Building Utopia: Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Episode 15: Murder Summer


Listen Later

Murder is in the air at Rajneeshpuram during the summer of 1985. We track the commune leaders' audacious plots to assassinate public officials and commune members they felt were enemies, including U.S. Attorney for Oregon, Charles Turner, and Bhagwan's closest companion, Vivek. The events culminate in Sheela making a drastic decision.
