Oprah Winfrey has just flown the Duggar family, in late 2006, from their isolated farm in Arkansas to Chicago. She covers all accommodations for mom, dad, and their litter of (at the time) 17 kids and counting in exchange for an interview.   The Duggars are a well known reality TV family, iconic for their cult-like way of life. They looked like time travelers. A family plucked from the pre-electricity past and dropped in the middle of the big city.   Before they can even start filming, an anonymous email in all caps, lands in one of the producer’s inboxes:   “…YOU NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH… [REDACTED] HAS MOLESTED [REDACTED] WHILE [REDACTED] WERE SLEEPING AND THE PARENTS HAVE BEEN HIDING THIS SECRET FOR A LONG TIME…”   Oprah takes the tip seriously. She cancels their interview and forwards the email straight to the authorities and a child abuse hot line.   The email is later found to be sent by a [redacted] female. And not only that, the sender is right…   At least 3 Duggars have been arrested thus far, in addition to 1 police officer in connection with their case, all relating to crimes against children.         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mattheo is driving to a town called Nuremberg in Germany. A good friend of his is sitting shotgun and just as they’re driving past a local pizzeria, about to get onto the highway ramp, Mattheo spots something in his peripheral.   He slams the brakes, his friend’s head almost hits the dash, and he pulls a U-turn as fast as physically possible.   The moment the car stops, he’s out and walking straight up to a girl with long, dark hair standing in front of the pizzeria. She looks a bit skittish. Her eyes are giant as he stares back at her.   He says the first thing he asks her is, “Are you dead?”   She responds slowly, “I don’t know…” Then she bolts. Runs off. Mattheo jumps back into the car to follow her.   She’s not supposed to be here. She’s not supposed to be anywhere. She’s supposed to be dead.           Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Two officers from the Kotzebue, Alaska Police Department enter a living room and ask the two small children watching SpongeBob, “Did someone call the police?”   One just points to a bedroom door. Inside, a man, Anthony, cradles a young woman’s body drenched in blood.  He says she’s his girlfriend, Jennifer. That he too, was just watching SpongeBob in the living room when he heard a ‘pop’ from the bedroom and found her with a ‘self-inflicted’ gun shot wound to her chin.   An investigation begins. The rifle used measures 27 and 1/8th inches long from barrel to trigger. Jennifer’s arm is 26 and 3/16th inches long. Nothing comes of it. The medical examiner observes red strangulation marks around Jennifer’s neck. The investigation is over within one day. Jennifer’s death is declared a self exit.   They don’t test for gunshot residue on the boyfriend, Anthony. They don’t look into his past record of abuse and SA.   After all, Anthony lives with his father, Clement Richards Senior, the mayor of the Northwest Arctic Borough. Surely this was a horrific one time tragic event…   Two years later another young woman’s body is found one again, at the mayor’s home.           Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One day before Nancy, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, goes missing, the DOJ releases the largest, single dump of documents in the history of the Epstein case.   Over 3.5 million pages. More than 2k videos. Approximately 180k images.   A little over 24 hours later, Nancy vanishes and the internet starts connecting some dots, suggesting strings were pulled to ensure her disappearance monopolized the national news stage instead of the most recent Epstein files dump.   Netizens cite Savannah Guthrie’s 2019 interview with 6 of Epstein’s survivors including Shante Davies who was pictured with the former US president Bill Clinton and the now late, Virginia Guiffre. The dateline special was Virginia’s first ever televised interview, where she sat across from Savannah and specifically implicated Prince Andrew in Epstein’s trafficking ring.   So is the timing of Nancy’s disappearance just coincidental or is there something deeper at play?   Most importantly, what exactly is in these files that the public would possibly ‘need distracting’ from?         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A woman dressed like Kanye’s wife, Bianca Censori, flips off the rest of the people surrounding the house, news vans & nosy neighbors, as they shame her for posing and taking pictures in front of the crime scene.   The red brick house is home to Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for over a month. Day one, day two, and now going on 30 plus days, the scene outside her home, where she disappeared from has been national news.   And even with a million dollar reward, the head of the FBI getting involved over Twitter, the ‘president’ getting involved, there are still no solid answers.   And when there are no solid answers, people tend to start creating their own…   This is the case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance and suspected kidnapping for ransom. All the conspiracies, speculations, and rumors - including - is this case being used as a headline coverup to bury what else has been happening in the US?       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the event of a break in, usually something of value is stolen from a house. But what if someone breaks into your home and steals a single, random item. Your hairbrush. Your pet’s ashes. Your family picture but leaves the frame. Your one spare house key?   Daniel Krug, patriarch, calls the police after his wife, Kristil comes home and realizes that the spare key they keep hidden in their garage is missing. They could’ve just misplaced it right?   With three young children at home though, the family doesn’t want to take any chances. Especially after Daniel, the father, remembers pulling into his driveway, before the key went missing, and saw someone jump their fence and take off running.   If someone had broken into their garage, stole their spare key, and nothing else that can really only mean one thing right? They’re planning on coming back.   Daniel reports it to the police and even gives his statement to the responding officer who visits his house. For nearly three months the family will grow increasingly paranoid after feeling like the burglar never left the house in the first place. That he came back and started doing stranger and stranger things around the house.   Until exactly 82 days after the initial report, one of the Krug family members will be found inside the family home.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Everyone hears about pre-nups but what about post-nups? They’re drafted and signed AFTER two people are legally married and they’re typically much weaker when brought in front of a judge.    For example, the following post-nups of a young couple in Hawaii will likely not stand up in court.    It states that in the event of a divorce: the husband gets all the assets; their family home and full custody of their daughter. The wife gets nothing.    Nothing besides two stipulations:     She is permanently banned from visiting psychics nor can she ever, under no circumstance, see or speak to her fertility specialist ever again.    The specialist is a local acupuncturist named Jon Takuhara who has helped multiple couples successfully conceive. What does Jon have to do with anything? And is it just a coincidence that two weeks after the couple signs their post-nups, Jon is found murdered?        Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Kumar sisters, 16, 14, and 12 years old, do everything together.  They eat together, they sleep together, they shower together. If one of them has to use the restroom, all three of them will line up like little ducks, and go to the restroom together.  On February 4th, 2026, all three sisters will die together. A neighbor who witnessed their deaths thinks it looked like an accident. Their parents blame the girl’s addiction to their smartphones and specifically, their addiction to Korean pop-culture. The authorities don’t seem to disagree, but netizens can’t ignore the details slowly emerging.  Reports stating the three sisters’ shared the same father and their mothers were biological sisters. Claims that all three sisters hadn’t gone to school and rarely left the apartment in over two years. And apparent proof that the girls wrote of beatings in their last, 8 page letter.   Full show notes at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Reese Jones is living every San Fransico tech guy’s wet dream. Create a company, sell it to Motorola for $205 millions dollars, and meet a hot, blonde girlfriend who doesn’t hold back in the bedroom.   A lifestyle some would be jealous of even after Reese gets kidnapped. Three men jump out, blindfold him, force him into a car at gunpoint. Next thing he knows, Reese is being led through seven different rooms, representing the seven deadly sins.   One is lust. Another is gluttony. Then, envy. Reese is bound to a chair while his girlfriend has intercourse with what is described as ‘a buffet of people.’   After all seven rooms, all seven sins, Reese is reborn. Which just means he’s now cloaked in white, standing on a rooftop deck while his blonde girlfriend waits for him in the distance: “Happy Birthday.”   That’s what you get as a present when you’re worth $200 million dollars and your girlfriend is the founder of One Taste, a company that helps women meditate and reach an orgasm. Every tech guy’s wet dream right?   That’s until Reese gets wrapped up in one of the strangest, potential trafficking cases, and his girlfriend, Nicole Daedone, wellness company CEO ends up in the same prison as none other than Ghislaine Maxwell.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The owners of the horse show, Valitar, are a wealthy, conventionally attractive couple called the Remley’s.   Mark Remley is a little bit older. Perhaps nerdy, but the type of guy to get into peak shape later in life.   Tatyana Remley is his wife with bottle blonde hair and a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model body. She’s also the main star of the Valitar horse show.   The Remley’s invested over $20 million dollars into the show, just to lose every single penny of it after multiple scandals back to back.   Allegedly, horses were abandoned with nothing to eat and massive creative differences led to performers quitting. Former staff members would come out to allege that Tatyana Remley doesn’t even know how to ride a horse that well…   Later, the couple is featured on TV as a well known swinger’s couple, a pillar in the local sex-swinging community. That’s just a side quest though; the most scandalous thing that happened at Valitar was the decapitated horse head on the Remley’s marital bed.   Thankfully, it’s not an actual butchered horse head. It’s just a hunk from one of their very expensive statues in their $5.5 million dollar home near San Diego, California.   And it’s clearly not been placed there as a mistake. This is a targeted threat. And by the end of the investigation, one of the Remleys, the founders of the failed multi-million dollar Valitar horse show, will be dead.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Cortney texts her sister, Candis, asking if she has any hand-me-downs she can use for a baby. Which is a confusing question for Candis because she had no clue her sister was pregnant. No one did.    Nonetheless, Candis learns of her new baby nephew, born prematurely, and still in the NICU.    About a week passes and the sisters don’t text until new mom Cortney breaks the news to Candis...     “My son passed away... Idk what happened. I just know that he wasn’t getting air. All I know is I watched my child die right in front of me.”    Candis will soon realize that the same day Cortney’s son died in the NICU, a 22 year old pregnant woman had gone missing.    It’s all circumstantial but it has to be connected in some way, right?    Especially that last text message from Cortney: “All I know is I watched my child die right in front of me.”    Is Cortney talking about the baby boy nobody knew she was pregnant with that she claims was in the NICU? Or is she talking about her daughter?   The missing 22 year old pregnant woman.          Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

SJ would be the next to die.   At least that’s how it seemed to his worried sister in-law, Mimi. Sitting next to him in the hallway of the morgue and even through her own grief, she questioned his health; that if left alone he might take his life out of despair.   SJ’s wife and Mimi’s sister, lay on a steel table in the room over, technicians actively cutting into her body.   Mimi hoped this autopsy would tell them how her sister ended up dead inside of her newlywed home after just 3 months of marriage. SJ hoped they wouldn’t notice the light red markings on his wife’s neck but knew her cause of death would be revealed.   So he starts building his ‘alibi,’ “You know…I’m someone with a very strong sexual desire-“ Caught completely off guard by his statement, Mimi just stares at SJ, “…What?” “I’m a person with strong desires, you know, but your sister would never let me touch her.”   It likely didn’t take long for Mimi to consider that SJ dying next might not be all that bad.         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“From today, I’m logging off this account for good.”    This was a status update made to a small, personal Facebook account on June 10, 2025. Just a month later, the post goes viral amongst some netizens because the man who ‘posted’ this to his Facebook?   He died 6 months ago. And thousands of those netizens had already witnessed his murder.    They had seen the butcher knife slamming down onto the man’s neck over and over again. They call the killer the “butcher.” The butcher even took the time to pose with the man’s severed head in a mirror selfie.   How do you post on facebook 6 months after your own murder? Is this post going to help people find the killer? And how do thousands of netizens witness a man’s murder?    This is the case of the Vietnamese Butcher.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“There’s no such thing as steps,” and “they were two peas in a pod.”  These are statements made by Anna Kepner’s grandparents who were with her on the cruise when she died. Her body was found under the mattress and her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation.  Which is what makes this comment particularly odd to some netizens...because Anna’s grandparents are referring to her relationship with her 16 year old step brother.  The very step brother who was the only other person in the room around the estimated time of death. The very step brother who is now a suspect in Anna’s murder.  They are not the only suspicious adults in this case though. Anna’s biological father and her step mother, the mother of the 16 yo step brother, who were also on the cruise with the family were seen over a month after Anna’s murder, walking from court, their faces completely blank yet gripping each other’s hands. Anna’s father has just lost his daughter yet he seemingly appears closer than ever to his wife and the mother of the murder suspect.     This is part two of the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder.  Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

