Today's episode is about the island of Koh Tao, in Thailand, an island considered by many to be paradisiacal, but one with a dark side. This place, a destination for countless backpackers, often ends up being the last stop of their lives.

If you're here because of Hannah and David’s case, you already know what I’m talking about. But if you’re hearing about the island for the first time in this episode, I need to give you a quick summary.
 
Thailand is one of many countries in Asia that depends heavily on tourism, and losing visitors from around the world would devastate the local economy. But is the local police really capable of doing anything to keep tourism alive?
 
After those accused of the crimes against Hannah and David were convicted in 2015, an anonymous profile on YouTube posted a video about five other mysterious deaths that had occurred on the same island in the years leading up to that date. The video intrigued me so much that I began to research these cases and discovered even more, and that’s why I decided to make an extra episode for you.

Today, I will present more than ten suspicious deaths in recent years, all involving tourists. Practically all of them were concluded as accidents, natural causes, drowning, or the victim taking their own life. 

So, pay close attention to the cases I’m about to present, and be very careful if you ever choose Koh Tao Island as your holiday destination, because it could be your last.

The island of Koh Tao in Thailand is considered by many to be a paradise, but it is a paradise with a dark side. This place, a popular destination for tourists seeking beautiful beaches, drinks, parties, and music, has become a meeting point for people from different parts of the world. Unfortunately, many of them do not return home alive.

In today's case, I will present the story of Hanna Witheridge and David Miller, two British tourists who, in 2014, while in a secluded spot and believing they were alone, were sharing an intimate moment, when two immigrants approached them with a hoe, and committed an act of brutality that is difficult to describe.
 
This crime was neither the first nor the last, but it stands out among the many mysteries of the island. It was this case that brought to light a series of crimes committed against tourists, incidents that had been practically covered up by local police in an attempt to protect the island’s tourism industry.

Koh Tao, once remembered as one of the most paradisiacal islands in the world, is now regarded by many as the Island of Death.

A trauma in our lives is never something we wish for, let alone expect. And just as we cannot predict when or what will traumatise us, it is impossible to know for certain how our body and mind will react. If one trauma is bad enough, imagine two. If two are worse, imagine three and unfortunately, in today’s case, the traumas are almost countless. Many traumas may not leave visible marks, yet they can create deep emotional wounds, forcing us to carry them for the rest of our lives.
 
Daisy experienced far too much in her life. Two deaths of family members due to car accidents in different years, abuse suffered at the hands of a classmate at school, and the bullying she endured on the streets, at school, and on social media, for taking legal action against the most popular boy in school. She was then forced to remain silent so as not to jeopardise the trial. Her mother lost her job because of the controversy that “her daughter brought to the city,” the local police failed to offer proper support, and the suspect received a ridiculous sentence.
 
This is the story of Daisy Coleman. A girl who faced many highs and lows in her life, but the accumulation of all this pain became too much to bear. I hope this case makes us reflect on how much we can be responsible for someone else’s life, especially when what that person needs most is simply help.

Obsession is the poison of the mind. When we become obsessive about something, reasoning takes a backseat, and any logical attempt is left aside in favor of a voracious and insatiable desire to obtain something that is often unattainable.

One of the most common objects of obsession are celebrities, precisely because they have greater media exposure, their image is widely publicized around the world, and, consequently, they are difficult to reach physically. Some people end up creating a strong emotional bond with these public figures, but this bond can turn into an “idealization”, ich then evolves into passion or adoration, and finally into obsession.
 
Here on the channel, I have already covered two cases on this topic. One was that of singer Christina Grimmie, one of the finalists of The Voice United States, and another case that happened in Brazil, involving Ana Hickmann, a famous model and TV presenter. But today, we are going to analyze the case of a man's obsession with Icelandic singer Björk.

She, in turn, could not even imagine that on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, a Uruguayan man would become obsessed with her to the point of feeling betrayed and, out of revenge, devising a plan to kill her by sending a bomb through the post. The entire process of this plan, the bomb tests and the sordid thoughts of this man, who certainly needed help were recorded on tapes with hours of footage, full of unsettling and disturbing images. 

Today, you will learn about the case of the obsessed Ricardo López.

When we think about domestic violence, it is remarkable how far society has come in being able to speak more openly about such a painful subject. Today, there is much greater media coverage, organisations dedicated to supporting and protecting victims, and a stronger possibility of holding abusers criminally accountable. Although we are still far from what could be considered ideal, it is undeniable that we have made meaningful progress. But it wasn’t always this way.

In the 1990s, for instance, the freedom to discuss this topic was practically nonexistent. Countless women endured verbal and physical abuse, including sexual violence, with no safe way to ask for help. And it was within this bleak context that one particular case shocked not only the United States but the entire world.

Fed up with years of mistreatment and abuse, a young woman named Lorena took drastic action; she cut off her husband’s penis and threw it out onto the street. The case led to criminal trials for both, husband and wife, and the outcome of this story will undoubtedly leave many of you stunned.

Today, I will present the disturbing case, of Lorena and John Bobbitt.

On March 19, 2014, in Mexico, Anel Báez was found lifeless by her family, inside her bedroom, a scene that resembled a horror movie set. Police were immediately called, but no one knew who could be responsible. However, comments made by classmates on social media soon led investigators to suspect one person, her best friend from school, Erandy Gutiérrez.

Those of you who have been following the channel for some time, for some time know that I usually open with a mysterious summary of the cases, without exaggeration or sensationalism. However, this time, I find myself without the words to present lightly the bizarre cruelty of this crime, or the horrifying reason behind it.

