Episode 15: Murder Summer

from Building Utopia: Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Hosted by Rusty King

Murder is in the air at Rajneeshpuram during the summer of 1985. We track the commune leaders' audacious plots to assassinate public officials and commune members they felt were enemies, including U.S. Attorney for Oregon, Charles Turner, and Bhagwan's closest companion, Vivek. The events culminate in Sheela making a drastic decision. BOOK NEWS: For a limited time, my publisher is extending a 25% discount on my book, Rajneeshpuram: Inside the Cult of Bhagwan and Its Failed American Utopia, to listeners of Building Utopia.