November 8, 2025, a small SUV drives up to the Carnival cruise ship docked at Port Miami. The thick letters on the side of the car read:  MIAMI DADE COUNTY  MEDICAL EXAMINER    FBI agents are seen bringing what appears to be a cadaver stretcher off the ship.    Just 24 hours before docking, in a cabin where three step-siblings were rooming together, a crew member finds a dead body.    An 18 year old girl named Anna Kepner, hidden underneath a mattress amongst blankets and life jackets.    The youngest sibling is seemingly ruled out and the most likely person of interest appears to be her 16 year old step brother...Whom Anna’s father and stepmother seem to be defensively ‘protective’ of.     This is the ongoing case of Anna Kepner’s murder.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is it possible to completely forget something you experienced?   Well, it depends on who you ask. Pick a side and welcome to the memory wars.   One side believes it is possible. There are documented cases of victims of traumatic events who forget for years until one day when they begin to remember.   The other side believes that this is not a real thing. You cannot just forget a memory and then suddenly remember it.   The stakes are high for the memory wars. And the stakes are even higher for the False Memory Syndrome Foundation.   FMSF is on the side that denies repressed memories. For decades, FMSF has denied victims of all ages who have remembered experiences of CSA and torture, including Mary Knight. This is her story.       Meet Mary in person at her upcoming book signing & book club!!! - Village Books in Bellingham, WA on Sunday June 14th, 2026 - Book signing is at 12pm PCT & book club discussion begins at 2pm PCT   Read Mary Knight’s memoir, “My Life Now: Essays By A Child Sex Trafficking Survivor” at https://a.co/d/hZD08OG or https://www.maryknightproductions.com/index.html   Watch Mary Knight’s self-produced documentaries on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_h2qj8HY2OhgSKcXfjrMiQ?view_as=subscriber   Reach out to Mary personally at [email protected]         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Almost everyone in Los Angeles hopes that one day they’ll receive an invitation on their doorstep inviting them to one of Al Sekel’s parties. In order to attend, he always provides a vague caveat like, ‘bring the most interesting person you know.’   Fulfill it and the host himself will likely usher you inside his mansion, give you the tour, and show you a giant painting that seems to be…moving?   Later on, someone at the party might clue you in, ‘He’s the world’s greatest collector of optical illusions. He likes them because they violate expectations.’   Al Sekel is known as a harmless, artsy oddball who just happens to be Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother in law, until the most recent release of Epstein’s emails.   An email from Sekel to Epstein in 2010 reads in short, ‘Now the headlines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile…Your wiki entry now is pretty tame and bad stuff has been muted…We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption.’   According to the email, Sekel helped Epstein clean up his online image. To Sekel, the damage control is likely just another optical illusion.   However, we’ll never truly know why because soon after those emails, Al Sekel goes missing. Weeks pass and authorities find his body at the bottom of an 100 ft cliff in France. One of his hands and one of his feet is nowhere to be found. Yet, authorities say he died by s*icide.   But how many s*icides connected to one case is too many?         Demand Justice for Epstein Survivors: https://www.change.org/EpsteinSurvivors         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

An alleged page of Epstein’s 50th birthday book is leaked, featuring a drawing of what looks like the outline of a woman’s torso. No head, just the curves of a neck, shoulders, no arms and ‘u’ shaped drawings for the breasts.   Within the outlined silhouette is a badly written poem and it’s signed at the very bottom, ‘Donald J. Trump’ in thick black ink. His scribbled signature seemingly positioned as the pubic hair of the woman’s silhouette.     Trump sues the Wall Street Journal for distributing this alleged letter for $10B and posts on ‘truth social’ that it’s completely fake.   Despite this denial, a clip of Epstein’s deposition begins to circulate alongside the poem. Epstein is sitting on a leather armchair, fully leaned to one side, arm propped on the chair, his head resting in his hand.   He is asked, “Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?”   Epstein answers, “What do you mean by personal relationship?”   “Have you socialized with him?”   “Yes sir.”   “Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?”   Epstein replies, “Though I’d like to answer that question at least today, I’m going to have to assert my 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment right sir.”   The 5th Amendment permits someone to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination. The man’s name mentioned in Epstein’s deposition? The current president of the United States.       How many of the world’s most elite and powerful people are connected to serial sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein??       Change.org Petition: Release the Epstein files & Support World Without Exploitation at https://linktr.ee/WorldWe?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=ac1f2bca-ffb4-4cb7-b0d6-8c92aa57890e         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

According to public autopsy records, many people regarded as whistleblowers have died by s*icide.    Virginia Giuffre is one of Epstein’s most outspoken victims who has spent her life fighting to bring Epstein and Ghislaine to justice.    At 17 years old she is photographed with “Prince” Andrew whose hand is wrapped around her waist.    By her late 20s she’s best known for exposing that picture to the public and testifying to the trafficking she was subjected to by some of the world’s elite.    Yet now, as of April 25th, 2025, Virginia Giuffre is dead. Leaving behind a manuscript titled “Nobody’s Girl” detailing the 2 years she was trafficking by Epstein to limitlessly powerful people.   Before her death she emails two confidants:    “In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that “Nobody’s Girl” is still released...” Sent April 1, 2025.   April 25, 2025, Virginia Giuffre will be found dead. Her death ruled as a s*icide less than a month after her email and a few years after she made the following tweet on X:    “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape, or form am I s*icidal. I have made this known to my therapist and GP– if something happens to me– in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”    Now, a lot can change in a few years, including someone's mental state. But with the Epstein case and files...    Everyone feels like a suspect. Everyone has money.  Everyone has power.  And everyone has a lot to lose.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A few months after beloved son, Grant Solomon, dies in a freak accident 3 more grave plots are bought next to his.   One for his younger sister Gracie. Another for the siblings’ mother, Angie. And the last for the patriarch of the family, Aaron.   All three whom are still, very much alive.   In fact, Angie and Aaron, now divorced, are not only breathing but they’re basically just busy hating each other. Would they really want to lay next to each other for the rest of eternity?   And what about Gracie, Grant’s younger sister who just entered her teenage years? She’s most likely going to grow up, start a family of her own and be laid to rest with them…right?   The Freedom For Gracie instagram posts about the 3 grave plots that were purchased far too prematurely. Apparently, the culprit is none other than Aaron. The patriarch. The father. The estranged ex-husband, who by the way, isn’t new to accusations…   Another glimpse at the Freedom For Gracie page provides some context: Did Aaron kill his own son Grant and is he trying to take down the rest of the family next?   Police are at a loss, the public is at a loss, until five years later when the case flips on its head.   Angie is the one sitting in prison facing charges of murder for hire.   This is the case of the Solomon family.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The instructions were very clear: Walk over to the hit car. Open the front passenger door and get in. Do not look around. Keep your head facing forward. Act normal. Angie Solomon does just that, slides in and stares at the dashboard.       “Have you done this before?”       A male voice answers from the backseat behind her to let her know that she’s asking one too many questions. Angie nervously laughs then continues.       Angie tells the hitman in the backseat of the car about her youngest child. A daughter named Gracie, whom Angie claims, was abused by her ex-husband and Gracie’s father Aaron. Angie continues. She tells the hitman about Aaron’s schedule, his address, how his gate has a hole in the back that the hitman can get through.       The hitman finally speaks, “You understand that I’m not going to see you again. You understand that right? He’ll be dead and disappear…”       But the morning after Angie plotted to kill her ex-husband, Aaron would not be dead.   And the two them, Mr. Backseat man and Angie, they would see each other again… In a courtroom full of people while the recording of Angie in the hit car plays in open court.       Mr. Backseat Man is an undercover FBI agent.       By 2025 Angie will be arrested for murder for hire. Aaron will be accused of trafficking his daughter Gracie in a high powered ring of mega church pastors and the governor of Tennessee.       And Grant, the first born son will be dead.       This is the case of the Solomons where it’s clear that at least one of them is lying. We just don’t know who.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What are the odds that you have a half sibling somewhere out there that you don't know about? How do you even find out if you have a half-sibling?   Nowadays, lots of people will meet them on accident after taking a DNA test, but typically it’s a very tricky game. You can’t just look on your birth certificate and sometimes your own parents have no idea or withhold the truth.   Aziza Kibibi doesn’t have to look very far. She already knows where and who all of her half siblings are because she's given birth to four of them.   Aziza’s father has been SA’ing her since she was eight years old. By fifteen, she would give birth to her first child bore out of incest at the hands of her father. He’d go on to impregnate her four more times, forcing her to give birth without medical assistance every single time.   She would be forced to bear life in a tent on a beach while hiding from the police. Another, alone squatting over a Home Depot bucket.   And every single time, Aziza’s dad would force her to raise her kids - his kids - their kids - in the same house with Aziza’s ten other siblings he was also assaulting. The same house where Aziza’s mother lived, growing jealous of her own daughters each year they got older.   Her father forced them to live together, prohibited them from public school, locked away from the public eye, forced to fight for his attention until they could finally escape.   This is the story of Aziza Kibibi.         Support Aziza’s non profit at https://preciouslittleladies.org Read her amazing memoir “Unashamed: A Life Tainted...vol 1&2” at https://store.bookbaby.com/book/unashamed1 Stay up to date with Aziza at https://www.azizakibibi.com/rottenmango     Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What do you do when your favorite creator, YouTuber, or tiktoker stops posting? They just completely disappear. No warning, no community post. Just gone.   Are you convinced they are sick? That they’re just taking a break and coming back?   Usually the first two are the natural internet reactions especially when creators go missing for too long.   Sometimes the real reason is lot scarier than that…   Mamaguy, a Korean tiktoker swears that it wasn’t him who roundhouse kicked the woman in Busan on the CCTV. He swears that’s NOT the reason why he took a few years off from the public eye.   Which, to be fair, is true. The real assaulter who went viral for randomly round-housing a woman was found and charged with 20 years in prison.   So then why was ‘Mamaguy,’ absent from social media? Absent from society as a whole?   Sometimes when creators go missing online it’s completely nothing. They’re taking a break. Or just decided to stop making content. Maybe they’re burnt out.   Or, it could be much more sinister than that.         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In 2018, a victim by the alias, ‘EM’ meets a Junior hockey player at a bar who invites her to spend the night with him. She consents to having intimate relations with this singular player.   By the next morning, EM survives a gang assault at the hands of 10 to 16 other players that the original player had invited back to the hotel room without EM knowing. She would go onto testify about these events seven years later in 2025.   Only five of the men get charged and go to trial. All five of the men are found not guilty.   The case divides basically all of North America and women begin coming forward with their own stories including one that seemingly involves the original player who invited his teammates to the hotel room.   Could it all be connected? One thing is for sure: all of these cases of alleged gang assault involve players from the Junior hockey league, aka the ones with the ‘Bible’ on how to assault women.   This is part two of Canada’s continuous gang assault scandals.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“WARNING / DISCLAIMER: the content is not safe for work – school – your gf – or your mother.”   This is the ‘Junior Hockey Bible.’ It reads like a dictionary with words and their definition, mostly hockey related.   “A mess - Usually quits hockey and goes home to work with his dad cleaning out sh*tters.”   “Bobby Big Wheel - This is the guy on the team who thinks he is gods gift to women…But really he’s a f*cking joke. He’s really going nowhere in life or hockey.”   “Sea Donkey - These beasts of the sea are masters at boozing and once intoxicated, they are looking to get some hockey cock…Only approach after 25 beers and all other options have failed including the r*****ed girl with no legs named Bobby No Legs.”   “Cinema - This is the honorable act of letting your friends watch you bang…If busted, the actor *the guy whose banging* denies any knowledge of the cinema and normally will get mad at the boys in front of the sl*t just to make her feel better when really, he is laughing on the inside. A great family event for all.”   The ‘Junior Hockey Bible’ reads more like an instruction manual or a guidebook for SA.   So most netizens and locals in Ontario, Canada aren’t surprised that five junior hockey boys are accused of gang r*pe right as they’re getting drafted to the NHL. The surprising part, to many netizens, is how they allegedly wind up getting away it.           Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

September 11th, 2025, Yu Menglong, a Chinese actor with 25M followers is found dead in pools of his own blood after an alleged industry dinner party. Police quickly claim that he ‘drunkly fell’ from the fifth floor of the luxury Beijing apartment and close his case.   Chinese netizens couldn’t disagree more. A list is released of all the high ranking celebrities that were alleged to have been at the fatal dinner party.   A late-billionaire’s wife who inherited all of his money after he suspiciously died in prison.   A director known for his bright red hair and predatory behavior towards young male actors.   An art director of a museum exhibit showcasing alleged preserved human torture scenes that was visited by Yu Menglong prior to his death.   The husband of that same art director, who is also the owner of the luxury Beijing apartment where Yu Menglong ‘fell.’   And those are just four of the 17 guests that netizens suspect were with Yu Menglong during the last moments of his life.   That list plus his two beloved dogs that have also mysteriously ceased to exist. And what about the other ten different celebrities under Yu Menglong’s same talent management who have also passed away under very suspicious circumstances?   This is part two of the Yu Menglong case.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Yu Menglong, a famous actor is confirmed to be dead.   The authorities say he fell to his death from the 5th floor of a luxury Beijing apartment that wasn’t his. They say it’s just a drunk accident and quickly rule out any foul play.   They don’t investigate the dozen plus partygoers in the apt that evening… They don’t even investigate further into his death.     Instead, the authorities begin censoring any netizens openly questioning the events of that night.   Livestreams are shut down mid-stream. Comments and profiles get taken down and deleted.   Still, netizens are one step ahead as a video slips through the cracks. Bloodcurdling screams are captured on audio. A man begging for his life between cries.   A conspiracy spreads like wildfire: Yu Menglong was tortured to death after he swallowed a USB containing government secrets.   Could there be truth to this theory? Why would a government go so far to censor a movie star’s death?   And why are there rumors saying his mother has now gone missing…       Full show notes at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Family nudist camps. They’re real and exist today. Children are 100% allowed. Clothes are not.   A lot of people wonder if it’s uncomfortable for children, which one camp addresses in their website’s FAQs:   Q: Are children forced to be nude?   A: The word “forced” is an emotionally loaded word that suggests unreasonable force or other inappropriate coercion… Most children are very comfortable with nudity until they are taught otherwise by society. With young naturist children, it’s just as likely that parents “force” them to wear bathing suits when visiting municipal pools where bathing suits are mandatory.”   This is where Donald Gordon and his other pedophile friends would make bets to see who could molest the most amount of kids. These were his hunting grounds.   But Don didn’t need to ‘hunt’ for the little girl that accompanied him because he was already friends with her parents.   Her parents were pedophiles as well and introduced their youngest daughter to them.   Lisa was just 11 years old when Don started abusing her; frequently taking her to these family nudist camps where she was preyed upon by others.   This is Lisa’s story.       Full shows notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We went to see Luigi Mangione in court.  September 16, 2025, in a New York State Courthouse, Mangione’s terrorism charges are dropped.  The courtroom remains silent with court officers stationed at every corner.    There are cheers from protestors right outside the courthouse.  A strange energy clash between mainstream media and the members of the public who waited over 30 hours to get inside the courtroom.    Protestors organized giant vans to circle the courthouse with Luigi Mangione’s face displayed on them.    It feels like a big win for the Mangione legal team.  Except…   His attorneys argue that all 3 jurisdictions are fighting over who gets to be the one to take down Luigi Mangione.    He still faces:   Weapons charges in Pennsylvania.  2nd degree murder, weapons, and stalking charges in the state of New York.    And the death penalty from the federal government.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It is not until Spetmber 17th, 2025 that the body found in D4vd’s Tesla is identified as 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.   And she has been missing for over a year.   The last time her family saw her in person seems to be in April of 2024 though her family has remained out of the public eye with no official statements.   The police are quiet. The medical examiner’s are quiet. David and his team are quiet. And Celeste’s family is quiet.   The media and netizens, basically the general public, is not. People start developing their own assumptions and conclusions to the point where there’s about five main theories floating around online.   One, he killed her for fame. Two, he’s innocent. Three, he’s involved but her death was an accident and he couldn’t call for an ambulance or authorities because she was a missing teen. Four, he murdered her and disposed of her body. Five, there is a lot more that we don’t know and there are other people that are heavily involved.   This is what the internet thinks happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14 year old girl found deceased in the trunk of D4vd’s car.       Full show notes at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

