What's up, everybody?

Welcome back to another episode of Lights Out.

I'm your host, Josh.

And I'm your host, Austin.

And I'm the producer, Daniel.

And today we've got a horrible, horrible tragedy we're going to be covering.

This case has been on my radar for a long time and has been one I've wanted to dig into.

But for just the sheer...

sadness and just tragedy of this case.

I've just kind of stayed away from it for a long time until recently when a new documentary came out and it mentioned a cult being involved with this family story.

It kind of piqued my interest a little bit because I was like, wait a minute, I had never really heard about there being some sort of cult connection.

I always knew that the family was religious and that there was definitely some more extreme religious views there, but I didn't really understand the full extent of

What this sort of extreme Christian cult, its role that it played in this tragedy, it's honestly just crazy.

I mean, it's hard to even wrap your head around even today.

But we're going to be talking about the Andrea Yates story.

This is a woman in Texas in 2001 who drowned her five children.

one by one, which is just horrible.

Something that's hard to even comprehend or wrap your head around.

And this case just absolutely took the entire nation by storm, even the world by storm.

I mean, this is just something almost unheard of before.
