In this true crime podcast episode, we delve into the untold true crime story of Michael Geilenfeld — a man from Iowa once celebrated as a missionary savior in Haiti who was ultimately convicted in U.S. federal court for child sexual abuse. This episode uncovers a decades-long timeline filled with survivor testimony, overlooked red flags, and the closure of a Haiti orphanage due to corruption and betrayal. From whispers in the 1990s to a 2024 decision, we reveal how predators operate in the shadows and the devastating impact on vulnerable children who were repeatedly failed. This investigation is based entirely on court records, sworn testimony, and public documents — not speculation.

Full source documents and case details are available on the episode page at TrueCrimeUnheard.com.