None of the people that are carrying the casket are saying anything. They just roll it into the building.   Once the casket finds its spot in the room, people file in to pay their respects. It’s not an open casket but as people pass by the roses and the guestbook, they see that the casket is for a young man depicted in a blood stained dress shirt.   Thankfully this is not a funeral. This is a concert.   For one of the biggest rising artists of 2025, D4vd.   The writer and singer behind ‘Romantic Homicide,’ and ‘Here With Me’ kicked off his international tour by holding a funeral for his ‘alter ego’ at a few of his domestic tour stops.   Nobody thought twice about this. It was ‘artistic’ and ‘apart of his aesthetic.’ Just a part of his branding. Nobody thought he could actually be telling the truth right?   September 8th, 2025 the news that the remains of a 14 year old girl are found in an abandoned Tesla the LAPD confirmed to be registered to D4vd goes nationwide.   Despite this, he still decides to perform one last concert night before cutting his tour short.   This is everything we know about the singer D4vd and the victim whose body was found in his trunk.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

MDC Brooklyn is a notoriously known prison in New York.   The beds are made of steel and you get a 1.5 inch foam mattress to throw on top. There are no pillows and the showers have the thinnest curtain for privacy.   The food is not so surprisingly prison slop. On the menu are ‘murder burgers’ which one inmate describes the meat patty being like shoe leather. Unreasonably chewy.   The only meal worth looking forward to are chicken days. Once a week, the kitchen will serve chicken, the best source of protein other than the ‘macks.’ These are little packets of preserved mackerel known to be the most coveted trading commodity at MDC Brooklyn.   Luigi Mangione is being held in 4 North unit of MDC. Which consists of just 20 high profile inmates like the former president of Honduras, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Sean Combs.   Just a floor below, in the 3 North unit of MDC Brooklyn was the man we’re speaking with today.       Full show notes available at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A new true crime documentary has just been released on Netflix titled, ‘Unknown Number.’ The twist at the end is so unexpected and shocking that people start making TikToks of their friends and family’s reactions.   The premise: Lauryn and Owen are thirteen year olds navigating a middle school romance until they get put into a group chat with an unknown third number. The texts start off silly.   “Best day ever! Only one of you got voted on homecoming court – this is epic! LMAO!”   They quickly escalate in severity and occurrence; sometimes up to 50 harassing text messages a day for roughly two years.   “Owen loves me and I will always be the girl he loves. He will be with me while your lonely ugly ass is alone. I f*****g own Owens dick. Cry more you f*****g jealous bitch.”   Who is sending these messages? Why do they want Lauryn and Owen to break up so badly? Why does it take the authorities two full years to finally catch the sender?   Those were just a few of the many questions netizens still had after finishing the documentary...   Rotten Mango was able to secure a never before seen case file that is nearly one thousand pages long. We discuss these exclusive details along with the sender’s possible motives, theories, and answers to some of the most asked questions.   This is everything the new documentary ‘Unknown Number’ didn’t tell you about the real life case.       Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The story was simple. Perhaps, a little too simple.  Rebecca says she pulled into the parking lot of the sports store with her 7 month old son, Emmanuel.    She went to get him from the back but a creepy man walked up to her, said “hola,” knocked her out, and stole her son.    A tragic situation. But what if it never even happened? There are so many questions that don’t make sense if her story is true -    Rebecca claims she didn’t see the man at all before he knocked her out. She says he came up from behind her. But how did she get punched in the middle of her face where she now has a black eye if he came up behind her?   Also if her black eye is from the kidnapper punching her in the face - why are there reports that family members saw her with a black eye weeks before the abduction?   How come she keeps using past tense when referring to her son? And why did she making missing child flyers in an effort to find her son but disconnect her phone so that no tips/sightings would actually go through?   But most intriguing - how come nobody saw her with a baby that day? The day she claims her baby was abducted?         Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ikbal's mother has been trying to get in contact with her daughter for over an hour at this point. Ikbal had been dealing with a stalker for a few years and her family were frantic.  One more try.  Ikbal’s mother dials for her daughter.     Click.  Someone picks up the phone, but the response is not from a 19 yo teenage daughter. It’s a low, quiet voice; her stalker is on the other end. He says 15 words and hangs up.    “Don’t worry. Your daughter is in good hands. The girl is sleeping in peace now…”    A little later, the same day, a video goes viral on Turkish social media - specifically Discord.    A woman screams ‘Ikbal’ as she’s held back by a crowd of people. Clear as day in front of her, in the middle of a busy street is her daughter’s decapitated head.    A second video goes viral.  A boy, 19 yo as well, jumps from the edge of a building with a rope around his neck.    October 4, 2024 three 19 year olds die in the same city. Their deaths all connected and viral on Discord.  Until it goes dark.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It will be their first time seeing each other in 20+ years. The last time they saw each other was when they broke up after college. Now, so much has changed.    He’s gotten out of prison for killing his childhood abuser. She’s started her own business and moved on with her life. Maybe this is a bad idea. Maybe they have nothing in common anymore. Maybe it’s a college fling and they should leave it alone.    After all, they never even said a word to each other for 25 years.  But when they see each other for the first time in that coffee shop. They’re back to college again.    She looks down and notices a briefcase.    “Do you bring a briefcase to all your dates?”   He chuckles because inside that suitcase is proof. Proof that for the past 20 years he has never stopped thinking about her.   Support Clark and his story: "Scarred" by Clark Fredericks https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Scarred/Clark-Fredericks/9781668018651        Full Shownotes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happened that day in that little house in the woods is not a debate.   The evidence is all there. The blood, the wounds, the dead man lying on the floor of the living room.   That night while the homeowner was watching TV - Clark Fredericks walked in, slashed at him with a hunting knife, stabbing him all over his chest, before finally slitting his throat.   It’s a bloody killing. There’s blood splattered and smeared all over the room.   Detectives have so many questions for the killer -   Like why did he kill him?   Why did he go and spit on his bed before leaving?   Did he think that he was going to get away with this?   What was the reason?   And does he regret it?   Today, we’re getting answers to those questions. This is our interview with Clark Fredericks.   Support Clark and his story: "Scarred" by Clark Fredericks https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Scarred/Clark-Fredericks/9781668018651        Full Shownotes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s a little strange for a eulogy to go viral especially when it’s not dedicated to a politician or celebrity that’s passed, but this eulogy is for the joint funeral of a couple Kristin and James Brock. Killed in their sleep while their two daughters slept just a few doors away.   The killer is still on the loose.   Kristin’s eldest daughter gives the closing line of her eulogy, “I love you guys so, so much…I’m sorry.”   A relative who is present at the funeral will later recall the teenager’s cadence - how it was one of the weirdest things they have ever witnessed.   What is that voice they’re doing? It sounds like crying but not a single tear…   Afterwards, the teenager, whose 5 year old sister was the one to find their parents’ bodies, goes down the line of relatives repeating the phrase, “I’m sorry.”   Why is 17 year old Sarah Patrick apologizing to everyone when it was her mother and stepfather that were killed?   Five months later and a digital footprint of tiktoks will give the police enough evidence to make an arrest.   Authorities accuse Sarah Patrick. Could the teenage daughter who recited a eulogy for her deceased parents really be a killer performing a eulogy for her murder victims?         Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

July 5th, 2025 a predator in Nanjing, China is arrested. He’s been nicknamed, ‘Uncle Red’ and his face gets plastered on the news.   Finally. The community can breathe and go about their daily lives, right? No. Netizens instead start a boycott and it works.     No future travel into or through Nanjing. Gyms are shutting down. No one wants to visit. Some residents are ashamed to have an Nanjing address.   Suddenly the biggest online diss you can throw at someone on Chinese social media is telling them that their husband or father is from Nanjing.   It’s clear that after Uncle Red’s arrest, nothing and nobody is the same… but how the hell is an entire city impacted by one man’s arrest?   For that, all you have to do is log onto Chinese social media and you’ll see it. I’m talking, screenshots, gifs, full videos, memes, AI parodies of Uncle Red’s crimes...   Over a thousand graphic videos that captured hundreds of Nanjing residents in their most intimate moments between them and a partner.   They had no idea Uncle Red was recording them. And they had no idea that the partner participating in the videos with them was actually Uncle Red too.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Almost exactly a year before John O’Keefe is found in the snow outside of Boston detective Brian Albert’s home,  Sandra Birchmore is found dead in her apartment in the middle of a blizzard.   In her phone are thousands of messages between her and a police detective that indicate he is the father of her unborn child. But of course, it’s never that simple.   For one, he’s married and his wife is about to give birth to their third child. And two, he legally, shouldn’t be in a relationship with Sandra.   Nobody was supposed to find out that he had been grooming and assaulting her since she was 15 years old, a grade school cadet apart of his police explorer’s program.   Now that she’s dead - everything’s about to come out into the open right? Not exactly.    When Canton PD and Massachusetts State Police investigate Sandra’s suspicious death, they rule her manner of death as a self exit. It would take the FBI 4 years to get involved and make an arrest.    From first glance, it appeared Sandra Birchmore’s connection to Karen Read ended with the fact that both crimes took place in the same town. But  when Karen Read’s defense team requests unredacted files from Sandra Birchmore’s investigation…netizens begin digging.    Many of the same exact officers that are going after Karen Read are the same ones saying Sandra Birchmore did this to herself.   What are they all hiding?         Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Karen Read claims she did not kill her boyfriend. She dropped him off at a friend’s house for a party and he was found the next morning, deceased on the front lawn.    The party goers say that he never came inside which has everyone believing Karen Read ran him over with her car.    But she says that never happened.  Then how do you explain the 40+ pieces of HER car tail light that were found at the scene?   Well, it’s simple.  She says she was framed. For murder.    Those tail light pieces were allegedly planted by shady cops that want her to go down.  Law enforcement disagree, providing video evidence that nobody touched her car and nobody could have ever placed tail light pieces at the scene. Nobody believes Karen Read.   Until it’s revealed that the so called CCTV footage from inside the police station… is altered.          Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Colin Albert is the son of one of the most powerful families in town. And he was supposed to be anywhere but 34 Fairview, the night John O’Keefe died.   For months, not a single witness that spoke with authorities ever stated Colin Albert was at the house that night.   Until, John’s girlfriend, Karen Read, gets charged with his death. She knows she didn’t do it and is ready to prove her innocence. She hires a private investigator who uncovers  that Colin was there the night of the party. So why is everyone lying to cover for him?   Why does it seem like everyone is trying to protect him? Why is it so important to hide the fact that he was at the house that night?   Could it be related to the fact that, just weeks after John O'Keefe’s death, Colin Albert was photographed with scraped and injured knuckles?   Or perhaps it has something to do with his Snapchat videos, which reveal that this popular high school football player may have violent tendencies?       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s a blizzard party. A group of friends at a house, getting drunk, before they all drive back home. By 2AM, the snow is coming down hard and the party goers have left for their own homes. Only the residents of 34 Fairview Road remain.    At least that’s what they say.   Within just a few hours, the frozen body of John O’Keefe is found outside on their lawn. Laying in the snow.    The best way to figure out what happened to John O’Keefe is to talk to every single person inside the house for the ‘blizzard party'.   But ‘hos’ can authorities have a proper investigation if all of them are evasive?   Nobody wants to answer any of the questions directly and their stories aren’t adding up. Most importantly, what about the allegations that every single person inside of the house that evening may have a motive to harm John?   Are they telling the truth? Could it really just’ve been John’s ‘jealous’ girlfriend Karen? Did she really run him over in a fit of rage like all the party goers say?   The authorities seem to think so. They take the residents of 34 Fairview and the partygoers at their word despite the mountains of evidence that point in a completely different direction.   So the real questions are: Is Karen Read actually guilty or is it just because the residents of 34 Fairview are the most well-connected and powerful family in Canton?       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Deputy: In the matter of USA v. Combs, how do you find the defendant, Sean Combs, for count one, racketeering conspiracy?   Juror 5: Not guilty.    There’s a small gasp from Diddy’s two rows of friends and family.    Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura, how do you find the defendant? Juror 5: Not guilty.   Someone from the same section of the gallery says “yeah!!” It was quiet but in the tension of the courtroom it is clear that everyone heard it. His kids have broken into smiles, happily nodding.     Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Casandra Ventura?   Juror 5: Guilty.   There’s no reaction.    Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Jane, how do you find the defendant? Juror 5: Not guilty.   Teny Geragos tightly grips Sean Combs’s hand across the table as the defense team exchanges positive looks.   Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Jane?  Juror 5: Guilty.   As the entire courtroom stands and watches the jury leave, Combs continues to nod and clasp his hands in prayer directed towards the jurors; a silent ‘thank you.’   Basically the moment the jury walk out of the room, Marc Agnifilo, Sean Combs's lead defense attorney immediately petitions the Judge.   Judge: Are you proposing he just walk outside now? Agnifilo: Yes…  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Thursday morning felt like we were seeing something we weren't supposed to be seeing…     Sean Combs is sitting in his normal spot and the entire defense team fall into formation like soldiers at attention. They make a human force field as they huddle around Sean Combs.   Is this a pep talk? What's happening?   Through the cracks we can see, Sean Combs, absolutely livid. They stay like that until Father Arun, aka Judge Arun calls for a sidebar in the robing room. Lead counsel, Father Arun, and the court reporter disappear behind the door for 20 mins. Then 30 mins.   It’s an hour into the morning and we have yet to start the actual court proceedings - nor can we hear anything that’s going on inside the robing room.   Usually the rumors will come and go in the press pews - there’s not that many to go around. But everything about this Thursday is different. With nothing else to do - the press are whispering -   ‘Did you hear?’ ‘I don’t know if it’s true’ ‘Kanye West is trying to get into the courthouse’ ‘I heard he’s here to support Diddy’   But this doesn’t make sense because why would Diddy be so viscerally angry to the point that his entire team has to block our view of him? Wouldn’t he want his friend supporting him? Is this why the attorneys have spent so long in the robing room?   It all seems a lot deeper than that. Perhaps even darker. A lot of people start to speculate that Kanye might be the Feds next target - he might be who they’re coming after next.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

