113: Amber Robinson: Georgia National Rainbow Gathering

The Rainbow Gathering promises freedom.  A place where strangers become family, where the rules of the outside world fall away, and the road ahead feels endless.
In the summer of 2018, 18 year old Amber Robinson followed that promise into the woods of Georgia.  She was young, curious, and chasing connection. 
At the gathering, she met a man. When the drums faded and the camp dispersed, the two left together - hitchhiking toward whatever came next.
But Amber never made it home. Days later, her life would end violently in a stranger’s house hundred of miles away.  A journey meant for peace - became something far darker.
Listen as we dive into the The Rainbow Family, the case of Amber Robinson, and how to stay alive on vacation.
