Cult Leader Terri Hoffman

Terri Lee Hoffman was an American religious cult leader known for the unexplained deaths of some of her followers, including two husbands, shortly after they had willed their possessions to her. The devotees in her Dallas-based new religious movement, Conscious Development of Body, Mind and Soul, fought against the "black lords" on various planes of existence and protected themselves with powerful gems. Her rise to power was defined by a bunch of tall tales like her claims to possess literal superpowers without backing any of it up. Eventually, the feds got her on the old Al Capone charge. Were her followers just really unlucky after they took out life insurance policies naming her as the beneficiary?
