Florence – We’ve been investigating a monastery mystery near Florence for 7 years. It’s a beautiful religious oasis but some parents say, it’s more like a cult.
St. Anthony’s Monastery sits on 106 acres of desert land. And it looked pretty much the same when we went back, recently, to walk the grounds.
A former monk killed himself outside of the monastery this past June. 25 year-old Scott Nevins from Modesto, CA was in our report 7-years ago.
In that report we showed you photos of Scott, provided by his family, where he appeared frail. He was one of about 50 monks inside St. Anthony’s Monastery at the time. He looked nothing like he had a year before he moved there.
