Cult Liter With Spencer Henry

This week we’re looking into the story of a trucker-turned-prophet who used the villainous teachings of an evil reverend to build up a cult following of doomsday-preppers...how’s that for a sentence? In the 1980’s the small community of Rulo, Nebraska was disrupted by Mike Ryan and his cult followers who had built out a compound on a nearby hog farm. It wasn’t long before a string of thievery and moidah brought them down!Write me: spencer@cultliter.comSpencer Henry PO Box 18149 Long Beach CA 90807 Follow along online: instagram.com/cultliterpodcastJoin our patreon: Patreon.com/cultliterCheck out my other show OBITCHUARY wherever you’re listening now! Sources: https://thecinemaholic.com/where-are-dennis-ryan-and-timothy-haverkamp-now/https://www.oxygen.com/deadly-cults/crime-time/yahweh-nebraska-farmers-cults-slavery-torture-sodomy-murderhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/889062089/?terms=Mike%20Ryan&match=1https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_W._Ryan‘ID Evil Lives Here’ https://www.iowap
