    Mendocino County Stories: Jim Jones & The Peoples Temple

    Mendocino County Stories: Jim Jones & The Peoples Temple

    Infamous cult leader Jim Jones told his congregation in Indiana that the world would be engulfed by nuclear war on July 15, 1967, leading to a new socialist Eden on Earth, and that the Peoples Temple must move to Northern California for safety. During 1964, Jones made multiple trips to California to find a suitable location to relocate. In July 1965, Jones and his followers began moving to their new location in Redwood Valley, California near the city of Ukiah.
    Jones and his followers were aggressively recruiting new members and many people in the Ukiah area, including our parents, were approached about coming to a "meeting" or a "service" at some point in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

    Mendocino County Stories: Steven Staynor & Timmy White Kidnappings

    Mendocino County Stories: Steven Staynor & Timmy White Kidnappings

    These events took place in and around our hometown of Ukiah, California. In 1972 Kenneth Parnell kidnapped 7 year old Steven Staynor as he walked home from school in Merced California. He told Steven his parents didn't want him anymore and that they had given custody of him to Parnell. In 1976 Parnell moved with Steven to the remote town of Comptche northwest of Ukiah. In 1979 they moved to Manchester, another remote town near the Mendocino coast. On Valentine's Day 1980, 5 year old Timmy White was kidnapped by Parnell walking to his babysitter's house after Kindergarten. He brought Timmy back to the remote cabin where he lived with Steven. Not wanting Timmy to endure the same pain and abuse as he had, while Parnell was working a nightshift Steven heroically set out on foot with Timmy to return him to his home in Ukiah.

Worth a listen

I will listen occasionally and like it fine but your season 3 ep 1 podcast bothered me. As someone who’s had multiple miscarriages, people should tell WHENEVER they want. A miscarriage is devastating. Why shouldn’t a woman have support? Why should it be hidden like a shameful secret? Having the love and support of people who care means so much. It’s 2023 ~ tell when you want and don’t feel ashamed or grieve in silence of you loss a child Another issues ~ their Scott Peterson take is odd. Yes, test the van dna for sure. But they’re talking like he was for sure innocent. There’s still a lot pointing to him. He deserves a fair trail so if possible exculpatory evidence is available, absolutely look into it. But y’all are taking it too far

Casually and horrifically insensitive

I so want to like this podcast. The premise is brilliant, and I’ve listened to almost every episode. But you two have lost me with your very casual and deeply harmful comments. Tess, as a psychotherapist you have a lot of outrageously insensitive takes. Recently you said “ashley is not as heterosexual as she thinks…” like no babe, she bi and has said she’s bi and you have to take her at her word. To refer to a bisexual person as heterosexual or not as heterosexual as she thinks is plays right in to negative stereotypes. I hope you don’t have any queer people in your care.
