Deaths at Wilderness Therapy Programs Part 1

Cold cases, Cults, Murders, Oh My

This is part one of our look into Wilderness therapy programs. There is a disclaimer for this episode. There is talk of abuse of a minor and also the death of a child. So if this is not something you feel comfortable listening to please join us in two weeks because this is a two-part episode. We will look at how they start. How they became what they are today. I will remind everyone not to blame the parents because it's not their fault. They had no clue what was going to happen. We will also look into the death of Aaron Bacon and what happened to him in the wilderness. Come with us to a world of pure depravity as we look into wilderness therapy programs this week. You can email us at [e-mail] if you have any requests thoughts or comments or if you just want to say hi. We would love to hear from you.
