Given to God At Atwood Lake: The Ruth Miller CaseAtwood Lake Park in Ohio was known for peace and family vacations until the summer of 2025, when deputies found Ruth Miller, an Amish mother, standing knee-deep in the water claiming she had “given her child to God.” What followed became one of Ohio’s most haunting faith-related tragedies, now known as the Ruth Miller Atwood Lake case.
Ashley and Ricky explore how faith, delusion, and mental illness collided in this heartbreaking story from Tuscarawas County, Ohio.
