    The Radio Still Broadcasts. He's Been Jailed Two Years

    Imagine finding a working radio on a cold trail, broadcasting from a station that's been silent for nearly a year, its speaker carrying the voice of a man jailed for two. How could a system so carefully engineered compel people to give up their savings, jobs, and relationships without ever being directly asked?

    In this episode, we uncover the story of "The Attending," a system built by a man named Howard Hensley in a high desert town in eastern Oregon. We explore how this community functioned, who paid the highest price, and what was revealed when it finally collapsed.

    Person: Donald Ray Pevey (aka Howard Hensley)
    Date: January 14, 2019
    Location: Saddleback Nature Trail, Terrel Flats, Oregon
    Event: Discovery of a working radio broadcasting from a silent station

    - On January 14, 2019, a dog groomer found a working transistor radio on Saddleback Nature Trail.
    - The radio was broadcasting on 1440 AM, a station silent for over eleven months.
    - The voice belonged to a man who had been in federal custody for nearly two years.
    - Nicole Lane contributed approximately twenty-two thousand dollars and moved to the Faber Loop property at age forty-nine.
    - By spring of 2013, roughly two dozen people lived on the sixty-three-acre Faber Loop property.

    The Nine Words That Unlocked a Homeschool Cult

    Imagine a child's uneven handwriting on a binder, found floating in a river, that reads: "my name is Nora. and I am nine and we are not allowed to leave." This chilling message, discovered by a trotline fisher, ultimately led to a man's fourteen-year prison sentence. How did these nine words expose a hidden community where twenty-two children had not seen the outside world in years?

    In this episode, we uncover the story of a homeschool cooperative that transformed into a closed compound in Aldine County, Missouri. We explore how one family was drawn into this isolated world and how a nine-year-old's desperate plea became the key to unraveling it all.

    Person: Cynthia West
    Date: December 9, 2019
    Location: Pellucid River, Aldine County, Missouri
    Object: Navy blue three-ring binder
    Sentence: "my name is Nora. and I am nine and we are not allowed to leave."

    - A trotline fisher found a navy blue three-ring binder in the Pellucid River at 6:52 AM.
    - The binder contained 41 handwritten pages of curriculum and a typed cover sheet.
    - A nine-year-old's message, written in pencil, was found on the back of the binder.
    - Twenty-two children had not seen the outside world for up to two and a half years.
    - The curriculum inside the binder was copied from a pamphlet printed in 1948.

    The Ledger That Sank a Cult

    Imagine a notebook, sealed in freezer bags, surviving four feet of seawater to reveal a hidden truth. This isn't just a story of survival; it's the unraveling of a closed community and the cult leader who built it on a fabricated past. What secrets could forty-one pages of compact handwriting expose about the Tidebound Cooperative?

    In this episode, we explore the quiet, systematic removal of choices within the Tidebound Cooperative, a group built on shared labor and borrowed trust. We delve into the life of Angela Morgan, a woman who spent her adult life working the Oregon coast and found herself entangled in a system that resisted simple framing.

    Person: Angela Morgan
    Date: November 14, 2019
    Location: Pelletier Flats, Oregon coast
    Organization: Tidebound Cooperative
    Founder: Grant Foster

    - A county surveyor found a composition notebook wedged inside a hollow fence post.
    - The notebook contained forty-one pages of compact, left-leaning handwriting.
    - Angela Morgan was 38 years old when she joined the cooperative.
    - Grant Foster, the founder, was 44 years old in 2019.
    - Members handed in their phones each evening and received them back each morning.
