I just finished listening to the latest Behind the Bastards episodes, and was quite surprised to find this was one of the least bastardly subjects in the history of the podcast. In it, Robert Evans mentioned that none of the children have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse (or with any allegations at all).

So, how was it living with Marion Pettie and his utopian experiment?

    I will be surprised if you find someone on here who had that experience - but yeah weird episode. I had never heard of them at all. Sounds like the guy was just some kind of charismatic prankster but the mysteriousness of it all makes me wonder how he got such a substantial following.

      I’d be surprised if any of them respond, but you never know, right?

      I had heard of them from a salacious true crime YouTube video. That one really leaned into the conspiracy and took all the police’s wildest conclusions at face value.
