On January 4, 2022, 64-year-old Sheila Fletcher and her husband, Clay Fletcher, found their 36-year-old daughter Lacey dead on their couch.

Lacey had been diagnosed with social anxiety and severe autism. After this, Sheila and Clay abandoned their daughter on the couch to suffer in her own feces even allowing bugs to eat at her body. Lacey’s death gained world wide media coverage for obvious reasons.

He appeared at her church. He was “funny, romantic, the most sensitive man I’ve ever met,” Wainscott said. “The guy that every girl would want.” Soon they were dating and eating dinner at Red Lobster and watching movies. He would bring toys for her kids. “Very engaging. Down to earth. Nice fellow,” their pastor said. But when a police officer approached her with a photograph she said “That’s John" (her presumed perfect man).

Except he wasn’t. He was Jeffrey Manchester, an escaped convict who had been living for the last six months inside a nearby Toys R Us and Circuit City. But now he was on the run, and detectives needed her help!

In the 1970s, Roch Theriault convinced a small group of people to abandon their lives and possessions and go with him to an isolated community in rural Quebec. After attaining absolute control over his followers, Theriault dictated every part of the Ant Hill Kids' existence, including their clothing, diet, thoughts, communication… and probably most disturbingly, their medical treatments...