During a sidebar for the case of USA v. Sean Combs - the judge tells the defense attorneys:   “Well, that is victim blaming. That is literally that's like if you had a dictionary that had a term victim blaming, like that would be the explanation that you'd be given, so it can't be that. It has to be something else.”   He clarifies that they themselves are not victim blamers; however, some of their questions could not be accepted in open court for their rather victim blaming nature.   He has said what netizens have been thinking for months now.   Netizens have been wondering for months -   Who is on trial here? Sean Combs or the victims?   Every single text message and every intimate detail of these women’s lives have been brought up in court.   They are being subjected to days and 20+ hours of brutal testimony. Their pasts are being dug up online - while Sean Combs has a growing line of fans waiting to get into the courtroom to support him. We are nearing the end of the trial and it feels like nobody really knows how this will end.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

She is one of Sean Combs’s latest girlfriends. She was dating Sean Combs when Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit went public. She was in the room with him when he found out that CNN had just released the hotel video of him assaulting Cassie. AND - she had plans to visit Sean Combs in New York City, on the very trip that he was arrested on.  Jane Doe.  Testifying under a pseudonym.  There are so many questions that the prosecution, defense, and even the public have for her.  Such as - what happened during her relationship? What was Sean Combs’s reaction to the hotel video being released? Were her experiences similar to Cassie’s? But the most interesting question in the courtroom is - why is Sean Combs still paying for her attorney? And - what does that mean for the case? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A mistrial. Sean Diddy Comb’s legal team has just filed for another mistrial, alleging that the prosecutors knew that Cassie was lying on the stand and still allowed her to testify.   This entire fight centers around a 2016 balcony incident, in which Cassie and her friend Bona allege that Combs dangled Bona off the balcony. The defense argues that this incident never even happened.   This makes it sound like the defense is grasping at straws to get a mistrial. However, the energy in the courtroom has been interesting lately. The defense has been taking some large “wins” in cross examinations. Some netizens believe that their biggest win yet was “taking down” the second victim to testify, Mia.   Netizens believe that the defense has completely dismantled her story and that she came off “unlikeable” on the stand. But the prosecutors argue that all the defense did was harass, argue, and further traumatize a victim on the stand. Prosecutors argue that the cross examination was so brutal and humiliating that it might deter future victims from testifying in criminal cases. So which one is true?   This is the testimony of Mia.

“Diddy, they’re laughing at you! This is not a game!”   The lady is screaming in the back of the courtroom. Everyone whips their heads around to stare - and there she is. Staring off 3 court officers and threatening them to take out their gun.    “Diddy is walking perfection. Take out your guns!”   The woman has been banned from the courthouse, wore a scarf around her head (not for religious reasons), and snuck into the very courtroom where Diddy is now staring straight at her. Mouth agape.    This was the very important message that she had to deliver -    “They’re laughing at you.”   She is dragged out of the courtroom but that is not the last we will hear from her. She has been there almost every single day during the USA v. Sean Combs case and there have been rumors circulating that she is a paid actor.    But why?          Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We have been having a lot of weird encounters during the trial of USA v. Sean Combs. Too many people have been persistently asking the same questions and now it’s starting to just feel weird.    There are people outside the courthouse swinging wooden planks at reporters, spitting on news anchors, and threatening to take someone out with a sock filled with pool balls.    These are all the strange encounters we have had during the Diddy trial.  What is really happening here?       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“Did Diddy try to kill Kid Cudi?”   In 2012, only a few gossip pages were wondering this question with the vast majority of readers wondering - “who even comes up with these crazy rumors?”   Now, in 2025, it might not just be a rumor.   Kid Cudi takes the witness stand to testify against Sean Combs. The man who allegedly broke into Kid Cudi’s house, lit his car on fire, and according to a former assistant - the man who wanted Kid Cudi dead.   This is Kid Cudi’s full testimony in the USA v. Sean Combs case and the reactions of celebrities turning on him after his story.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Two full days after the start of the “Diddy Trial” - a new lawsuit is filed. A woman is accusing Sean Combs of SA and states that she recalls his private part being an “itty bitty Diddy.”    She includes a photo of a teeny tiny tootsie roll for reference.    This is just one of the many civil lawsuits filed against Sean Combs. Many of the people that have sued him are also showing up to the trial to testify against him. Which begs the question, how many more witnesses will be coming to get justice?   Dawn Richards, a former band mate of Sean Combs, shows up in court seemingly ready to take him down. To finally tell her story.   She says she watched him attack Cassie with a skillet. That the next morning he threatened her and everyone around them to stay silent. Or else…   But once the cross examination by Diddy’s attorneys begin - it feels like her entire story starts unraveling. Or is that just what Diddy’s attorneys want us to think? This is the truth behind her brutal testimony.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is the first time they have seen each other since their break up in 2018. Over 6 years.  And now they’re going to be on opposite sides of the courtroom - she’s going to be up on the stand testifying against him.  Detailing all the things she didn’t want to do. The urination. The inflatable pool in the middle of a hotel room filled to the brim with baby oil. The seedy green “adult activity” club in Las Vegas. Even breaking up with Kid Cudi.  And he will sit there and listen for 2 days straight while she tells the jurors about the injuries he gave her. How he stomped on her face and blackmailed her with explicit videos.  All their private messages, photos, and emails will be shown to the court. This is the testimony of Cassie Ventura against Sean Diddy Combs and the reactions of her, her husband, and Sean Combs in the courtroom.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The energy in the courtroom has shifted. Sean Combs no longer looks like a statuesque wax figurine. He is now much more animated, literally jumping out of his seat to look at the evidence screen, there is almost an air of anticipation.    But why? For the past 2 days Cassie Ventura, a government witness and victim in this case, has been testifying against Sean Combs. Now, the defense will begin their cross examination.    Sean Combs’s attorneys will attempt to poke holes in Cassie’s story, discredit her, and show the jurors that she “wanted freak offs.”   Everyone seems to be under the impression that the defense has very slim evidence to accomplish this. Then why is Sean Combs so happy? Do they know something we do not? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“Mr. Combs came out of the room, and I just saw a liquor bottle fly past her and hit the wall. He grabbed her by her hair, and started dragging her by her hair into her bedroom. And I could hear what sound like him slapping her. She was screaming. Then Mr. Combs was basically saying, b*tch, when I tell you to come here, you come now, not later.” “Did you intervene?” “No, I was terrified.”   This is Day 2 of Diddy’s trial.

Some attorneys say the case is decided before opening statements in a trial even begin. They believe the trial begins and ends during jury selection.    Picking 12 people to decide what happens to Sean “Diddy” Combs.    Some potential jurors come in - stating they’ve seen the hotel video of Diddy and Cassie. Others mention that they work at HBO - the same company that released a documentary on Diddy’s case. One juror mentions that they work at the very jail that Diddy is currently housed in.    Diddy intently listens to the jurors getting questioned. At times - he shakes his head no, he smiles, he takes notes, and he jokes around with his famous attorneys.    And sometimes…he looks back and stares at the members of the press.    There are no cameras allowed in a federal courtroom. But we were there and we want to tell you what we saw.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There are only a few ways of getting out of it alive. The one rule - no matter how good it feels - DO NOT let sleep whisk you away. The only options are as follows: 1. Cover yourself completely in plastic and only stick your head out to breathe when necessarily. 2. Crawl into a cardboard box and try your best to stay awake. 3. Take the frozen goods and stick them into your clothing.   That is how you stay alive if you are trapped inside of a commercial walk in freezer. Or at least that’s what they say but the odds of survival do not look good.   The police are concerned that, that is where 5 year old, Ashley, is going to be. Maybe she accidentally locked herself in the freezer with no way out?   The officers look through the freezer bins, cardboard boxes filled with packaged meats, and grocery bags…   She’s is not there. But that’s the thing about humans - we all have a blind spot. They looked left, right, under the tables of the restaurant… but have they looked up?           Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The hardest part to understand is - you know that they’re dead but you still expect them to start moving around. That’s what the CSI techs say is the strangest part of their jobs. Well - that and the photographs that they have to take.   The evidence log for the case is extensive. There are pictures of the green door that leads into the unit. Unit #1707.   Pictures of the thick trail of blood leading from the living room couch, into the hallway, and straight into the bedroom. Pictures of the bloody claw hammer. Pictures of the brain matter scattered all over the carpet.   But the two pictures the investigators really are intrigued by are the two letters left behind by the killer.   One left for the police. Taunting the police. “Chase me oh - and sorry for the mess.”   And another one that reads - “Don’t lose your head. She may yet live (although I doubt it). Hurry Desirae.”   Desirae is the 23 year old daughter of the murder victim. Why would they kill Desirae’s mom? Why are they targeting Desirae now? And will the killer get to Desirae before the police can?         Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Where is the first place she goes after being released from prison? The investigators and reports want to know… They start following her - into the mountains?   The first place she visits has an unsettling feeling. It’s in the middle of the mountains and there is a giant stone monument at the entrance that reads - “final resting place for souls.”   What is that pink building? It’s a square baby pink shade colored building with NO doors. Just two tiny prison style windows. That’s it. Outside the building there are all sorts of “offerings” for the spirits…   Whoever built this “temple” built it to feed off the energy of dead spirits. Whoever did this - is using dark magic to their benefit.   When reporters look into it - they realize the pink home allegedly belongs to the President of South Korea and the First Lady of the nation.   The ones accused of using shaman magic to win the election, change the trajectory of the nation, and ultimately lock down the country to take control.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don’t make sense.    After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he’s now missing.    He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents. The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour?   What about his mom’s “Burn After Reading” letter? She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel.    Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized? These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead.    The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible?    Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent’s house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

15 days before the murder.    “Hello, I would like to report a dispute. I saw a gentleman slapping the woman.”   The police chase after the van life YouTuber couple in their white, sprinter van. By the end of the hour long investigation of questioning both Gabby and Brian - the two police officers step off to the side to figure out what to do next. One officer tells the other -    “Too many times women who are at risk want to go back to their abuser. They don’t want him charged. They don’t want him to go to jail. Then they end up getting worse and worse treatment and then they end up getting killed.”    The officers decide not to press DV charges….against Gabby. They believe she is the primary aggressor.    In 2 weeks Gabby Petito will be murdered.  And the only person that might know where she is - goes missing.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

2 people are rushed into the emergency room. The doctors and nurses don’t ask questions - they have one objective in mind. Save these people.    Both are suffering from stab wounds. Sadly, only 1 of them will make it. 8 year old, Haneul, is deceased from multiple stab wounds to her neck, back, and chest.    The 48 year old woman however, is alive.    The nurses try to piece together what might have happened with the little information they have. The older woman is a teacher. The 8 year old girl was attacked in her elementary school.    Perhaps, a knife wielding madman snuck into the school and attacked the little girl. Perhaps, the teacher tried to protect her student but was stabbed in the process. It will be difficult to tell the teacher that her student that she presumably tried to protect - did not make it.    But when the teacher wakes up - the nurses don’t know how to handle the situation anymore.

