Forget torture and murder, this week's true crime case is about...aliens? Heaven's Gate was a pseudo-Christian religious cult that believed heaven could be found quite literally, in space. 39 people lost their lives in what would be, and remains to this day, the largest mass suicide on U.S. soil. Bizarre doesn't even begin to cover this true crime case.
