What happens when a family’s deep-rooted faith collides with mental illness? Join us as we uncover the harrowing story of Jeremy Perkins, whose mental health struggles and his family's unwavering belief in Scientology led to a devastating tragedy. This episode takes a critical look at the Perkins family's decision to shun traditional psychiatric treatment in favor of the controversial practices endorsed by their religion, which ultimately set the stage for an unthinkable act of violence.

Explore the life of Ellie Perkins, a compassionate woman whose dedication to Scientology and her artistic endeavors left an indelible mark on her community. We'll recount her journey from the vibrant counterculture of the 1960s to her successful glass painting business in Western New York. However, her tragic death at the hands of her son raises profound questions about the intersection of faith and mental health. Through first-hand accounts and investigative insights, we aim to understand how a different approach to mental health could have perhaps altered the course of events.
