## Resource

True Crime: The Court of Public Opinion - Under the Influence - Ant Hill Kids Cult In this chilling three-part series, Alexis Knight delves into the horrifying story of the Ant Hill Kids, a cult led by the sadistic Roch Thériault. Unlike other cults, this case challenges the assumption that followers are inherently vulnerable. Instead, we explore how Thériault manipulated seemingly ordinary individuals, turning them into participants in a nightmare of violence and control. As we uncover the psychological tactics he used to break down his followers’ identities and push them to commit unimaginable acts, we’ll examine the terrifying power of influence and how it can lead even the most normal people to the brink of madness. #terrifyingtruecrime, #darkhistory, #cultmadness Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alexis-knight-l-facts-first-clarity-always--6292057/support .
