The Paranoia Pair

In this episode we learn about the forgotten city of Oscarville. A once thriving black community that was eradicated by a white mob fueled by racism and violence. It was either refuse to leave and die or die running for your life. Decades later the land was bought out by the government and flooded to create Lake Lanier, burying the town and its history with it.

In Part 2 of the Mormon Manson we pick up after Ervil slips through the raid in Mexico and things only get darker from here.

We follow the fallout, the tightening grip of Ervil’s control, the escalating violence, and the creation of the infamous hit list he left behind after his death. From internal purges to cross border assassinations and the unraveling of the cult’s final loyal members.

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!
