Episode Description from the Publisher

In the fall of 1984, 751 people in a small Oregon town got violently sick, and nobody knew it was deliberate. In the third and final part of our 3-part series on the Rajneesh cult, Katie Ring covers the unraveling of Rajneeshpuram, the criminal empire investigators found behind its gates, and how the woman who masterminded America's largest bioterror attack walked free after just two and a half years.Head over to our America’s Most Infamous Crimes YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/@AmericasMostInfamousCrimesIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow America’s Most Infamous Crimes to never miss a case!
