LIVE: Is the FLDS Cycle Finally Breaking? | Part 3

LIVE: Is the FLDS Cycle Finally Breaking? | Part 3

Author: Hidden Killers Podcast April 16, 2026 Duration: 19:46

The final segment of our live three-part panel on the Bateman case and Netflix's Trust Me: The False Prophet. Parts 1 and 2 covered how he built it and what it did to the people inside. Now we're talking about what happens next — and whether "next" means healing or repetition.

Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott are back with Tony for the conversation about the future of Short Creek. The FLDS has survived everything the justice system has thrown at it. Jeffs is still calling shots from prison. The theology is intact. Children are still being raised inside the system. So is this over, or are we waiting for the sequel?

We're talking about Faith Bistline raising the girls her brothers gave to Bateman. About what intervention actually looks like for kids still inside a high-control group. About whether the FLDS is structurally different from cults that collapsed when their leader fell. And we're asking both experts the question you've been sitting with since the documentary ended: is this cycle breakable?

Last call for your live questions. This is where we land.
