Real Life American Monster

from [Cult]ure Shock Hosted by Kendra Lee Bryan

Shannon Au was featured on Investigation Discovery's 'American Monster' in January 2023. Shannon endured spiritual abuse, church hurt, and cptsd in the years leading up to her mom’s brutal de*th in 2002. Shannon speaks out about the haunting memory of her mother's k*ller, who deliberately leveraged his position as a police officer and church leader to inflict years of physical and psychological tort*re on her and her family. We explore the details of the case and the potential early release of the ex-cop who was convicted of the m*rder. However, the main focus is on Shannon's story and the dangers of religious ab*se within churches and families and spiritual ab*se healing. Sources and Press: American Monster "Gone Hunting", Season 9, Episode 10 on Discovery Plus and Amazon Prime This was the first guest episode ever released on [Cult]ure Shock.
