S5E94 | Cindy Metcalf - How Survivors Can Sue Their Perpetrators... and Win

Today I’m honored to have on the show: Entrepreneur, Founder and Executive Director of Relentless Hope, certified victim’s advocate, force of nature, beacon of hope, survivor ally, Utah whistleblower, and relentless pursuer of truth: Cindy Metcalf

As the founder and Executive Director of Relentless Hope, an anti-ritual abuse, trafficking and SRA nonprofit based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Cindy has dedicated her life to confronting one of the darkest corners of human suffering: ritual abuse. A certified victim’s advocate, survivor ally, and Utah whistleblower, she has been a tireless voice for the voiceless, working to expose networks of corruption and provide critical support to those who have endured unimaginable trauma.

Cindy’s journey into advocacy wasn’t a straight path. With a background in marketing and advertising, she spent over a decade in the corporate world before taking time to raise her son. Her transition to nonprofit work began with volunteering at a polygamy rescue organization, where she first encountered the harrowing stories of ritual abuse survivors. These accounts, marked by physical, mental, and spiritual torture, ignited a fire in her to uncover the truth - not just within polygamous groups but across mainstream churches and institutions. “Children need to be protected. Justice must be served,” Cindy declares, a mantra that drives her mission.

Under her leadership, Relentless Hope has become a lifeline for survivors, offering resources, support, and advocacy for those whose lives have been shattered by ritual abuse. Her team of passionate advocates work tirelessly on criminal and civil cases, partnering with trusted sources to secure justice and healing for clients. Cindy’s approach is hands-on and fearless: she has ventured into ritual abuse sites, collecting DNA evidence, photographing hidden tunnels, and even uncovering animal bones used in satanic rituals - all to build airtight cases against perpetrators.

A real life super hero and warrioress, Cindy’s tenacity is matched only by her compassion. She volunteers 100% of her time, driven by her belief that ritual abuse is “The most sadistic form of torture on earth.” Her work is not without risk - she carries a gun, surrounds herself with trusted protectors, and boldly declares her mission to deter threats. Yet, she remains undaunted, fueled by her faith and a divine calling that birthed Relentless Hope, a grassroots organization that operates with minimal overhead, using free apps and secure servers to protect sensitive evidence.

Cindy’s impact extends beyond survivor support. She’s a fierce advocate for systemic change, pushing for legislative reforms extending statutes of limitations for child sex crimes, helping survivors pursue their perpetraitors, and mandating police reports for ritual abuse claims. Her research, backed by shocking statistics, underscores the urgency of her mission. She’s also uncovered evidence of brain damage and physical trauma in survivors, using PET scans and medical data to strengthen legal cases.

Despite facing betrayal, disbelief, and resistance, Cindy’s courage never wavers. She’s built a network of trusted allies, from survivors to legislators, and inspires others to join the fight. “We know this is real,” she says, urging the world to wake up to the human rights crisis of ritual abuse. Through Relentless Hope’s website (www.relentlesshope4you.org), she offers resources, support groups, and opportunities for volunteers to get involved - whether as researchers, advocates, or fund-raisers. Her message is clear: everyone has a role to play in protecting children and dismantling the networks that harm them.

Cindy is more than an advocate - she’s a hero, a miracle worker, and a relentless force for change. Her work is a clarion call to action, proving that one woman’s bravery, armed with faith and a light that can blind any darkness, can spark a movement to heal survivors and bring justice to a world in desperate need of hope.
