Description: In this episode, journalist Jesse Hyde explores how key members of Ervil’s cult were recruited, and how they morphed into a sophisticated organized crime family. In 1977, when the group failed to extort money from a high-profile target, Ervil sets his most audacious attack into motion: a double murder intended to take out his biggest rivals. Dorothy Allred Solomon provides commentary on growing up in polygamy and the assassination of her father, Dr. Rulon C. Allred, at the hands of Ervil LeBaron.
