In episode two of Mapping Evil, recorded in Australia with journalist Tori Shepherd, we pull apart the spider's web of cult control, starting with Mike's own case: the Zion Society, a polygamous doomsday cult operating in Ogden, Utah. It began when a woman walked into his office and said her cult was sexually abusing children. The spider at the center was Arvin Shreeve, a 61-year-old landscaper and self-proclaimed prophet who built his compound in plain sight, buying up houses in a closed community as they came for sale. Early GIS mapping tracked which homes the group was swallowing, house by house. When 70 officers finally hit those homes at once, 32 children went into protective custody and investigators uncovered thousands of counts of sexual assault. Twelve people went to prison, including Shreeve. We also cross the Pacific to Australia's most infamous cult, The Family under Anne Hamilton-Byrne, and to NXIVM, where Keith Raniere's self-help empire ended in a 120-year sentence. Through all three cases, Mike lays out what actually defines a cult: it's not the beliefs, it's the structure, everything pointed inward at the leader instead of outward at the people. He shares the red flags that matter, secrecy first among them, and practical advice for protecting vulnerable people and teaching children to question everything. #ZionSociety #Shreeve #OgdenUtah #TheFamily #AnneHamiltonByrne #LakeEildon #LexdeMan #NXIVM #KeithRaniere #FrankParlato #cult #cultleader #doomsdaycult #childabuse #ToriShepherd #MappingEvil #Esri #ArcGIS #crimemapping #CrimeAnalysis #GIS #map #Mapping #Maps #profiling #crime #criminal #criminalbehavior ======================================== Get 20% Off at www.Newspapers.com/profilingevil ======================================== Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store
