Description: Hannah and Patia discuss the 1996 murder at Mountain Park Baptist Boarding Academy, where 16-year-old William Futrelle—new to the school—was killed by fellow students. They unpack the trial of Joseph Burris, who was charged with Futrelle’s murder, and examine the disturbing environment that enabled the crime. We also cover what happened with Bethesda Home for Girls, Bob and Betty Wills’ earlier “troubled teen” program in Mississippi, which was eventually shut down by the state.  LA Times - https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-oct-04-me-39141-story.html  https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-oct-05-mn-39651-story.html  Bethesda Home for Girls: https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/bethesda-home-girls-stolen-babies/  Cult Education Institute: https://www.culteducation.com/group/1059-mountain-park-baptist-church-and-boarding-academy/14571-insiders-tell-of-boarding-school-past-and-present.html See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
