55. COLD-BLOODED CULT: Roch Thériault and The Ant Hill Kids - Part 1 (Quebec)

*WARNING: This episode contains scenes that some listeners may find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.  PART 1: In 1977, a small commune was formed by a charismatic man from southern Quebec who believed he was a messenger from God. But it wouldn’t take long until their dreams would come crashing down and they were living their worst nightmares suffering daily torture and abuse from their leader. This self-proclaimed messiah controlled his followers with so much fear, he could make them break their own legs with a sledgehammer. And that wasn’t even the worst of it. This was no messenger from God; this was pure evil. Tune in as Lisa and Chelle discuss the case of Roch Theriault and the Ant Hill Kids.
