Title: Cult Followers Plot: Exploring the dark history of cult-related atrocities, from the 1995 sarin gas incident in Japan to the infamous Manson killings, we uncover a disturbing truth: the most shocking acts of violence often come not from the leaders, but from devoted followers.

He also confronts Ron Luff, who is serving a life sentence for his role in the brutal murders of the Avery family. What drives ordinary individuals to become agents of such horror?
