12 YO Escapes Death Cult Minutes Before Massacre | The Case of Tracy Parks

“He’s going to kill us all”

By Unseen .Nov 19, 2024

Unseen .

Driven by the belief that there’s always more to the story, Unseen delves beyond the headlines to uncover the quiet resilience, courage, and humanity at the heart of real cases. With a focus on the untold and the overlooked, Unseen shines a light on what’s often left in the shadows, creating moments of connection and understanding.

On November 18, 1978, in the depths of the Guyanese jungle, 12-year-old Tracy Parks faced an unimaginable choice: stay and risk certain death or flee into the dense wilderness with nothing but her father’s desperate words echoing in her mind: “Escape and don’t come back until it’s safe.” This was the day the world would come to know as the Jonestown massacre—a day of unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by the manipulative cult leader Jim Jones.

As chaos erupted around her, Tracy disappeared into the jungle, hiding from gunmen patrolling the area and the hum of helicopters circling above. Alone and terrified, Tracy vowed to survive—and ensure that the truth about Jim Jones and his deadly cult would never be forgotten.

You might know about Jonestown, but this is the untold story of the little girl who lived.

On July 13th 2007, a woman is found murdered in the middle of the night. Her husband, who was asleep upstairs, immediately becomes the prime suspect, but police have no idea that the true culprit, a masked serial killer, has already struck again, miles away, leaving a trail of crime scenes undetected along the Northeastern US. However, everything changes when he breaks into the bedroom of 15-year-old Shea McDonough, who will team up with her entire family to make sure the killer is brought to justice for all of his crimes.

Jeannie McDonough, Shea’s mom, wrote a book detailing her family’s intense ordeal and fight for justice titled “Caught in the Act: A Courageous Family's Fight to Save Their Daughter from a Serial Killer.” It can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.ca/Caught-Act-Courageous-Family...

On June 18th 2002, in a small Kansas town, 19-year-old lifeguard Ali Kemp was found strangled to death in the pump room of the local pool. Police immediately launch an investigation, even interviewing prime suspects, but ultimately no arrests are made, and the case goes cold in the ensuing months. What police don’t know is that one of their released suspects hides a disturbing secret that’s key to unraveling what happened to Ali, and that her dad, Roger, will not rest until his daughter’s killer is found & brought to justice.

Ali’s dad, Roger, started The Ali Kemp Educational foundation to teach self-defense courses, T.A.K.E. Defense, to women and girls in honor of his daughter. For more information on classes or to contribute to their mission, please visit https://takedefense.org/.
