## Resource

The Finders Cult became the subject of a federal investigation in the 1980s after two men were discovered with six children in Tallahassee, Florida. What followed was an FBI case file filled with strange details, unanswered questions, and decades of speculation. In this episode, we examine the declassified FBI documents, the group’s unusual activities, alleged intelligence connections, and what the official records actually reveal.
