher" and student. But what actually happened?!?

Just when you think humans couldn't possibly get worse, another case comes along and proves you wrong. At 17 years old, Lesley Pantaleon's life was not only taken way too soon, but horrifically. The events that unfolded on June 24, 2020 demonstrate that the evil that coagulates in some people- does not discriminate. Although we hope that there are more details that will come to light regarding Lesley's story, we felt that it was important to tell what's known.
This episode also contains a listener story that comes with an EXTREME TRIGGER WARNING: details of abuse and suicide. If this is triggering for you in any way, please heed our warning and DO NOT continue the episode after we give said warning. Just a reminder that YOU ARE LOVED and YOU MATTER!

How do these groups with a seemingly good-hearted start evolve into deceitful, murderous cults? Let’s hope any future religious movements bring more righteous leaders… & less of the cult-y kind.
