TRIGGER WARNING: HEAVY THEMES OF SUICIDE

In 1985, group leader Bonnie Lu Nettles died of cancer, leaving her companion Marshall Applewhite to run the group as a one man show. As the ideology changed, so did Marshall, twisting the group's perspective into something far more apocalyptic. When a comet came into Earth’s orbit, the group members viewed this as their ticket to the Next Level. This week is part two and the final part of Heaven’s Gate: America’s UFO Cult.
