Cleansed: An Amish Murder Story

It’s become a cliché in the telling of murder stories that someone
will always say “This kind of thing just doesn’t happen here.”
Somehow, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, we’re good
at convincing ourselves that there are safe zones…places that are
immune to the darker shades of the human soul. Most of us—at least,
the ones who make a study of darkness—know better by now. But even
for us, there are some communities that do seem unlikely to wind up
on a true crime podcast. Unlikely, maybe. But nevertheless, here we
are. Join us for a story of devotion, deception, lust and betrayal,
against the unexpected backdrop of the Amish country.
