Patreon.com/thenickbryantpodcast for the full episode and two extra episodes a month! Elizabeth Vos is a journalist who has written extensively on the cult known as the "Finders." In 1987, two members of the Finders were arrested for the abuse and neglect of six feral children in Tallahassee, Florida. The two Finders were charged with multiple accounts of child abuse. A search warrant was then executed on the Finders wearhouse in Washington, DC. Law enforcement found child pornography and evidence of the Finders purchasing children. The CIA quashed the investigation into the Finders, and the two Finders who had been jailed were released and all child abuse charges were dropped. The CIA has subsequently disavowed all connections to the Finders. Vos has taken a deep dive into the Finders and their connections to the CIA and published a 3-part series of articles on the cult. Today she tells us about her experience. nickbryantnyc.com Documents discussed: https://nickbryantnyc.com/u-s-news-on-the-finders https://nickbryantnyc.com/police-report-on-finders https://nickbryantnyc.com/customs-report-on-finders Elizabeth's Article: https://www.mintpressnews.com/the-finders-cia-ties-child-sex-cult-obscured-media-coverage/277543/

This episode of The Nick Bryant Podcast features Alisha Owen, one of the victims of the Franklin Credit Union Scandal of the 1980s in Omaha, Nebraska. Sexually trafficked as an adolescent and set up for a prison bid, Alisha spoke out about her perpetrators and became an enemy of the state. State and federal grand juries indicted her on 16 counts of perjury, and she was staring at 200 years in prison, but she refused to recant accounts of her abuse. A Nebraska state Kangaroo Court found her guilty on all counts of perjury, and she was sentenced to between 9 and 15 years in prison. The authorities really attempted to destroy her by placing her in solitary for nearly 2 years. This is her first ever podcast interview. Alisha demonstrates that people can have spirits that are indestructible. nickbryantnyc.com
