About this episode
Shadows Online: The Rise and Horror of 764
Dive into this chilling episode of 69 South, where hosts Chop and Julie expose the dark world of 764—a decentralized network of violent extremists founded by Texas teen Bradley Chance Cadenhead. From his fractured childhood in Stephenville, riddled with divorce, bullying, and untreated bipolar disorder and anxiety, to founding a "cult-like" group blending nihilism, Satanism, and neo-Nazi O9A ideology. Learn how 764 grooms vulnerable kids aged 10-17 on platforms like Discord, Telegram, Roblox, Minecraft, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, coercing them into self-harm, animal abuse, sextortion, and CSAM via blackmail and "cut signs."
Based on Erath County court docs (case JV02023 and indictment 22CRDC-00016), forensic evidence of hundreds of graphic files on Bradley's devices, and his 80-year sentence for child pornography possession/promotion, we timeline his 2021 arrest to ongoing FBI probes of 350+ subjects in 2026. Hear gut-wrenching stories from parents like Colby Taylor (son Jay's coerced suicide) and Christina (daughter's mental breakdown), plus survivor accounts of grooming turning to terror.
Chop and Julie deliver essential tips for parents: spot signs like unexplained cuts, secretive app use, gore obsession; how predators build trust then extort "tributes"; and device checks for coded terms. Resources: FBI Parents Guide, NCMEC CyberTipline, DHS Know2Protect.
Trigger warning: Child exploitation, self-harm, suicide. Discretion advised.
