Episode Details

World-renowned criminal investigator and creator of Profiling Evil, Mike King, joins Chanley to unpack the chilling takedown of the Zion Society, a secretive polygamous cult led by Arvin Shreeve. Operating behind a suburban facade in Utah, the group practiced belief manipulation, abused women, and subjected children to horrific treatment.

Mike details how a four-week undercover operation inside the cult's lingerie store exposed the truth, leading to hundreds of felony charges and the collapse of the disturbing operation that victimized many. To understand the chilling psychological tactics used by cult leaders and predators, grab Mike King’s book, Deceived.
