Chicago filmmaker Allen Ross married Linda Greene and followed her cult, the Guthrie, Oklahoma-based Samaritan Foundation, as they moved from place to place following her instructions. Following Allen's murder, the group disbanded. Prosecutors believe that Linda Greene committed the murder. She died in 2002 of natural causes and was never charged. A cult member, Julia Williams, was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact to murder, by helping to bury the body in the basement. She was sentenced to two years in prison.
Ross' remains were found in July 2000 in his Cheyenne, Wyoming home.
Ross' disappearance is depicted in the 2001 documentary Missing Allen and in the MSNBC investigative report "Searching for Allen." Ross' story was featured in Season 1, Episode 2 of Investigation Discovery's Deadly Devotion(aired as "Killer Clans" in the UK) in the episode "The Bad Samaritans" (2013).
