Atwood Lake Park in Ohio was known for peace and family vacations until the summer of 2025, when deputies found Ruth Miller, an Amish mother, standing knee-deep in the water claiming she had “given her child to God.” What followed became one of Ohio’s most haunting faith-related tragedies, now known as the Ruth Miller Atwood Lake case.
Ashley and Ricky explore how faith, delusion, and mental illness collided in this heartbreaking story from Tuscarawas County, Ohio.Thanks to our sponsors!UncommonGoods: Looking for unique and meaningful gifts this year?
