Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes

Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes explores true stories of belief taken too far: murderous cults, criminal cover-ups, mass manipulation, and the conspiracies that still won’t die. Hosted by Vanessa Richardson, three weekly episodes dig into cases like Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, CIA mind control experiments, and presidential assassinations. This is true crime at the intersection of faith, fear and manipulation. Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes is a Crime House Original, powered by PAVE Studios.
