This episode of Encounters with Evil exposes the twisted Cult leaders and false prophets who, through a mix of fear and brain washing, led their followers to horrific ends. From the needless and bloody show down at Waco where the followers of the self proclaimed, "Son of God" David Koresh died in an apocalypse of their leaders making.

The stories of individuals who do the unthinkable and kill those closest to them - family killers. Starting with Michell Quy, a newly married man who, when his wife goes missing, spins a web of lies in the media to deflect the police from the grisly truth. Jeremy Bamber, the unlikely killer who murdered three generations of his family. And finally, Stuart Hazel, convicted of abusing and killing his partner's granddaughter and hiding her body in their attic.