“I don’t do naughty things, I’m a really good girl.”   That is what Ruby Franke tells her husband Kevin in a recorded jail call. She’s a really good girl - that almost killed 2 of their youngest children.    She kept them locked away in her marriage counselor/“lovers” mansion basement - torturing them for months. Soon, all the evidence will come out - their abuse diaries, the alleged romantic relationship, and the grim detail that they were planning on buying a 500 acre property in the middle of nowhere to carry out more extreme abuse.    But the question on many people’s minds is - how was nobody else involved and how did nobody else know what was happening?   Kevin Franke, Ruby’s devoted husband, has become the center of conspiracy theories. With people wondering just how much he knew, just how much he’s covering up now, and if he should be charged. Also, why did he try to sue his oldest daughter after his wife was arrested?   What about the mysterious woman - Pam? Two Franke teenage girls were found deep cleaning her home the day of the arrests. How come she doesn’t appear that shocked to find out what Ruby had been doing? Is it because she knew all along?   And what will Ruby and Jodi do to each other in prison? Will they turn on each other to save themselves - or do they still believe everyone is working with the devil?       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It was the most viewed home on realtor websites for weeks. It’s a curious looking house. As you swipe through the photos of the 15 foot tall ceilings, the grand glass windows, the $5M price tag starts to make sense.    But what is that? There is an entire concrete bunker like structure underneath the house with its very own panic room. A bank vault door - leading to a room with a toilet and sink.    To keep people out - and to keep people in.  This is the home that Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt tortured Ruby’s 2 youngest children in. There are detailed diaries left behind by Ruby Franke describing how she tortured them with cactuses, pouring cayenne pepper and honey into their wounds, and all the unique punishments she came up with.    All the while posting podcast episodes - giving advice to other moms.  How to be a perfect mom.  Just like her.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jodi is one of the most recommended marriage therapists in the area but there’s something about her that feels - wrong.    “Every relationship needs to die in order to be reborn.”   Her pattern is simple yet effective.  Find the husband’s addiction. Each husband has one. It’s usually watching too many explicit videos, staring too long at his female coworkers, or just having too many inappropriate thoughts.    Find the addiction. And stomp. It. Out.  Shame the husband for how he’s ruining the family and give the wife strength and power to run away from him… straight into Jodi’s arms.    It almost seems like that is her intention.  And it seems to work like a charm - every single time.  And just maybe - if Jodi really tries… maybe the men will even end up in prison. Then the wife will have nobody but Jodi.    Youtuber / family blogger, Ruby Franke, should be very familiar with this. Because now all she has - is Jodi.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s the middle of the desert and the pavement is scorching hot. If you dare to step barefoot on it, it’s the equivalent of sticking your foot on a cast iron pan on high heat. Enough to cause instant blisters.   But the 12 year old boy has no choice. He has once more chance to escape and he needs to make it to a neighbors house for safety. He crawls out the window and starts pacing. If nobody is home - that could be the end. There are only 3 homes in this part of the desert.   The 1 he’s been locked up and tortured in. The 1 where nobody would answer the door. And 1 last chance.   If he can make it there before they catch him. Or if the duct tape around his ankles don’t melt into him.   August 30, 2023 - this little boys escape will kick start an investigation into one of the biggest family vloggers on YouTube.   This is the case of Ruby Franke - the woman who has been vlogging herself abusing her 6 kids for years, and has locked away the two youngest in a windowless safe room - to be tortured.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Police find 10 year old Victoria’s body completely dismembered. Her arms, legs, and organs were severed off and the rest of her body was lit on fire.   When they bring in Victoria’s mother, Michelle, the pieces of the puzzle start coming together.   Michelle states that her boyfriend, Fabian, had been sexually assaulting Victoria.   Michelle states that she liked to watch. But that night in particular it got a bit too wild. Fabian accidentally chokes and kills Victoria during the assault.   Michelle states she sat there and watched Fabian and his cousin dismember Victoria.   Then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and soon after had sex with Fabian. This thing is normal for her. She had been going online to find predators to come assault her kid so this is what she wanted.   That’s what Michelle tells the authorities but two years later - she takes it all back. She says it was a false confession.   But that doesn’t explain - what happened to Victoria? Is there any truth at all to this false confession?   And who is the unknown male DNA they found on Victoria?       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A woman walks into the Pavena Foundation.   “You have to help me!! Please!”   She frantically tells the nonprofit that she has just escaped from the country of Georgia.

The man is walking alone in the rain. He’s not pacing, or trying to cover his face with his arm, he is just slowly walking in the rain. He looks like he’s in the middle of a k-drama scene.   To his left there is a whole wall of reporters just silently recording him. Waiting to see what he’s going to do next. He gives them what they want. He collapses onto the ground and cries out to the skies.   “My wife!”   This is not just a random man having a mental breakdown. This is billionaire Fei. One of the “Young Masters of Beijing.” A group of billionaire boys who are known to be party playboys.   His ex wife, Barbie, has just passed away.   But why is he crying in the rain?   Wasn’t he the one that cheated on her?

In Brazil, this specific prison is known as the “real dungeons.”   Because once you get in - you feel like you’re trapped in hell until they let you out. That is - if you can even get out alive.   BBC reporters are there to interview one of the most high profile prisoners. Every single prisoner in there has been deemed a dangerous criminal - this one even more so.   She walks out. Thin frame. Short blonde hair.   She used to be a model in NYC and was reported to have dated Leonardo DiCaprio. What is she doing in here?   “Why are you in here?” - they ask her.   “They say I can control people minds. Change their brains.” - she responds.   “Can you?”   “What do you think? Can I? I hope so… when I get out you will see the power that I have and if it is real or not.”   “Is that a threat”   Did the prisoner just threaten the BBC reporters?   This is the case of Kat Torres - the Brazilian Instagram “influencer” with over 1 million followers that has been charged with human trafficking and slavery charges.       Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

16 year old Manohara is walking up towards the private plane. Her mother and sister are grabbing their bags from the black car behind her. She’s walking up the private jet steps… when she feels something. It’s a wave of panic?   A sixth sense? Something in her body is telling her this is not where she should be right now. She turns around and starts heading back down the steps when she hears footsteps behind her. 5 burly men come up behind her and grab her by the arms, dragging her onto the plane.   They slam her down onto her seat and refuse to let her leave.

“New Parent Decision Coin.”   It’s a great gag gift for new parents. On one side it reads - “daddy’s turn” and on the other it reads “mommy’s turn.” When the baby starts getting fussy, you flip the coin, and whoever’s side it lands on gets to take care of the new baby.   13 year old Maddie sends the link to the coin with the text -   “We need this - can you get this for us?”   She sends the text message to her mom’s 37 year old boyfriend, Stephan Sterns. It does not appear that Maddie’s mother is pregnant… so who is the coin for?   2 months later - Maddie is found dead.   Her “stepfather” is arrested and graphic pictures and videos of Maddie are found on his phone.   Did he kill her?   Why did he kill her?   Was she pregnant?   And how did her mother not know anything about this?   Those are all the questions netizens have in the case of Madeline Soto.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The plot of a famous thriller goes viral. It goes something like this.   A wife is called into the police station to talk about her husband. There are pictures of her husband with another girl. Graphic photos and now that girl is missing.   Does the wife know what her husband did to the missing girl? Will the wife support her husband or leave him immediately?   Jennifer Soto is at the police station and unfortunately for her - this is not a book plot.   “Do you recognize your boyfriend’s penis?” “Yes. That’s him.”   She is shown graphic photos of her boyfriend and the girl that has now gone missing but Jennifer isn’t convinced her boyfriend did anything wrong. She says -   “I believe the sex stuff but I don’t think he did anything evil.” The investigators pause. What did she just say? They’re disgusted.   Because the missing girl is Jennifer’s own daughter. 13 year old Madeline Soto.   The one her 37yr old boyfriend has been abusing. And yet she defends him?           Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There’s been a crime in the workplace. Tim, the man in charge, is tasked with figuring out what exactly happened.   He calls in the informants and sits them down at his desk.   “What did you hear?”   They lean forward - “I heard that they meet after hours in her car and they’re having a very inappropriate relationship. She might even be pregnant.”   Tim takes notes. He interviews each of the people that could know exactly what happened… before concluding. These are all just workplace rumors. There is nothing more he should do about it.   There’s just no way that Teacher Of The Year - Brittany Zamora is SAing her 13 year old student in a classroom full of kids.   There’s no way.

Dina and Tim know that the footage is going to be bad. They had already seen glimpses… but they weren’t prepared.   The baby camera footage shows a 56 year old woman standing at the edge of the bed. She’s emotionless yet she's holding a newborn baby in her arms...   She takes a moment before calmly - using all her force - to chuck the baby across the room onto the bed. Ever so calmly she walks over and stuffs blankets into the baby’s mouth and slams her down.   This is the case of the worst nanny in San Francisco.

“I thought trash day was just a few days ago?”   Diane hears her neighbors bringing out their trash bins to the street. How is it already trash day? Diane is a young, single mom, and sometimes things slip her mind. She shrugs and grabs the trash bins.   As she’s walking out of her backyard - a man and a young woman appear in front of her. They smash her on the head with a metal pipe. They grab a bottle and pour hot, burning, liquid acid all down her face and back.   Diane knows exactly who did this to her. Her ex-bf. The YouTuber known for eating raw squirrels and pig heads on the streets of London.   He just tried killing her. And he’s going to try again.

December 12th is the night that everyone has been waiting for.   The invitation is cryptic - it takes some guests weeks to figure out what it reads.   “Sdaeh tsilaer & sesserd gnol eit kcalb?”   The secret is this - you have to reflect it into the mirror to figure out what it says.   “Black tie, long dresses & surrealist heads.”   Welcome to the Rothschild's (one of the wealthiest and most powerful families) newest secret party. Everyone walks in donning a giant bejeweled mask of animals that you would normally hunt. Stags. Deer. Birds in cages.   The staff in the massive mansion are dressed as cats, perched on the stairs, meowing at the passing guests. There’s no way they’re not hunting people afterwards right?   That’s always been the conspiracy. Rich people hunting the poor for sport. But what if it is true?

It’s the biggest church in South Korea but nobody knows it exists. The church itself can fit at least 4,000 church goers all at once. But that’s not the intriguing part of the church… they just do things differently.   There are a row of people standing in front of the pastor. They are asking him for forgiveness but they’re all wearing the same thing. A red sack with big ugly painted letters on there that read “I am a sinner who has gone against God’s word.”   Pastor Lim prays over them - one by one. Before he turns around and pulls out a set of red boxing gloves. He slowly, calmly puts them on and starts beating the people down. He doesn’t stop till the entire row of red sack wearing people are bloody on the floor.   Then he calmly fixes his clothes and heads back to the podium to continue preaching to the church goers.   This is not a cult story.   This is Brother’s Home. A government funded camp to cleanse the humans of South Korea ahead of the Olympics.   The true story behind the Squid Game show.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

They’re all wearing the same blue tracksuit. Thousands of them standing out in the middle of the woods wearing the same thing. What is this place?   They’re out in the middle of the woods - in what appears to be a small secretive city? A military base? How did they get 60+ buildings out here in the middle of the forest?   And that giant wall… it’s 30 feet tall. Tall enough to keep people out. Or keep them in.    The guards are watching each of the track suit wearing people with precision. One wrong move and you get beat. That’s when they hear it…    The man starts running up onto the roof of one of the buildings - and there he goes. He flies off the top and lands in front of everyone. On his head.    Someone standing right there says - “honestly, I didn’t know the sound of someone’s head exploding could make such a loud splitting sound. I saw his skull explode open.”   A guard member walks out and sweeps up his brains and bones as if nothing happened. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? It kind of sounds like the plot of one of the most famous series on Netflix, Squid Game.   But it’s not.    This is the real life case of the Brother’s Home in South Korea.  The true story behind Squid Game.   Full source note: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I received an email from the ex-wife of a serial killer. The subject reads: “ I was married to a serial killer for 7.5 years and I need help!!”   Her ex husband was sentenced to death for the murder of 3 women.

She was not only one of the first people he tried to kill but now her son (that she shares with him) has been taken.

Sang’s mom is haunted. Everyone has their own explanations for it but it’s that simple.  Every time she sets the dinner table - she stares at the empty seat. Sometimes smiling, sometimes pouting, but always as if someone is sitting there.  Sang would ask -  “Mom, is everything alright?” “Just make sure to save some of the meat for Niuniu - you know that’s her favorite.” Sang’s mom would motion at the empty chair and smile.  The haunting started when Niuniu, Sang’s little sister, went missing. Nobody knew what happened to her other than the fact that she received a creepy doll with moving eyes shortly before she went missing.  26 years later Niuniu would come back to tell everyone the truth. She was kidnapped, trafficked, and sold. After 26 years she was coming back to kill her trafficker. Get her revenge.      Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Do you trust a random stranger to give you life-altering advice? A TikToker is standing on the sidewalk with a giant pasteboard - “ASK ME FOR FREE ADVICE.”  A middle aged man on a bike stops and asks “Do I go to Uzbekistan or stay here?” The whole exchange is bizarre. She asks him why would he move? He tells her for a woman. She asks him why doesn’t he just date an American woman? He tells her that he’s already married with kids… All of this is made more confusing by the fact that the entire time the man appears calm. He’s pleasant and keeps smiling…  That TikTok is filmed in June. In August, just 2 months later, a man goes missing in one of the deepest lakes in the state. He’s presumed dead.  But why does he look identical to the man in the TikTok video?

