Yesterday, Mama Mia True Crime Conversation and Apple Podcast published an interview with Frank that gave some new details about the Lost Women – and the sinister suspect in their demise, Nxivm founder, Keith Alan Raniere.

Much that is discussed was not seen in the film.

It also aired on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-conversations/id1469153910?i=1000471591914


Here is how True Crime introduced the podcast:

The rise and fall of Keith Raniere and the now-defunct NXIVM cult is one of the most disturbing scandals of our age. What began as a purported self-help group spiralled into a dark, secretive world of illicit sex, money laundering, and exploitation, all at the hands of founder Keith Raniere and his accomplices. Additionally, several women involved with the NXIVM founder died or disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

A former NXIVM publicist turned investigative journalist, Frank Parlato, explores the case in this episode. Frank’s documentary, The Lost Women Of NXIVM, takes a deep dive to answer the questions surrounding the tragic deaths and mysterious disappearances of four women who all had connections to NXIVM and its founder Keith Raniere.

    If it bleeds, it leads.

    Btw, Frank is awesome in this! Rick Ross and Catherine Oxenberg, too.

    PLEASE SHARE.

    I know everyone has a lot on their minds right now — if ‘less’ on their plates — but the rise of NXIVM is part of the fallout of the corruption of American society and government that I believe is contributing to the pandemic pandemonium also being discussed here on FR.

    In fact, I was reminded of “TEN-C” — The Emporer Wears No Clothes — the name Raniere gave to the secret sorority pre-DOS — from one of Fred’s posts wherein a scientist opposed to 5G says, “The king is naked.”

    [The Emporer story, btw, was one of our mother’s favorites she’d recite often that Raniere picked up from my sister and used in his own uniquely perverse, cynical way — not original, as usual, but eerily apropos to the times.]

    Frank – If I remember correctly, Raniere's 3 degrees are in Math, Physics, and Biology – not Chemistry. That doesn't rule out the possibility of poisoning; just wanted to give you the correct info. (And he earned minors in Psychology and Philosophy as well as he would make sure to tell you – just in case you weren't impressed enough with him already).

    Although I think we can all award him an honorary doctorate in Malicious Narcissism.
    • AnonymousApril 17, 2020
      No L. I don't think it was Malicious Narcissism. I think there was a strong appearance of covert narcissism through his presentations. That's how he hooked people into the co-dependence. Malicious narcissism would drive people away and he never revealed publicly the maleficence except in private through action, never words. IMO
      • LApril 17, 2020
        You're right – I was being facetious. My gallows humor and sarcasm don't always read well on the internet. The part about his actual degrees is correct though.
  • AnonymousApril 17, 2020
    If you were “invited”, they lost all credibility…
  • Shivani33April 17, 2020
    Thanks for giving me the chance to listen to Parlato do the parlato on Australia's @mamamia, nice and easy & right here. This show was really good to hear, and the piece was very well put together, not a wasted word.

    Only one thing was a turn-off, and that was most likely a matter of taste and therefore subjective, not a big deal. Really good stuff, excellent wordsmanship, and that isn't easy to pull off so seamlessly. Congratulations!
