EndedDocumentary showCrime

When Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family bathtub one June morning in 2001, the world was left shocked – what could make a young mother do something like that to her own children? In the wake of her confession, it was established Yates was suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis. But while understanding of her mental illness helped illuminate Andrea's struggle prior to the incident, now 25 years later, ID unravels the deeply tangled layers in which a cult can influence vulnerable individuals through manipulation and control by offering unprecedented insight into Michael Woroniecki, a rogue street preacher turned cult leader, and his connection to Andrea Yates.
