That's a Bad Sign

Jonestown cult / mass suicide and Teka Adams fetal abduction


Listen Later

We got cults on our minds! Jim Jones, a seemingly normal American preacher, starts a cult and convinces 918 followers to move to South America. Some argue the cult ended with mass suicide while others say it was mass murder. Listen to episode 8 and decide for yourself. Then hear about a rare, but brutal, crime known as a "fetal abduction." Teka Adams, a soon to be mother, survives a kidnapping and attempted c-section by Veronica Deramous. This story shows just how far some women will go to have a baby, and how far mothers will go to protect their children.
