The show you're about to listen to may contain themes of violence, occult activity, strong language, and other sensitive material.

With an emphasis on cults, murder, and other adult matters, listener discretion is advised.

On cult leader, I strive for telling stories in a truthful matter, though press, media, and other resources cannot always be verified.

Sources can be found in the show notes. Hello and welcome back to Cold Leader. I'm your cult leader, Spencer Henry, and you know,

cult babes. It's not very often I find myself completely stuck when it comes to a case with multiple

suspect theories. Okay, I feel like I'm usually leaning in some sort of direction, but today's case

People are still very much split down the middle. And I'm very, very curious to hear your guys'

thoughts on this episode. That being said, today we're going to try and figure out whether an

unknown killer slipped in and out

of a rural farmhouse without a trace, seemingly leaving no evidence behind, or instead,

was it an 11-year-old boy who committed an execution style moida? Yeah, you heard me. An 11-year-old. A child killer. Rare, but not unheard of.

Not by any means. You know I'm a lifetime aficionado. I'm subscribed to the network. I know

there's a whole show called Killer Kids. I think that was on Lifetime. Anyway, back, back, back we go
