The Australian Family Cult That Vanished Overnight
In 2007, a family of three and their friend vanished from their secluded home in Nannup, Western Australia, leaving only a cryptic note claiming they had moved to Brazil. They never arrived. As investigators delved into the lives of Chantelle McDougall, her partner Simon Cadwell, their daughter Leela, and friend Tony Popic, they uncovered a web of doomsday prepping and cult-like spiritual beliefs. Was this a voluntary disappearance to a "higher plane," or something far more sinister? LINKS Listen to Expanse: The Nannup Four here.
