Murder At Ryan's exposes the darkest, deepest secrets that lay just beneath the surface of The Move Organization's public perception. Within the groups ranks, members endured unspeakable abuse, victims of a cultic system created by leader Vincent Leaphart in 1972. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date story of MOVE told by the people who lived and survived it - ex-members known as AFRICAS and others with first hand accounts of bizarre beliefs, abuse, terror campaigns, violence, destruction, millions of dollars and the loss of more than a dozen lives including 7 children. FBI documents, internal cult communications, obtained audio tapes and photos on social media.
*This is a serialized podcast and Season 1 is produced with real time reporting coordinated with the cult escape of a young mother and her 5 children.
