As the years went on, life inside the commune grew darker. The rules tightened, the punishments worsened, and the man once seen as a prophet became something far more terrifying. What began as devotion turned to desperation as his followers endured unimaginable cruelty at his hands. In Part 2, Megan explores the final descent of the Ant Hill Kids, the escalating violence, the horrifying crimes, and the moment when the unthinkable finally happened.
