Murder at Ryan's Run
Beth McNamara
Murder At Ryan's exposes the darkest, deepest secrets that lay just beneath the surface of The Move Organization's public perception. Within the groups ranks, members endured unspeakable abuse, victims of a cultic system created by leader Vincent Leaphart in 1972. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date story of MOVE told by the people who lived and survived it - ex-members known as AFRICAS and others with first hand accounts of bizarre beliefs, abuse, terror campaigns, violence, destruction, millions of dollars and the loss of more than a dozen lives including 7 children. FBI documents, internal cult communications, obtained audio tapes and photos on social media.

6 weeks before JOHN GILBRIDE is shot dead, he is awarded the unsupervised visitation with his 6 year old son Zackary that has been fought in the Family Court of Philadelphia event hough John, Alberta and Zackary all live in New Jersey. This final order by the Judge crosses a red line for John's ex-wife, the leader of MOVE (alleged to by former members to be a cult). It is said that Alberta considers the court order to be a personal defeat and a direct attack on MOVE and so under her leadership, MOVE goes into full confrontation mode and the city of Philadelphia is having a terrifying deja vu of May 13, 1985.

MOVE "Meetings"
Murder at Ryan's Run
08/19/21 • 28 min
*CONTENT WARNING - domestic abuse/violence and homophobic slurs.
John Gilbride was a victim of cultic abuse and control inside of MOVE and according to Mario Hardy (formerly Mario Africa) John was also a battered husband who finally escaped MOVE only to resurface and take Alberta to court which was seen as an act of war against MOVE. This is the first time former MOVE member MARIO AFRICA has ever told this story because he himself has feared MOVE retaliation and disconnection from his two children born into MOVE.
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence you can find help and resources through the National Domestic Violence Hotline (www.thehotline.org) 1-800-799-SAFE.

Follow The Money
Murder at Ryan's Run
10/19/21 • 33 min
Every murder investigation looks at motive - why does someone want someone else dead? Common motives are jealousy and money. One of the core secrets about MOVE is the source of their money and that would be a something that John Gilbride would have been privy to and so maybe MOVE vs. John Gilbride is about more than child custody. .
