Show Notes
Cult leader Jim Jones promised the congregation of the Peoples Temple 'Heaven on Earth' in the form of the Jonestown commune in Guyana. However, the cult would come to a deadly end on November 18th, 1978, with the forced suicide of over 900 men, women, and children.
Retired San Francisco Police Captain Yulanda Williams was only 12 years old when her family joined The Peoples Temple. She shares how she was able to escape Jonestown before the infamous massacre, and how her survival shaped the rest of her life.
