River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

*This episode deals with a crime committed against a child. Please exercise self-care when choosing to listen.
At 8.30pm on Wednesday 22nd April 1981, 15 year old Kelly Cook left her house in the village of Standard, Alberta for the last time. She got into a waiting car driven by a man she had never before met and disappeared into the night. That morning Kelly had received a phone call from a man who said his name was Bill Christensen. He was looking for a babysitter and told Kelly she had been highly recommended. They agreed that he would pick her up later and have her home by midnight. Kelly was never seen alive again. This tragic case is one of Canada's most baffling and disturbing unsolved crimes.
