Not that many places in the U.S. wanted the remains, either, particularly for fear of becoming a pilgrimage sight for believers or a morbid tourist attraction. Hundreds of bodies were eventually interred at a cemetery in Oakland, Calif.

Jim Jr., 18, and brothers Stephan and Tim Jones, both 19, had been away that night with the Peoples Temple team playing in a basketball tournament against the national squad in  Georgetown. Tim's birth mother was a member of the church and she and the rest of his biological family, including three sisters and a brother, all died. Jim Jr.'s pregnant wife died at the scene as well.

For the 2018 ABC News special Truth and Lies: Jonestown—Paradise Lost, Stephan Jones reflected, "There were many people that were dear to me and a good number of them that I was very dear to. I often thought about what it must have been like for them for us not to be there, you know. And I ask their forgiveness."

There was nothing fake about the diverse community he was raised in, he insisted, and "I am so grateful for that because it showed me the truth of that, the beauty of that, the importance of that." But, Stephan added, "There was nothing spiritual about my father. Of course, in my view of things, he had every bit the loved and juicy soul in him that everyone else does, but he had lost complete sight of that. His entire existence was superficial." And, "like any good demagogue," he said, his father "would conjure up fear."
