The Family of David | The Prophet and the Eleventh Floor

In May 1977, Immanuel and Rachel David moved their seven children into an eleventh-floor suite at Salt Lake City’s International Dunes Hotel. The children rarely ventured outside, received no conventional schooling, and appeared to live entirely within the world their father had constructed. Born Charles Bruce Longo, Immanuel David claimed to be a prophet and eventually declared himself to be God. Around twenty people accepted his teachings, contributed money, and became members of what became known as the Family of David. As federal investigators examined fraudulent fundraising connected to his followers, Immanuel disappeared into the mountains outside Salt Lake City. Three days later, Rachel gathered the couple’s seven children inside their hotel suite. Before that morning ended, the David family would become the center of one of the darkest and most haunting events in Utah history. This episode examines the rise of Immanuel David, the isolation of his family, and the beliefs that continued to exert their influence long after his death.

The Secret She Couldn’t Keep: The Tomaselli Recordings | Part 7 | Granddaughter Lauren's Account

A NOTE BEFORE LISTENING: Lauren is Mary-Beth Tomaselli’s daughter and Anthony Tomaselli’s granddaughter. She had been staying with Anthony and helping care for him, and she was inside his home on the night he died. According to investigators, Lauren was given a sleeping pill so she would remain asleep and not witness what happened. In this final installment, Lauren discusses her relationship with her grandfather, her role in caring for him, and what she remembers about the circumstances surrounding his death. Her interview offers a uniquely personal and firsthand perspective on the events examined throughout this series. Please listen to Parts 1 through 6 before continuing. This seven-part series features the secretly recorded conversations that helped expose the truth behind Anthony Tomaselli’s death. Crimeatorium obtained the recordings from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Four years after 85 year old Anthony Tomaselli’s death was attributed to natural causes, his daughter Linda Roberts invited a man she had been dating to her home and entrusted him with a disturbing secret about her father’s final night. Realizing the enormity of what Linda was telling him, the man discreetly began recording their conversation. What started as a private confession would lead investigators back to a death no one had questioned.
