The Skeleton Key Chronicles

There’s a new documentary dropping next week that dives into the Twelve Tribes, a religious movement that began in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the early 1970s before eventually expanding into communal settlements across the United States and overseas.

At first glance, the group appeared to be a close-knit religious community. In places like Island Pond, Vermont, members lived together and operated businesses connected to the community, including the Yellow Deli and the Common Sense Café.

But over the years former members began sharing accounts of what life inside the communities was like, describing a tightly structured environment and raising allegations about strict disciplinary practices and other internal rules.

Without giving too much away for anyone unfamiliar with the story, the special revisits the accounts shared by former members and the questions that have followed the group for years.

The two-hour special, People Magazine Investigates: The Secrets of the Twelve Tribes Cult, airs on Investigation Discovery on Monday, March 16 at 9 p.m. ET and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Office says the large-scale search for a missing 9-year-old girl last seen in the Florence area has ended.

After about 25 hours of coordinated search efforts involving multiple law enforcement agencies and volunteers, officials say the case has now been transferred to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.

Search teams in Boone County had been working non-stop after a 9-year-old girl was reported missing Friday evening.

Investigators say Jenny Din was last seen around 5:30 p.m. in the area of Macintosh Lane walking toward Afton Drive. Police later issued an Ian Alert, a notification similar to an Amber Alert that is used when a missing child has autism.

Deputies, officers, and volunteers have been going door to door and asking residents to review home security cameras for anything that might help determine where Jenny went after she was last seen.

Authorities are also urging neighbors to check around their own property, including inside vehicles, sheds, under decks, and other small spaces where a child might try to shelter.

Jenny is described as about 4 feet 4 inches tall and weighing around 53 pounds. She was last seen wearing a mint-colored jacket and pink headphones and had no shoes on. Temperatures in the area dropped into the 30s overnight.

Anyone who may have seen Jenny or noticed anything unusual in the area is asked to contact the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. … See MoreSee Less

The FBI has joined the search in New Mexico for a retired U.S. Air Force major general connected to one of the most advanced research laboratories and even mentioned in UFO research.

The last time anyone reported seeing McCasland was the morning of February 27th in a neighborhood near Quail Run Court in northeast Albuquerque. After that, no one seems to know where he went or even what he was wearing that day.

McCasland, 68, spent decades in the U.S. Air Force and eventually retired as a two-star general. During his career he served as commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, an organization responsible for coordinating many of the military’s advanced science and technology programs.

That base has long been part of UFO lore dating back to 1947, when debris recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico was reportedly transported there for examination.

McCasland’s name also came up several years ago when musician and researcher Tom DeLonge said he had communicated with the general while asking questions about unidentified aerial phenomena. McCasland himself has never publicly commented on those claims.

For now, investigators in Albuquerque are still trying to figure out what happened after McCasland was last seen that morning.
