Authorities are searching for six people who disappeared last year and are believed to be followers of an online cult led by a convicted child molester, Missouri police said.
Six people who have been missing for nearly six months, including two 3-year-old children, have prompted police to sound the alarm about a suspected online cult that they allege is operated by a man currently serving 18 years in prison for child molestation.
The Berkeley Police Department told USA TODAY on Tuesday that two children were among the group that vanished in August and are tied to Rashad Jamal, leader of what he calls the “University of Cosmic Intelligence.” Police described the group as a "spiritual cult," which has 200,000 subscribers on its YouTube channel.
Three of the missing people are based in St. Louis, according to police: 24-year-old Mikayla Thompson, 25-year-old Ma’Kayla Wickerson and 3-year-old Malaiyah Wickerson. Gerrielle German, 27, and Ashton Mitchell, 3, are from Lake Horn, Mississippi. Naaman Williams, 29, is from Washington, D.C.
