Description
Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way…well that’s just road kill. On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil.
Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort…but what happens when that world is shattered…
Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the world of Televangelists and cultish child sexual predator, Warren Jeffs.
Seasons 2 and 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we’re traveling to the depths of hell, expanding our realm and covering Preachers, Cult Leaders and Religious Organizations linked to horrific crimes...and some of these cases involve leaders who kidnap, rape and murder the ones who trust them the most.
What if, after leading you in prayer, he lures to the bedroom.
What it the same preacher who captures your heart, kidnaps your child.
What if, the priest serving you communion used those same hands to dispose of a corpse.
These Preachers committed heinous crimes - right under …your…. nose.. - with a bible next to their bed - and a cross around their neck.

This is the unbelievable followup to the Franklin Scandal.Yes if you’re a long time listener you know I did about a 1000 part series back in 2021 on the Franklin scandal. It may have been only 7 eps but you get the point, I was obsessed with it. I wanted to connect the dots, I wanted to solved the unsolved. So when earlier this week, a victim of this scandal, perhaps the most well known one reached out to me and sent me the kindest message I may have ever received…..I cold called her immediately. Well immediately after sobbing bc it was a message that was so heart felt and also one I needed at the time as well.In addition, she has connected me to nick Bryant, the author and unbelievably dedicated and inspiriting journalist that worked on this Franklin scandal story for over a decade and who was also the person to publish the little black book in the Epstein case and who now, has a non profit with Alisha to get justice for child victims of trafficking. It is real, it’s incredibly important and they are doing the work so without further ado…I’d like to introduce my new friend Alisha Owens.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This is a story of women with grit, women who were brave and women who were sometimes, also seductive. This story was inspired by a new podcast out by Neil Strauss where he interviews an actual Russian female sex spy so I decided to look into this world further, the world of sexpionage and how brave and alluring female spies helped to change the course of the second world war.... And likely are still changing the course of politics today.In the stories I’ll tell you today, I start with the most famous of them all, the Kitty Salon, a brothel the Nazi’s took over in order to gain intelligence on other high ranking officials, enemies, frenemies, and beyond.

The story of a man who almost got away with murder had it not been for the suspicions of his wife’s siblings.This is the story of preacher with secrets, a con-man and convicted murderer, Timothy Tillman, was it an accident or an actual murder?

15:19 Finally, I agree with this host on something. I grew up in high desert areas. We had to drive for two hours to buy groceries. Then my dad died, and my mom and I constantly had trouble buying enough food. Wasting of food should be illegal.
Sounds as though it's going to be a good podcast
I hope this guy is a permanent addition to this podcast.
he is very likley on the spectrum and was probably depressed since a symtom of deprresion if you are on the spectrum is a morbid facination with death
8:21
Trying to victim blame men is ok? But don't do it to women. I see, double standards much?
The parents in this case are so friggin weird looking too. That guy's haircut is so strange.
Rachel seems to have forgotten how to tell a story with a beginning middle and end. I am so confused what she is trying to cobble together
please be careful you're doing with the rest of the media does and convicting the Mr Allen in the Delphi case before he's even had a chance to go to court.. it's so crazy because 10 years from now you'll be wanting to do a podcast on how an innocent man Mr Allen was convicted but if he's convicted falsely it will be because of people like you convicting him in the media before court even begins
Guy was a fuckin loser. I have never had a girlfriend, but I have a ton of money. The money means books, video games and great food 24/7. Having a girlfriend is overrated.
oh no, you have GOT to be kidding me. 491 is NOT middle of nowhere. it's a lifeline to people's homes. and what you saw are rez dogs. it's not some paranormal phenomenon, but the consequence of horrible treatment of the Dine people by the US gov't. at least you made some of us laugh at your stupidity
I keep trying with this podcast, but where is the storyline?? I have no idea what this cult is, theor scope, etc. 22 minutes in
So I’m guessing you didn’t marry a white person
14 minutes in and I still don't know who this woman is. what's the story?
Beaumont Texas must have a lot of black people in it for it to be that bad 
I love this whole podcast. but I especially like how sassy you are retelling this episode and how in all your episodes you give the right amount of comedic relief with out it being a turn off
first story: creepy dude knows nothing about revelation! yikes. And Zeldas story, just so scary to be connected to so many shooting. US schools need to do like Israeli schools, they are under constant threat. Many of their teachers are Armed.
#Castbox this episode will Ont play on Castbox.
