the Story of Eligio 'Natureboy' Bishop
/When 20 year old Newfoundland resident Kayla Reid went missing, it was suspected that she had traveled from her home in Corner brook to the province's capital city of St John's.
Two weeks later, when she turned up on Youtube using the name Sunray in a video filmed far from the rocky shores of Newfoundland, the story changed from a missing persons case into something much more unique.
In the days that followed, the media would facilitate a back and forth battle between the people calling for Kayla's return and the Costa Rican cult she now called her family.
In this series we explore the stranger than fiction story of Kayla Reid and the cult leader she choose to follow, Eligio ‘Natureboy’ Bishop.
In this episode, we will hear the timeline of this unique story and hear from Sunray who recently returned to Newfoundland.
In The Rise Of Natureboy, I will use excerpts of my conversation with Natureboy that cover his life as Eligio Bishop, and end with his spiritual awakening as Natureboy.
In the prior episode "The Rise of Natureboy" we heard Natureboy describe the life he lived prior to his spiritual awakening, as Bishop (a male model / stripper / salon owner).
In this follow up episode, the story will continue from the point he decides to leave the United States.
In this "where are they now" style episode, Sunray will tell us about what she has been up to in the 6 months since we last spoke.
In this "where are they now" episode, I'll share as much as I know about the recent activities in Natureboy's wild wild life.