“I woke up alone in a hospital. There is nobody here. I can’t find a single person. Humanity is extinct. The date is February 2027.” That is from a viral TikToker, Javier, who claims he is from the future to warn us about humanity. But there’s no way he’s actually from the future, right? Meanwhile, in Miami - an IG model is telling the police - “the aliens are coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming.” The authorities are confused. She tells them - “I’m from the future. I’m a crystal ball. You can live off me.” The police ask her if she remembers what happened.  “Yes, I remember. I died.” Puzzling. Because she’s not dead. She is very much alive but just one block down there are two people that are dead and they’re not coming back.  Full Source Note: www.rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s the middle of the day in South Korea. Koreans are at work, grabbing lunch, picking up their kids from school, minding their own business.  Amongst them is an American man named Ramsey- who clearly does not look like he’s up to any good.  He’s live-streaming on his phone while glancing from side to side.  When he feels the coast is clear he takes out his portable speaker… and starts playing… Diddy’s song “Last Night.” He runs in front of the camera, takes off his shirt, and starts pouring baby oil down his torso.  He starts dancing on the female figure in front of him. Sexually rubbing his body on her frame.  This video will go viral in South Korea. And a new game will start - hunting Ramsey.  Objective of the game? Hunt Ramsey.  Find Ramsey.  Punch Ramsey. Because the female figure he tried smothering in baby oil is not any random statue. It is the statue representing the hundreds of thousands of young girls who were taken, enslaved, and SA’d dozens of times per day for years during the war.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A mysterious new book starts making its way to the top of the Best Sellers category on Amazon books. It just doesn’t make sense though. The book isn’t authored by a well known author… on top of that, it’s quite a pricey book.  59 pages.  $22. Reviewers say it’s riddled with typos and factual inaccuracies. Why is it suddenly on the best sellers list? The title is: “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey For Justice From The Other Side” It claims to be a memoir written by Kim Porter, Diddy’s ex gf, and the mother of his 4 children.  Part of the introduction reads: “He was so charming - a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A devil and I fell for it. This story must be told despite the fact that it will hurt my children. I cannot hide it any longer. Sean Combs must be stopped....” But there’s no way Kim Porter published it herself - because she passed away in 2018.  So who wrote it? The author claims he received a flash drive from close sources. But is he trustworthy?  But more importantly - why are netizens calling for Kim Porter’s death to be re-investigated?

Jonathan Oddi has a lot of conspiracies. He believes everything has been engineered with agendas to create the most chaos and confusion possible - that is the fall of humans.  That’s what he’s telling confused investigators in the interrogation room after firing shots inside of a hotel. He’s telling them he did this to wake up the American people from the illuminati. The officers ask him how he knows all of this…  He slams his hand on the table and asks -  “Do you know Sean Combs?” Is he talking about Diddy? The music mogul, billionaire, and famous artist?  “I was basically his sex slave.” Jonathan Oddi claims he was having intimate relations with Diddy’s then girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, while Diddy watched. He says while he was there he was forced to take liquid cocaine and he heard LOTS of important details.  Like how Diddy is part of the illuminati.  How they’re all transporting drugs in private jets across the US.  And how Diddy was having him followed.  In 2018 - everyone believed he was a dangerous unhinged man coming up with the most fantastical stories.  In 2024 - everyone is wondering… maybe he’s right about everything…  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A woman named Ashley walks into the emergency room with strange injuries. Bruises all over her body. Scrape marks on knees and bite marks on her face.  The nurses don’t feel comfortable with her explanation of how she sustained such severe injuries. The only answer that makes sense to them… is abuse. Severe abuse. A beating.  They call the police to report it - and by the end of the night, the patient is dead.  Now the police are left to investigate - her boyfriend. Her affair partner from work. Her lover’s girlfriend. And even his little 17-year-old sister.  4 different people with connections with Ashely.  4 different reactions to the news of her death.  And 2 responsible for killing her.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ronan’s 6 year old daughter has finally come back home but something is not right. Ever since the little girl got home strange things have been happening…  A cockroach breaking through the window. The child suddenly growing double the teeth in her mouth. Somehow she’s able to shut doors that are on the other side of the room. She’s talking to people who aren’t there…  Ronan knows why. Her little daughter is possessed and it’s up to her to find out how to break the curse.  That sounds like the plot of a movie - doesn’t it? It is - the horror film “Incantation.” It is arguably one of the scariest horror films to be released recently. Yet.  It’s all based on a true story of a family of 6 in Taiwan. A family where they all became possessed until finally 1 of them dies.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lucy Li is sitting in a small room with a blanket draping over her shoulders.  A man sits in front of her and asks about how her flight was. “It’s not the best flight experience, I’m not used to sitting in tight spaces… And I feel really bad for the officers that had to come and get me because they had to make stopovers…” She puts her hand to her heart, “Me and mom was really concerned about that. And we offered Interpol to tell them we would fly them private.” Lucy has just gotten off an international flight from Eastern Europe after a murder (double murder attempt), fleeing to multiple countries, and being wanted by Interpol for months.  She’s just a little unhappy that she wasn’t able to fly private to come home.

For the low price of $200k you can freeze yourself. Freeze yourself so that one day you can reach immortality. One day in the future, if someone can figure out how to make humans immortal - all they have to do is thaw you out.  It’s a luxury only the wealthy can afford.  In Taiwan, an 18 year old boy has been kept in the morgue freezer for over a year now.  But it’s not because he’s trying to reach immortality. He’s been frozen for a completely different reason.  People are demanding answers to his very suspicious death.  These are the events before he mysteriously fell 10 floors to his death  One week before - he inherits $500M. 2 hours before - he marries a total stranger.  Now the question is - did someone kill him? Was it an accident? And who is going to get his money?  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There was this rumor going around in the K-Pop world in 2016 If you want your favorite artist to do well – you have to buy their albums from two specific retailers… One of those companies was called Synnara Records.  At their height, it is said they had a 30% share of the record market volume. They are one of the rare business success stories raking in millions of dollars.  Until you dig deeper.  The name Synarra means- New Nation. The record company was founded by a woman who wanted to create a new nation for her followers.  A woman who allegedly forced young healthy men to line up outside her door to wait for their golden chance to be SA’d by her.  A woman who was tried for the torture and murder of a 5 year old baby.  This is the story of the Baby Garden cult - and how they made millions in the K-Pop industry without anyone knowing… They’re still around to this day.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There is an annual competition - where 10 groups come together to use NASA level technology to beat each other in a high speed race. Who can create the fastest car. Who can go the fastest and win.  The key component here is to stay alive because when you’re driving at 200mph. It’s not an easy feat.  That’s why the Formula 1 drivers get paid so much.

He doesn’t know it yet but his wife is about to divorce him. They have been married for the past 50 years and everyone that knows them - believes them to be the perfect couple.  How is he going to explain that it was all an accident?

7-year-old Heaven was brought into the Budha House to be healed. The neighbors who brought her in tried to explain - she had been playing and hanging onto a bar when she fell and hit her head. She is now unconscious.  But the healers could just take one look at Heaven and know - the little girl is dead.  When Heaven’s mom finally sees Heaven’s little body - she finds something even more puzzling. Her mouth is filled with cement. Her autopsy shows she was assaulted “front and back” and had these weird little cuts all over her body.  On her neck, you could almost make out the 5 fingers that were wrapped around her. Suffocating her.  It feels like all the neighbors are in on some big conspiracy. Why do they keep insisting that she fell when it’s so clear she did not. What are they hiding? Heaven’s mom is going to figure out what the hell happened to her daughter.  https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-heaven-and-her-mother Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s said the parents of Nova (Northern Virginia) have their little groups that they stick to during school drop offs and pick ups. It’s an upscale neighborhood - with many residents working in government as politicians or even federal agents. It’s only a 30 minute drive to DC.  But there is one woman that most moms likely avoid at the school bus stop.  The new live in lover of the federal agent that lives down the street.  The whole thing is just eerie.  She moved into that house just months after the federal agent’s wife was brutally murdered.  And now she’s dropping off the murdered woman’s child as if… as if she’s trying to take her place? It’s just strange.  It makes people question - did she have something to do with the murder? And who was the other man that was found dead in their house?

South Korea is going through an erase all faces panic. Every single selfie is being wiped from the internet just in case. As a response - a male college student wrote on a forum -  “Put a finger down and ask yourself  Have I ever been asked out or confessed to? (Joke confessions do not count)  Do a lot of men try to talk to me even though I don’t talk to them first? Have I ever looked into the mirror and resented my parents? Can other people recognize me without makeup? Do I weigh more than 145 pounds? Do I frequent feminist online forums? When I walk on the street, do children avoid me? If you answered yes to more than 3 of these questions - don’t worry. Your rate of being a victim of sexual deep fakes is very low. Men have standards too. We don’t just deepfake any woman.” This is the case of the “new Nth Rooms” where over 400 schools have been found to be operating illegal chatrooms where students are getting deepfaked into sexually explicit photos and videos.  A whole network of deep fake trading and creating has been found.  Most victims and perpetrators? Teenagers.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Grandma C knew that something wasn’t right about what she was looking at. Her daughter is standing there holding her 2-month-old baby. But everything is wrong.  Her daughter’s pants are soaked in urine.  The way she’s talking sounds like someone clamped her tongue, and two-month-old baby Mirabelle is not moving.  In fact, Mirabelle’s little face is bright angry red and her body seems stiff.  Grandma C rushes to put her down and unzips baby Mirabelle’s onesie…  She’s peeling. The skin on her entire body is peeling.  Mirabelle’s mom starts to explain that she must have suffered a stroke while holding her baby and fell on top of her… onto the space heater. Squashing her baby into the space heater and burning her.  But when authorities arrive - they start to think differently.  Because Mirabelle’s injuries are not consistent with someone who has been burned by a space heater. Also, why was her little purple pacifier found in the microwave? Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There is a college student laying down on the hospital bed. She’s staring up at the ceiling in distress as someone records her silently from the corner of the room.  “I’m going to have such a long day tomorrow - I’m not going to answer anyone’s Snapchats!” The person recording does not respond.  “Well, you’re too quiet. I’m going to start singing since I hate the quiet.”  The girl gets up in the hospital bed to perform Justin Bieber’s “Intentions.” She’s whipping her head around like she’s giving a stage performance on tour. She just doesn’t understand why the man in the room with her is so stiff. Loosen up. Have some fun.  He snaps at her - “you want me to be honest with you? You’re going to jail. You don’t have bond. You killed two people tonight. That’s what’s going on. So no, you’re not going to school tomorrow.” This is the case of Stephanie Melgoza - the college student who killed two people and proceeded to complain the whole time about how she needed to go to class, told the officers about how excited she was for her Vegas trip, and sang songs at the crime scene.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hospitals are no strangers to death. But something very odd was happening inside the walls of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College.  The medical students, junior doctors, professors were all running away from the classroom. Screaming.  Administrators rushed to call Dr. Di’s parents.  ‘She self exited.’ That is what her parents were told. Their precious daughter had taken her own life. Perhaps it was the unbearable pressure and long work hours? Or not.  The autopsy would show that Dr. D, a 31 year old female doctor, was found gang SA’d to the point her pelvic bone was damaged, bleeding from her eyes, mouth, and private parts, bite marks all over, and her legs found bent at an unnatural contorted angle. Anyone could see that she clearly had not taken her own life.  So then, why would her parents be told that? Who is the hospital protecting? What are they covering up?  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The entire courtroom is quiet as each person walks up to the front and points. They point at this tiny miniature model of a movie theater sitting on the table.  The tiny blue miniature-model seats are positioned just like they were when it all happened.  3 years ago - the emergency exit door to Theater 9 would open. A man with bright orange hair wearing tactical gear would walk into the theater - and open fire.  At the midnight premiere of Batman The Dark Knight Rises.  He is now sitting in the courtroom charged with 24 counts of murder, 140 counts of attempted murder, and 1 count of illegal explosives.  But there are still so many questions - he told his psychiatrist months prior that he wanted to kill people. Why wasn’t he put on a psychiatric hold? Why did he write a notebook filled with his plans to mail to her? Why did he, a neuroscience major, hate humanity so much to believe in something as vile as “human capital?” The idea that taking a life increases the value of your own.    Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On June 1, 2024, A Korean YouTube channel uploaded a video titled - “Pack Ki Beom, did you think that I wouldn’t find you?” The video includes details about Pack’s personal life. Showing his comfortable luxurious lifestyle with his wife and young daughter. It would appear that overnight Korean netizens flock to Pack’s page leaving hate comments. “I hope your daughter gets taken away from you.” “I hope the same thing happens to your daughter - then what will you do?” It seemed overnight all of Korea would turn on a random civilian named Pack Ki Beom. 20 years ago Pack was the ringleader of the Miryang 44 case. Where 44 high school students blackmailed, tortured, and SA’d a middle school girl for over a year straight. All 44 perpetrators were not punished. Without even a mark on their criminal records. They were free to live as anonymous free men in the world. Until June 1st. This would be the start of a string of vigilante justice YouTubers releasing the identities and doxxing the perpetrators involved. One by one. Leaving everyone in South Korea to wonder - do I know one?   Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ophelia, an Italian mafia boss, had a thing for fingers. She likes the way they curve, the soft bend at the knuckles, the tender skin, just everything about hands. She loves.  She just hates that she only has one.  Her hand was cut off in a war with the enemy mafia over territory.  Ophelia is sitting at a bar when Kim walks in. Kim is part of the enemy mafia. Kim sits down and slides over a gift.  Ophelia peers inside and a small smile creeps onto her face…. This is perfect.  So beautiful.  She uses both of her hands to place the gift bag under the table. Yes, both of her hands.  Because Ophelia’s hands were never cut off.  She’s not a mafia boss.  In fact, her name is not even Ophelia.  She is a South Korean high schooler who joined a role playing game. But now the question is - who is Kim? Because inside the gift bag are very very real human lungs and flesh.  Including a pretty little finger. Ophelia’s favorite.    Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You could send pictures or even nudes! Though on second thought…they’ll probably get flagged and he won’t even be able to read them. Maybe a love poem? “I know you’ve been hurt, but I’ll be with you. I see the pain in your eyes.” It’s kind of like the bachelor; everyone fighting for one man’s affections. Who’s going to come out on top? Only, this man is not the bachelor. He’s a killer.

