## Resource

In 1980s Miami, a self proclaimed messiah built a sprawling religious empire on the backs of society's most vulnerable, offering food and belonging in exchange for total obedience. Behind the temples and tidy storefronts lay a decade long campaign of beheadings, mutilations, and silenced witnesses, all carried out in his name. This is the true story of Yahweh Ben Yahweh, and the investigators who risked everything to bring him down.
