River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm.

Prepare to journey back to 1954, as we unravel a tale of love, betrayal and mystery in the quiet town of Amesbury, Massachusetts. This episode is brimming with scandal, heartbreak, and the chilling disappearance of Melvin Clark, Jr. We pull back the curtain on the Clark family's troubled marriage, revealing a young couple's struggle to create a life together amidst financial pressures. Listen as we uncover the gritty details of Lorraine Clark's affair and the chain of events that led to Mel's mysterious vanishing act.
Our investigation takes us deep into the shocking 'swap-mate' scandal that reverberated across this seemingly ordinary town. We dissect the strange circumstances that unfolded, from the fight between Lorraine and Mel that fateful April night, to the unsettling discovery of Mel's car and the stench of benzene that lingered in the trunk.
