Full Episode
Drowning, freak accidents, double suicides, murder. A dozen people from Dallas, Texas died mysteriously. All of them had one person in common, a spiritual leader by the name of Terry Hoffman.
That woman has always been a black cloud over our lives.
The more I learned, the more I began to wonder, is Terry Hoffman the Charlie Manson you've never heard of? These shark eyes, those cold, dark eyes.
The most sophisticated sociopath I've ever observed. Left behind a series of bizarre diaries and writings associated with Terry Hoffman and a group she founded called the Conscious Development of Body, Mind, and Soul, Inc.,
Bodies are piling up, and she's cashing in.
There is no doubt that she killed him.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars, property, and land.
Really see how evil she really was, like heartless. The payoff was going to be in the other spiritual realms. It was not going to be here.
And the deeper I get into this thing, the weirder it gets.
