In part 1 we cover how Ervil LeBaron went from "fundamentalist royalty" to "unhinged cult leader," earning the nickname 'The Mormon Manson". We cover family drama, blood atonement nonsense, the murder of Ervil's brother Joel, and the chaos that followed. And then we end on a raid in Mexico where police literally find Ervil, look at him and go "there's no way these people are listening to this loser" and arrest his bestie, Dan Jordan, instead. And the crazy thing is, this is only half of it!
