River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm.

Kelly Anne Bates was a 17-year-old English girl who tragically lost her life in Manchester, England, at the hands of her abuser, James Patterson Smith. Over a harrowing four-week period, she endured severe torture, which included the horrific act of having her eyes forcibly removed from their sockets up to three weeks prior to her death, culminating in her drowning in a bathtub.
The investigation into her murder was led by Detective Sergeant Joseph Monaghan of Greater Manchester Police, who remarked, In my 15 years of service, I have never encountered a case as appalling as this." William Lawler, the pathologist who conducted the examination of Bates' remains, characterized her injuries as the most severe he had ever observed in a murder victim.
