Welcome to the very first episode of Wild Society!

In 1929, Benny Evangelist, his wife and four children are brutally murdered by an ax in their Detroit home. Detroit’s best detectives are assigned to the case to solve the brutal massacre in the country’s fourth largest city. The case quickly takes a bizarre turn when police uncover that Evangelist is a self-described prophet, spiritual leader and mystical healer. Suspects include a rival cult, his parishioners, neighbors and a possible psychopath roaming the streets. In part two of this episode, we dive deep into the life of Marilyn Monroe, and discuss the many conspiracies surrounding her death.
