The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He?s nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination.  The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD.  A man passes by him muttering -  ?Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?? Another citizen points and squeals -  ?He?s the one! He?s the one!? With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care.  This man just won $50.  How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn?t even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run? and yet.  There is a lookalike contest for the killer? Most Americans have been asking themselves this past week - who really is the true victim here? Is it the one that was shot and killed? Or is it the shooter himself? Or is it all of us?

?To Catch A Predator? steps: Hire an adult decoy to lurk on websites advertising themselves as 13 year olds looking for a middle aged companion.  Invite the adult predator to a house that has been wired for audio and video recording.  Have the host of the famous TV show pop out to ask the predator questions and arrest them on the way out.  That is the premise to the show ?To Catch A Predator? that has now been cancelled for its moral dilemmas.  But now influencers are recreating the show themselves on their platforms. Luring in predators, confronting them, and then calling the police.  That?s what 17 year old Gavon tells the cops was his plan? He met up with a middle aged man on Grindr for the purpose of robbing him because he deserves it. Why else would he talk to a minor? But for the police to believe his side of the story they have to go through his phone? and that?s where they find a folder titled - ?Dark.?  The password? ?Murder.?  Suddenly a simple robbery case turns into a murder investigation because in it? are videos and photos of 17 year old Gavon Ramsay killing and SAing a 98 year old woman in her own home. Gavon Ramsay is the predator.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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? Did this man actually drown?  Or did he fake his death, abandon his wife and kids, to be with a new woman?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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??

Earlier this month, an audio clip went viral on the internet. In the clip you can hear a man?s voice aggressively screaming - ?SHUT UP SHUT UP! You stupid b*tch, didn?t I tell you not to this??? You can hear a woman crying, begging for him to stop. Begging him to stop and spare her life. That woman is TzuYang. She is the biggest YouTuber in South Korea with over 10 million subscribers. And she had essentially been held hostage for the last 4 years of her life and forced to film eating (Mukbang) videos.

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. This is the case of the Galvin family.

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 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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? Send one of the most famous singers an acid bomb. Because if she?s ugly. Nobody will want her anymore. She will come crawling to him - her biggest fan.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

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.

A church in South Carolina has gone viral recently--even making national headlines. A young pastor by the name of JP is caught on a recorded sermon saying: ?One day I?m going to preach about getting rich, strong, healthy, and finding a hot wife that loves Jesus!?  The congregation laughs awkwardly because on his left hand ring finger is a wedding band?he?s already married?but he won?t be for much longer.  Just a few weeks later, Pastor JP?s wife?14 years younger than him?is found face down, submerged in a marsh, an entire state away.  Just four days after that, the media reports that Pastor JP was drinking at a bar with a woman thought to be his mistress.  This is the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of Mica Francis Miller.  Mica Francis Miller?s Go Fund Me link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justiceformica Official Justice For Mica website link: https://justiceformica.com/home Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

Orchards are not fun at 3am. The rustling of the leaves feels no longer feels like a nice sunny, breezy day, it sounds like someone is hiding behind a tree somewhere watching you. 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.?

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 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