7-year-old Mary Galvin has plans to kill her older brother. The way he roams around town with that empty gaze. The way their parents refuse to talk about his behavior. It was all going to end. Mary had her older brother, Donald Galvin, tied to a tree as she gathers sticks to pile at his feet. He is a witch about to be burnt at the stake. Donald is more than happy to play along. In the end, Mary backs out of her plan to kill him—she didn’t bring matches along and by the time she realizes what she’s really doing—she’s sprinting away like it never happened. Donald is fine either way. If she had gone through with it he would’ve happily died right then and there because to him, Mary is more than just his little sister. She is the Virgin Mary. The Mother of Christ himself—and it makes sense—because they’re not even real siblings. Donald had been switched at birth and his real mother is actually an octopus. This is the story of the ‘most mentally disturbed family in America’ (according to one psychiatrist). 12 full blood siblings living in one house. 6 out of the 12 siblings would be diagnosed with schizophrenia.

They are the only ones inside the laundromat and they need help.  The two sisters are standing over baby Benson’s tiny body trying to do chest compressions. Everything was fine two seconds ago.  He was asleep in the car and they brought him while they were running errands - why is he ice cold to the touch? None of this makes sense? When the police arrive at the scene. They agree. None of this makes sense.  Because baby Benson was dead when the sisters pulled him out of his car seat to perform CPR. He was dead when they walked into the laundromat.  In fact - he had been dead for a few hours.  Which begs the questions - how long has he been dead, how did nobody notice, and who did this to him?  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This was probably the strangest call the Hollywood police received.  A foul stench coming from an apartment unit. A dead man is found with his head painted green and red. He didn’t even look human - he looked like he was wearing a mask.  But in front of him is a tripod set up - with a camera. Someone had filmed his death. In fact, someone had filmed 20 hours of this man losing his mind. His mental collapse.  20 hours of footage that shows him slowly losing touch with reality and start living fully in his fantasy world. His ultimate fantasy?

The police had a strange situation on their hands. A thief had broken into a multi-million dollar home - to steal a safe. The safe had 3 items in it. Jewelry. Investment documents. And the home owner’s old phones. The police were able to quickly determine that the thief did not want the jewelry or the investment documents in the safe. Which means - the thief is going after the home owner’s old phones. Why would a thief want some old phones? Was there something on there that they didn’t want anyone else to see? But most puzzling is - who would do this to Goo Hara? The home belonged to a k-pop idol who had just died just 49 days ago. What did they want from her safe? And how does this connect to the Burning Sun case? Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A young man calls the police around 3:30 am to report that he had just been physically assaulted by his ex-girlfriend. Officers are dispatched and the caller greets them with a few red scratches on his face. He had gone over to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment to break up with her—but that’s when she went crazy; scratching his face and twisting his arm. The officers ask the man for her name. Goo Hara. A K-pop idol from the girl group KARA.   When the police begin investigating, the man’s story begins to fall apart. If what he’s saying is true, why is there CCTV footage of Goo Hara on her knees—seemingly begging the young man? Why did he email Dispatch, a Korean tabloid, twice during this so-called ‘one sided assault?’ And what does all of this have to do with Burning Sun? A couple of months pass, and Goo Hara helps reporters blow the lid off the Burning Sun case. Not even a year later, she is found dead. This is part two of Burning Sun.

There’s this fascinating little town called ‘Little Japan.’ It’s a gated community with cookie-cutter houses, though they boast beautiful chandeliers and heated floors, and all of them have a matching set of priceless portraits hanging on their walls. The residents are nine Japanese families, hence the name, and they have their own private chefs, maids, even chauffeurs in black Mercedes. A small movie theater, a massive sauna house, and a grocery store where they never have to pay. The catch? If they ever want to leave the community ‘gates,’ they must ask for permission from the Supreme Leader… The town itself is not even an hour outside of North Korea’s capital. The families themselves are neither Japanese nor North Korean royalty, nor are they diplomats or even government officials either. They’re a gang of hijackers. Hijackers who stole a plane and flew it into North Korea—and now the distinguished guests of the Kim regime were to become his secret weapon.

3 people are sitting at a table in a diner. Miriam, a middle aged woman sits stiffly, and across from her are two young men. One of them fiddles with a radio; a police scanner. He leans towards Miriam as if they’re sharing a secret across the table. “Your daughter smoke weed or something?” She gives him a look. Radio man continues, “I mean… she’s just so relaxed. Easy to deal with which is good. I like that. That’s why I want to let her go… for a price.” He tells Miriam that he will convince his boss to spare her daughter from a torturous death for $2k USD cash. Miriam suppresses a smile; she has to play along or else everything she’s planned will fall apart. Her daughter Karen had been kidnapped by one of the most dangerous cartels in all of Mexico and Miriam knew that nobody gets taken by that cartel and gets out alive. She also knew that she would not stop until she took every single member out for what they had done to her family. Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Somi doesn’t normally go through her husband’s things, but their house has been so cluttered, she’s going to lose her mind. From the back of their closet, she comes across old VHS tapes and a VHS player that she doesn’t recognize. Home movies, old memories? She pushes the tape in and presses play. The screen lights up. It’s a bed and two naked bodies. Her husband… and another girl laying next to him. There are words written all over both of their bodies in thick marker, words like ‘Prince’ and ‘King.’ Then Somi sees the blood. The girl has a long slice down her private area; she’s bleeding, trembling, completely terrified. The male—her husband’s voice—snaps at the girl, “Endure it even if it hurts.” Then he proceeds to SA her. Somi is frozen—but her mind is in overdrive—she can’t shake the feeling that she knows the girl—she can’t place a name but she recognizes the girl’s face. It was the same one on the missing posters in town. The girl in the video was the little, 8-year-old girl that had gone missing a year ago.

A man is laying face first, unconscious in his living room. Alyssa and Vanessa are standing over him. Alyssa reaches for the zip ties and binds his ankles together, three zip ties thick. Vanessa on the other hand is terrified. She’s screaming in her head to ‘STOP! This needs to stop! It’s taking things too far!’ But the words won’t come out; the only thing she can do is wait for a moment when Alyssa looks away—then Vanessa dives for the scissors. She cuts the zip ties off his ankles. “NO!” Alyssa forces Vanessa aside and reties his ankles and his wrists. Vanessa lost her chance. She can only watch helplessly as Alyssa yields a massive hunting knife and sends it plunging into the man’s neck. Then she begins sawing—back and forth. They watch the blood soak into the carpet. Police would later find the victim, Harold Sasko, and announce that his suspected killer was a 19 year old girl named Sarah. However this episode is NOT Harold’s story. Neither Alyssa’s, nor Vanessa’s. This is the case of Sarah McLinn, diagnosed with DID, and the many, many people who believe she should be free.

Standing in the middle of an orchard is a group of high schoolers and young 20 something year olds just huddled in a circle.  “What did kim say about the—? “HURRY just start pouring it!”  They kick their shovels aside, start pouring the concrete into the hole, and watch as it covers first the hand, then the torso, and now the face.  The face of the 15-year-old girl that they held captive for a month and tortured.  When they’re done, they head back to their cars with their shovels… And honestly? They think they did it; that they’re getting away with it. But don’t they know? History always repeats itself.  A very, very similar case took place 26 years ago in Japan: The case of Junko Furuta.  This episode is about a case that everyone in South Korea has been calling: The Korean Junko Furuta case.

“I’m going to use the restroom real quick.” Jia’s husband opens his eyes and looks at his phone. It’s 1AM. The two of them are on an overnight train heading home. He blinks before ripping his blanket off to escort his wife -  “No, it’s okay. I have my phone with me. Just stay here. I’ll be back quick.” She leaves for the restroom - careful to not wake up any of the other passengers in the sleeper carriage. She climbs down the bunk bed steps and balances through the aisle to the restroom.  BAM. Jia’s husband eye’s fly open and he checks the time. 1:30AM. It’s been thirty minutes and his wife is not back from the restroom. Strange…  He searches the entire carriage before alerting the train conductor…  “Please you have to help my wife is missing!” The train conductor smiles at him. “Don’t be ridiculous. Nobody goes missing on a moving train.” Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The to do list for the party mainly consists of purchasing groceries, cleaning the upstairs rooms, and airing out the pungent smell in the bathrooms.  17 year old Cassandra grabs the bottle of bleach and pours it out onto the bathroom floors. There. That should do.  Her boyfriend, Johnny, helps her glue the bathroom door shut. Sealing it with a caulk gun. There. Now nobody can get in and nobody can get out.  But more importantly - the smell won’t get downstairs and ruin the vibes.  “It’s a sewage issue.” That’s what they tell the party guests.  19 year old Johnny had used the restroom and because the sewer lines were blocked up he couldn’t flush. Excuse the smell.  They did not tell them that they were getting high right under 2 dead bodies that were decomposing upstairs.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The police office ran through the apartment complex - only stopping to investigate a suspicious looking Korean girl in a blue mustang.  “What unit?” “656” she said.  The exact unit he was called to for a potential home invasion and hostage situation.  “What’s your name?” “My name is Sunny Han.” He tried to memorize her face before running to the unit. They found in the apartment 2 college girls had been tied up by gunmen. They were trying to kill the girls.  As the officer is interviewing the two female victims he can’t help but shake the feeling of deja vu.  “Wait, I’m sorry what did you say your name was?” “Sunny. Sunny Han.” But that’s not possible. How can someone be two places at once?  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It was supposed to be a cute little road trip.  12-year-old Isabella, her best friend Asunta, and Isabella’s mom were in the car heading towards the beach.  Isabella’s mom tried to keep the spirits high for the girls -  “Okay, why don’t we all share a story! Get our creative juices flowing!” 12-year-old Asunta offers to start. Her voice suddenly shaky -  “There once was a girl who laid in her bed to sleep. She awoke to a man in a mask dragging her body off her bed, covering her mouth, and then choking her with his big strong hands. The girl could not breathe. She could not scream. She was going to die.” Isabella’s mom pulls the car over to the side of the road because Asunta is bawling her eyes out. “Sweetie, are you alright?” Asunta was not alright. This was a true story, and it happened to Asunta - a man broke into their home and tried to kill her.  But when Isabella’s mom talks to Asunta’s parents about it - she’s even more confused. Why are they not freaked out? Why didn’t they report this to the police? Who is this masked man, and is he still out there? Why would he want to kill Asunta? And did the man come back? Because 2 months later, Asunta would be murdered.  Soon - everyone in Asunta’s life would become a prime suspect. Including her wealthy adoptive parents.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Department of Justice makes a very public statement—it feels more like a threat.  “Please do not reproduce, share, or use this exhibit in any way. If you have downloaded this file, please delete it off your device.”  The DOJ had accidentally leaked a file they previously moved to seal from the public. Not one thing, nor one name was redacted.  The file in question - is the client list to one of the most high profile sex workers in all of Manhattan.  Her revenue in just a few years was in the millions of dollars - her hourly rate was $1500.  It’s safe to assume that this leaked, ’sealed’ file includes the names of NYC’s upper elite. High peorfile businessmen, millionaire-married couples, artists, restaurant tycoons, and lots and lots of rich married men.    Some of the names were recognized to be high level executives at Apple, other major retailers, one wealthy hedge fund manager, one international diamond dealer, and a former NY Supreme Court Judge.  But they hadn’t just been listed as clients for sex work.  They had all been named as alleged clients of a sex trafficking business run by a college cult.    10 years prior, a man had walked onto an elite private school campus to visit his daughter, a sophomore at the university. The man, her father, ends up staying on campus, living in his daughter’s dorm, and quickly begins the process of grooming and brainwashing all of his daughter’s friends.    The result was a decade long cult. Some of the friends turned cult members were ‘promoted’ to chauffeur or solder. Others into forced labor. His daughter’s friends would become his wives.’ And that left one, forced to turn to sex work. They all served one old, middle aged man.  This is the case of Lawrence Ray and his decade long cult of college students and sex.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He’s just going to stay in their dorms while he looks for a new place. What could possibly go wrong? When Larry Ray moves into Talia’s dorm - he slowly starts brainwashing all of Talia’s friends. Soon, he will be sleeping in Talia’s best friend’s room. Encouraging the students to all have intimate relations with each other… while he watches.  This would be the start of his decade-long college cult.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Oh Won is getting into his next at home project – everything is set up for success. He has a whole bottle of his favorite Chinese liquor. It’s stronger than Vodka, but he’s tossing it back like water.  His hand reaches for his phone as he feels the urge again. He’s on autopilot mode - staring at his screen, swiping, swiping… He presses play and puts his phone up against the bathroom sink. The woman’s moaning is just echoing off the bathroom wall… He lights a cigarette and squats down with his 8-inch knife. He starts moving the knife back and forth.  The key is that each cut has to be uniform; all the same thickness and size. It’s the most enjoyable for consumption that way… Before Oh Won knew it, six hours had passed. 365 pieces of meat, meticulously sliced into uniform, same-sized, thin pieces. He portioned them out and placed them into 17 separate black plastic bags. All that’s left are the bones and the parts that aren’t really important. He flips over the piece he was working on all morning. He stares at her face. He didn’t—couldn’t take any meat from there. Her face and hair were untouched, but below her neck, all of her flesh had been sliced off up until her knees.   He had deboned her.

