In a quiet corner of America, a church preached purity.
What it practiced was something else entirely.

This week we examine the rise of Abin Cooper and the Five Points Trinity Church, a fundamentalist sect that blurred the line between belief and brutality. What began as fire-and-brimstone rhetoric escalated into abduction, execution, and a federal siege that nearly ended in mass annihilation.

As law enforcement closed in, scripture was weaponized, martyrdom was rehearsed, and a single gunshot turned a standoff into open war. When a mysterious horn echoed across the battlefield, even federal command hesitated — and for a moment, prophecy seemed real.

This isn’t just the story of a cult.
It’s a story about power, fear, and what happens when ideology convinces ordinary people they’re chosen.

Abin Cooper didn’t think he was a villain.
He thought he was history.

On the night of June 2, 2011, the border town of Sangre de Cristo, Arizona was besieged by an undisclosed incident resulting in the grisly massacre of the town's population of 57 residents. The bodies of most residents are never found, and remains of the victims are dismembered and covered with human bite marks.

The police apprehend the lone survivor of the event: Francisco Salazar, town resident, handyman, and amateur photographer, who was caught trying to flee south to Mexico.

Due to him also being a loner, drifter, and having illegally entered the country years before, he is labeled as the prime suspect of the killings.

But evidence showed something more, something monsterous, something unnatural.

This evidence was buried, until now!!!

What happens when intelligence, grief, and bad decisions share the same house.

The Pinborough family believed they were prepared.
Prepared for loss.
Prepared for responsibility.
Prepared to live alongside something they thought they understood.

They were wrong.

This episode examines the events surrounding Ben, a highly intelligent chimpanzee raised as family, and how a single infection turned trust into catastrophe.
As containment fails and help is miles away, survival becomes a race against time, biology, and denial.

This is not a story about a monster.
It’s a story about proximity, arrogance, and what happens when nature doesn’t care how much you love it.

Some families fall apart.
This one was torn apart.

Teddy Gatz’s worldview continues to narrow, hardening into certainty and control.
Around him, warning signs are no longer ignored, they are actively dismissed.

Michelle Fuller’s position becomes far more complicated.
What appears outwardly as agreement masks something else entirely.
Adaptation.
Self-preservation.

This chapter examines how proximity to obsession can force dangerous choices, and how survival sometimes means playing along long enough to get out alive.
As Teddy’s grip tightens and reality closes in, the threat becomes immediate, personal, and unavoidable.

This is no longer about what they believe.
It’s about what that belief demands.

What if the most dangerous conspiracy isn’t aliens among us… but belief taken to its logical extreme?

In this episode, we unravel the chilling story of Teddy Gatz, a man who believed Andromedans were hiding in plain sight and that he alone was chosen to expose them. Through abduction, interrogation, and murder disguised as “research,” Teddy built a private mythology where paranoia became purpose and violence became proof.
