Caitlin Mathis is a victim advocate and survivor from Texas. In the summer between graduating high school and entering college, she began a relationship with a man whose future actions would change her life - and a whole town - forever. After consequently navigating the inner workings of the law enforcement and criminal justice systems during her college years, she now shares in the media all that came next in her journey.

Please note: Kenny Pannell and Mary Alexine have never publicly responded to allegations against them. They appear to be no longer involved with Chrysalis in Eureka, Montana since its sale to Embark Behavioral Health. Chrysalis opened in 1998; however, the exact year when Kenny and Mary left is not readily available information.

*Correction: In a previous draft of this episode, we incorrectly reported that, "Intermountain Hospital in Boise, Idaho, which is still in operation and under the ownership of Intermountain Health." which is incorrect. Intermountain Health has no affiliation with Intermountain Hospital. We apologize for the error and appreciate it being brought to our attention. Thank you!

Season 24 of Something Was Wrong shares the harrowing truths of international Institutional Child Abuse (often called the ?troubled teen industry?) through powerful interviews with survivors of wilderness therapy programs, therapeutic boarding schools, and other institutions around the world. 

These firsthand accounts expose an alarming pattern of abuse, neglect, and trauma disguised as treatment, alongside testimony from parents who entrusted these programs with their children. With expert insights from leading voices in the children?s rights advocacy space and adolescent mental health, Season 24 explores how programs have operated in the shadows for decades and why their harmful practices continue today.
