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. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

The Niagara Murder - Canadian True Crime Story
News of the Times Episode 350 | 1890
In 1890, Canada was fending off what it perceived as influx of immigrants who had come only to be involved in crime.
Enter Regnald Birchall and wife, a once promising student, sports enthusiast, and sketch artist turned committed gambler and con artist.
In a previous ploy: he and his wife as Lord and Lady Somerset, ran up as many bills as they could feasibly do before they were caught, then they made good their escape.
His latest ploy: convince people of prosperous farm opportunities in Canada. Bring them over and then…what to do with them once he has extracted their money?
This story captivated both the Canadian and English press and public. In England, large rooms fitted with a telegraph were created so that paying public could listen to the latest telegrams from Canda regarding the details of the murder.
Within Canda, the whole of the town came to a standstill as people came from miles around to force their way into the courthouse to watch the drama unfold.
We look at the background, the crime, and the aftermath of the Niagara Murder in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
To our Canadian friends, belated Happy Canada Day!
