On this episode of Into The Fire: A True-Crime Podcast, our host Sean talks about Jim Jones and the Jonestown mass suicides. In an event termed a “revolutionary suicide” by Jones and some Peoples Temple members, 918 individuals died in Jonestown Guyana that day.
The poisonings in Jonestown was the results of the murder of five others by Temple members at Port Kaituma, including US Congressman Leo Ryan. It was an assassination ordered by Jim Jones.
This is a tale of extreme cultism, religion, kool aid and human mind control.