The "3 Body Problem" was going to be Jeff Bezoz’s billion-dollar investment. The plan? Invest $1B into a new sci-fi series and watch the subscriptions to Amazon Prime Video flow in. All they have to do is buy the English adaptation rights off from the Chinese gaming giant – Yoozoo Gaming. They own the film and TV rights to the “3 Body Problem Universe.” The deal was close to being done – till CEO Lin Qi of Yoozoo walks into a conference room in LA. Dressed like a gangster. Puts his feet up on the table and suggests a co-production. He blew up the deal that Amazon had been working on for 8 months. Amazon was upset but as they were walking out of the meeting room… they noticed something. Nobody around CEO Lin looked happy either. They wouldn’t be surprised when they heard the news 2 years later. The billionaire CEO Lin was murdered by someone inside his company.

There’s a boring red brick building in the middle of Yale University’s campus. If you walk past it you might think it’s an administrative office. It looks - boring.  But if you look closely - there are 75 CCTV cameras pointed directly at the building. Covering every square inch of the exterior. Why would they need so much security for a university building? It is the Animal Research Laboratory. It houses over 4000 research mice and has tens of millions of dollars of research experiments being conducted inside the brick walls.  It is one of the most secure buildings on campus.  Till a brilliant Yale graduate student disappears inside.  She walks in.  Never walks out.  She is nowhere to be found in the building - or at least that’s what the authorities initially thought.  But have they checked the walls?

He once controlled the entire economy of the country—to put it simply. The man in the restaurant security footage is an ex minister of Kazakstan, the third most powerful person in the entire country.    His name is Kuandyk Bishimbaev and his wife, Sultanat Nukenova, were supposed to be on a dinner date; instead the security cameras capture something else.   Around 7 in the morning, the ex minister grabs his wife by a fistful of her hair and throws her onto the ground in the hallway.   Her jacket naturally flips open – and she’s naked, barely covered on the cold dirty floor of the restaurant. He’s standing over his wife’s limp body on the ground. The ex minister lifts his right leg up and starts kicking his wife as hard as he can. He’s holding onto a table to maintain his own balance.    That’s how much force is being used.   Then he drags her by the hair into a bathroom – where there are no CCTV cameras. Any footage of her after that has been erased.   But the ex-minister is seen many times after on the security footage. Spending time with other women – a lunch date with an influencer, texting an alleged sex worker, all while his wife lay dying in the VIP booth of the restaurant.    His excuse for why he couldn’t call for help or get his wife's battered body out of the restaurant? Well—because— Vladimir Putin is coming.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

That was it. He was going to kill her.  Sato, a bachelor, a young man who still lived with his mother terrorized her within the walls of her own home.

She was sure he would kill her.  At least that was the version she told the police. But when they came to her house and found a kidnapped girl in her son, Sato’s bedroom— They discovered the girl had been missing for nearly a decade.  She was nine years old when she had disappeared.  Still, the mother kept to her story.

He melted onto the street.  He was 6 years old when he was walking down the street in South Korea. Someone walks up to him and pours sulfuric acid down his throat and all over his face. His clothes were burnt black. The floor had bits of melted flesh.  Third degree burns over most of his body - the boy had a 5% chance of survival.  He was rushed to the hospital where he told the officers that the man - “Mr. Kim” who owned the fried chicken shop was running up behind him with the bag of acid. He was the one that did it!  “Nonsense, acid is liquid. You can’t put it in a plastic bag - it will burn through the plastic.” That was the police’s response. Had they investigated properly - they would have realized… the fried chicken shop owner was indeed, a little strange.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The first thing they feel is how stiff the table is underneath them… it feels so cold. Then, they open their eyes, and see a masked man staring straight at them holding a scalpel.  The first instinct is to scream. To run.  But that would be silly. They paid thousands of dollars for this surgery.  Suddenly, their eyes start feeling heavy again. The room looks blurry and they start to feel like something heavy is sitting on their chest.  The only comfort is knowing that they booked the best plastic surgeon in all of South Korea. It was a little strange that they had an opening for a surgery the same week… because wouldn’t his schedule be fully booked? If he’s that popular? And they could have sworn that he had 5 other surgeries scheduled for this very time slot… how could the doctor be in 5 operating rooms at once? But that’s why they’re called “ghost doctors.” You book a surgery with a top doctor, pay top dollar, only to have him walk out the room the second you are sedated. Then a strange man will come in and perform surgery.  The man that worked the front desk? The medical salesman? The custodian?  They can all be your doctor if they put on a white coat.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

 The summer sleep away camp for youths is held on the Island of UTOYA every single summer. About 500 teenagers will gather on the wooded island.

In the seat facing away from the camera, all they could see was the student’s back and her arms digging through whatever was in her lap. For several minutes, she stayed like this. Then she got up. Turned around. And looked straight into the lens of the CCTV camera in the corner.  She locked eyes and stayed like that. They felt a chill as they watched the footage. An icy stare. Frozen in place. Then she lifted up her hands and held a body up to the camera. A cat--a campus stray, lovingly named Princess by the other University students. She grabbed the back of the kitten’s neck. Then, with her other hand, wrapped her grip firmly around the kitten’s throat and squeezed.  Shanghai Tech’s very own serial cat killer.

Kenta's Tuesday morning routine was always the same — a 5 a.m. breakfast of rice, miso soup, and salted salmon, followed by his walk to work at Tomogaoka Middle School, where he greeted students at the blue gates every morning. But today was different. Kenta took the same route as always — turned the same corner — and dropped his briefcase onto the ground. His hand flew to his mouth. Maybe he let out a scream, maybe he didn’t – and it was all just in his head. Shaking, Kenta read the letter: "This is the beginning of a game You stupid police Try and stop me if you can Murder is something I cannot help but enjoy There's nothing I want to see MORE than people's deaths Let the foul vegetables be punished with death Let there be bloody judgment for my many years of bitterness." On the blue metal gates of the school — right next to the sign that read TOMOGAOKA MIDDLE SCHOOL — sprouting from one of the jagged metal picks of the fence -  The severed head of an 11-year-old.

All the police could do was watch the livestream - the camera was set up in a motel room. They could see in the video the girl was helplessly crying as she was assaulted by a man. One by one - more men showed up to the motel room to assault her.  They all stood in line in the order that they came - waiting for their turns. The victim would be found dead soon after. When news broke in the livestream chatrooms that she died - the comments started pouring in.  “Wait, did the motel girl really die? That’s so sad… we should go relieve ourselves on her funeral portrait. One last gift from us! “Dang, if she knew she was going to die, she should have given us her body one more time.” The police saw the video but they had no idea who these assaulters were, who orchestrated the attack, or how to even catch them.  All they knew was there were more victims. Hundreds of them. All victims of the Nth room. And they needed to save them before another dies.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eunhee was an A list actress and had always had star treatment but this was a whole new level. She had a guarded mansion and millions of dollars at her disposal. Every evening, platters of shrimp, lobster, sushi, delicacies shipped in from all over the world filled an entire banquet table. It was all just for her.

Gustavo stumbled out of the nightclub, barely keeping balance. He felt like he was hallucinating. He noticed people looking at him with very concerned looks – what? Did he have something on his face? He looked back up to a random man rushing towards him with a pail of water. He threw the water onto Gustavo’s arms. Everyone was acting so strange…   Then a woman yelled at him, “HEY! You need to call an ambulance!—There’s something wrong with your body!” Gustavo was taken aback but reassured the woman, “NO! Don’t worry. It’s just my shirt—I tore it on the way out of the club; that’s all…” He was sure of it. He could feel his shirt in that moment, shredded and hanging off his body. Every time he took a step forward or turned around to look at another stranger yelling at him, he could feel it swaying, hitting other parts of his torso.  The woman looked at him very concerned, “Sir. You’re not… wearing a shirt.”   Gustavo walked towards a streetlamp and looked down at his arms. His flesh was eviscerated, hanging only by his wrist.  His skin was melting off..  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“I can’t let you in…” The housekeeper was confused - what does the mom mean she can’t let me in? “Could you just toss the keys from your balcony?” The mother threw her keys from the balcony and vanished into the house. The housekeeper walked into the house and it was immediately chaos. The mother was hysterical - the father was banging his head on the wall. The mother threw her arms around the housekeeper. She cried and ushered her to a bedroom, “Come, come, inside and see what happened!” Lying in her bed was the family’s 13 year old daughter, dead. Her throat slit ear to ear. Her body looked posed and so were her stuffed animals, though they were eerily free of any blood or splatter. This case would become known as the JonBenét Ramsey case of India. Rumors of cheating, black mail, revenge, honor killings, truth serum, grooming and orgies consumed the media but the only thing we know for certain is - whoever her killer or killers are – they are free.

“Could you please help me? I need money for my baby.” Something strange was happening in the small city of Fuyang, China. There was an influx of families begging for help on the street. All of them said something was very wrong with their child. The baby had a mystery illness and needed help. When passerbys would bend down to take a closer look - they realized that the 5 month old infant had the head size of a “full size watermelon.” This was not a genetic condition nor was there an explanation. The truth would lead to over 20 arrests and 2 death penalty sentences. And the eerie feeling that - there must be something in the water there.

The surveillance footage that captured the limp body of a young boy getting dragged into a closet was surprisingly clear. “You’re pathetic, but I already knew that.” The person talking came into view and positioned the boy in front of the camera. His body was completely nude except for a sagging diaper. To be alive - seemed agonizing. The little boy’s breathing sounded like a fish out of water - they bent over and pinched the little boy’s lips together. “See? You don’t need to breathe through your mouth like that - dummy.” Those would be the last words he ever hears. The boy would die in that closet. After enduring endless torture- starvation, ice baths, and being forced to drink hot sauce. But who was behind the camera watching?

He woke up from the smell. His head was pounding as his eyes adjusted to the harsh bathroom light. Did he drink too much the night before? What is that smell? He reached his hand up to rub his eyes… it was covered in blood. He looked down - blood. All over his clothes, the tiles, everywhere. He slowly turned his head to the bathtub - and there floating in the water… were dismembered body parts. Along with a severed head with long black hair that was getting tangled… “I swear I woke up and there was just a body here.” The police would never fall for it. He had no choice but to put on a raincoat, mask, and eye goggles and get to work. Finish the job. But eventually, he would stop, right? This would be the 9th severed head in his collection.

Be like Barbie, Nina thought. She pushed her chest out and applied bubblegum lip gloss as she arrived at the seaside mansion for the first time. The last thing she wanted was to look like a child. But to Jeffrey Epstein, that was absolutely what he wanted. In fact, quite possibly the only thing he desired at all. What do rich men desire when they know they can buy almost everything in the world? They want what they can’t have. For Epstein that was young girls, illegally young girls, inexperienced young girls—his desires weren’t uncommon by any means either. Epstein was a multi millionaire rubbing shoulders with princes, socialites, tycoons, magnates, all over the world who had exactly the same desires. How far would the rich go to get something they couldn’t buy? Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Bickham was the coroner for the small town of Slaughter. For the past few decades, he had looked death in the face - that was what the job required, and he was good at it. Until January 3, 2022.  He was called out to the small white suburban house with the well manicured lawn - he could tell someone had died there judging by the smell. He walked into the living room and there in the center was a couch.  The living room was organized and tidy even, except this couch was at the center covered in feces. The smell was stinging his eyes. He walked closer, and he saw - melted, into the couch the body of a young woman.  She was unclothed, maggots in her hair, rotting flesh eaten off her bones, and she was sitting there with her eyes and mouth open. She had been sitting on this very couch, alive, for the past 12 years.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A young woman was rushed into the emergency room carrying a tiny 7-pound baby- she had blood all over her face, body, and feet. She had just given birth in the car coming home from Walmart. A normal delivery is already dangerous but to give birth in a moving vehicle, while driving, could pose a lot of health risks. It was all hands on deck in the emergency room. If the mother’s uterus was bleeding heavily - that could mean life or death for the mother. The nurse put her fingers on her stomach (as a trained nurse she could tell by pressing on the outside of one’s stomach if blood was dangerously flowing from the uterus). But she felt nothing. No blood flow. No uterus. The nurse froze. She turned to her colleagues in pure horror and stated - that’s not her baby. Then whose baby could it be? And whose blood is this woman covered in?

Lily’s instructions were clear. She was to wait at the bottom of the mountain in the dark till she saw the light. The flashlight would beam down the mountain, leading her to where she needed to go.
