Between The Madness - Episode 20 - Under Her Influence - The Polyamorous Cult of Martina Esqueda

Sep 30, 04:00 AM

In Maumee, Ohio, 26 year old Austyn McClellan walked into a gas station and asked a stranger if he could borrow her phone. He hadn't seen his mother in nearly two years, and with several people waiting for him outside, he quietly sent her a message asking her to come get him. Then, Austyn handed the phone back and walked outside. What his mother would soon discover would reveal the disturbing reality of the life her son had been living.
