Bob and Ali interview retired law enforcement investigator and criminal profiler Mike King about his new podcast Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult, releasing as Season 5 of American Nightmares on the Gamut Podcast Network. Mike led the 1991 investigation that brought down the Zion Society — a secretive cult of over 100 members hiding in plain sight in Ogden, Utah, where children were groomed for abuse under the direction of self-proclaimed prophet Arvin Shreeve. With 40+ years in law enforcement, FBI ViCAP advisory board experience, and his book Deceived as the foundation, Mike takes us inside the investigation, the raid, the prosecution, and why survivors reconnected decades later to tell their story. Mike is donating all proceeds from Gardens of Evil to child advocacy charities.Subscribe to Gardens of Evil wherever you listen. New episodes every Tuesday.
