10 to Life

Inside a secluded desert community, new “prophecies” are being whispered, children are disappearing, and a fractured religious empire is tightening its grip once again. Warren Jeffs may be behind bars, and Samuel Bateman has now been sentenced to decades in federal prison, yet their influence continues to ripple through the group they left behind.  In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about the FLDS, from the origins of Jeffs’ power to Bateman’s rise and arrest, all the way through the latest revelations, missing-children cases, and the loyal inner circle still carrying out their commands. .

Fourteen years after 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau was found hanging, naked, bound, and gagged behind the Spreckels Mansion in Coronado, the mystery surrounding her death remains as unsettling as the day it happened. Officials ruled it a suicide, just as they labeled the fall of her boyfriend’s 6-year-old son, an incident that occurred only two days earlier, an accident. But Rebecca’s family has never accepted that explanation. Their relentless search for answers has uncovered strange evidence, disputed timelines, explosive accusations, and claims of a botched investigation they say still hides the truth. As new voices step forward and old questions resurface, revisit one of California’s most haunting and controversial cases… .
