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 cult leader.

I'm your cult leader, Spencer Henry, and if you're new here, you're in for a treat,

because we're bringing back the

most wanted series. Highly requested. I teased it on a recent little leader. It's been years since we've done this kind of episode. So I had to come back with a heavy hitter and let me tell you, 1985 was a wild year for the FBI's most wanted list. I mean, I guess I should have seen it coming, right? The 80s were such a

shit show when it came to the world of crime. We had Richard Ramirez, aka the night stalker,

running rampant in Los Angeles. By the way, we need to revisit. And then we have Gary Ridgeway,

who was solidifying his nickname as the Green River killer, Jeffrey Dahmer's out there trying to turn

his victims into zombies.

It was just a wild time. So it's no surprise that as I started digging into some cases that were

featured on the FBI's infamous most wanted list, that I would be met with some absolute monsters.

But one suspect in particular ended up being pretty much my sole focus. We have multiple

stories today, but we got to talk about this guy. His name was Robert Henry Nicholas. I was

actually surprised to learn how little coverage this case received because it's honestly horrific

and not just horrific in the true crime case with the terrible ending kind of way.

This is one of those stories where every layer you peel back somehow reveals something

darker underneath.

So on to Robert.

I personally believe he suffered from religious psychosis.

And I think he's somebody who wasn't maybe living the most authentic life,
