About this listen
Intro In the quiet hills of Tenerife, a father and son convinced themselves they were divine instruments of a holy cleansing. But the "purification" they sought required the ritualistic slaughter of their own flesh and blood, leaving a family destroyed in the name of a twisted faith.
The Case In this episode of The Twisted Truth, we step inside the isolated world of Harald and Frank Alexander. We explore the descent into a shared psychotic disorder that led them to believe Frank was a prophet destined to save his family through violence. We’ll examine the psychological brainwashing of the sole survivor, Sabine, and the terrifying intersection between esoteric cults and mental illness on the Canary Islands. Finally, we track the aftermath: a high-profile insanity trial, a daring psychiatric hospital escape in the 90s, and the lingering shadow of the Atman Foundation.
Closing To explore the thin line between devotion and delusion, subscribe to The Twisted Truth on Podbean or your preferred streaming service. If this case left you questioning the power of the mind, please leave us a review to help others find the truth.