Dylan was only 13 years old when he disappeared from his father’s house, just days before Thanksgiving. To make matters worse, the boy had already been avoiding visits to his father for months and travelled on this occasion solely because he was forced to do so under a court order, at his father's request.

When his body was eventually found, the autopsy revealed something beyond barbaric. He had suffered a violent blow to the head, so forceful that his skull fractured into three parts. And the motive for the crime? It stemmed from the discovery of an unspeakably vile secret. Something so revolting that even many seasoned adults would find it difficult to process, let alone a young teenager.
 
Today, we will delve into the case of Dylan Redwine.

What is the cost of our mistakes? What should we do to make amends, for something we have done wrong? Whenever we make a mistake, the natural course of action is to attempt to repair it, and if this is impossible, at least try to compensate for the act through our behaviour, or perhaps by offering favours to those harmed by our actions. These may seem like philosophical questions, but they are, in fact, dilemmas faced in many people's lives.
 
And such a dilemma was faced by Andrew Sadek, who was accused of a drugs offence and, in an effort to make amends and reduce the punishment he knew he would inevitably have to endure, agreed to assist the police by acting as an undercover informant. Tragically, this decision led to him becoming the fatal victim of a murder.

When we hear the word psychopath, the first image that usually comes to mind is of an adult, often male, who leads an apparently ordinary life, only to lure victims before killing them and hiding their bodies. People imagine individuals shaped by childhood trauma, who have turned pain into violence.
 
But what if I told you this is not always the case? Psychopaths can emerge from many places, including one we least expect: children and teenagers. It is not common for us to suspect the young, as it is difficult to imagine that they could be capable of such brutal, cruel acts. Yet it is not impossible. Some killers are awakened by trauma and adverse circumstances, while others are seemingly born with a natural propensity for violence.
 
Today, you will learn about the cruel murder of Tristyn Bailey, a school cheerleader, who was stabbed more than 100 times and abandoned in the forest by a 14-year-old boy.

One night in December 2021, Lily Sullivan went out to a nightclub with her friends in Wales, United Kingdom, but unfortunately, she didn’t return home. Her mother, Ana, was waiting for her at a petrol station close to the location as agreed, but the only person who passed by at the time Lily was supposed to arrive was an unknown man, who was walking hurriedly, out of step and with his hands on his head. Unfortunately, Ana had no idea that this man had just taken her daughter’s life.

Today's case happened in Serbia in 2014. The sense of security, so common in some European countries, was a major factor in the disappearance and subsequent crime, committed against a teenager of just fifteen years of age.

Tijana was walking back to her grandparents' house around midnight when, halfway there, something unexpected happened. The only traces she left behind on the asphalt of that street were a pair of trainers and a set of false nails.

The person responsible for the crime pretended that nothing had occurred, offered the most feeble excuses imaginable, and returned to work normally the following week as if nothing had happened.

Today, you shall learn about the case of Tijana Jurić.

Today, I’m going to tell you about Lynsey Quy, a young mother of two who mysteriously vanished from her own home. Shockingly, her disappearance wasn’t reported until nearly two months later. Eventually, she was found but in pieces, scattered across different parts of the city (if you catch my meaning). The person responsible for this horrific crime became infamously known as The Smiling Killer.

At the height of the 80s, two horrific crimes sent shockwaves through the small community of Tunbridge Wells, England.  The victims were Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, two women in their 20s who were brutally abused and murdered. For decades, their cases remained unsolved, until 33 years later, in 2020, a breakthrough finally unmasked the killer. But the discovery did more than just name the culprit, it exposed one of the biggest scandals in UK history, involving the Public Health System and hundreds of other horrific crimes.

So, get ready, because today's case is about the bizarre Bedsit Killer, or as he recently became known, The Morgue Monster.

A story that was initially meant to be one of overcoming adversity, entrepreneurship, and happiness, turned into a brutal and senseless crime in the United States. After waking up one morning in October 2019, just days before Halloween, Melissa Turner discovered the kitchen completely covered in blood and her fiancé, already lifeless, lying near the pool outside the house. Although she called 9 1 1 requesting assistance, when she was taken to the police station, she was unable to leave, as she was placed in pretrial detention after being named as the primary suspect in the crime.

In 1991, a girl was found deceased and, for years, remained under police guard as no one came to identify the body. The mystery persisted for more than two decades until by chance, and thanks to the police’s commitment to never leaving the case unsolved, the first consolidated clue emerged. A tireless search from person to person, within the branches of a single family, eventually brought forth the answer to the mystery of Baby Hope’s death.

In 2017, an experienced detective was found dead on a remote farm in Florida. Despite years of working as a police officer and private investigator, she couldn’t see the danger that lurked right beside her. The case had a huge impact on the country, mainly because all the suspects were people deeply close to her.

Her ex-husband, new girlfriend, coworkers and even some friends. For the police, everyone had at least a motive to commit such an atrocity, however, the case is even more shocking because it shows what people are capable of doing for money. Only one of these suited suspects carried out the crime and the police did a practically exemplary job in managing to identify the person responsible.

Today's case will talk about the mysterious murder of Taylor Wright.

We've all seen a movie or series that portrays the day-to-day life of an American High School. The hallways filled with cliques, the familiar characters shaped by stereotypes, the cocky jocks and heartthrobs of the sports team, the brainy science nerds, the misfits trying to find their place, and of course the rich, popular girls who seem to have it all.
 
Beautiful, self-confident, super popular, they rarely go unnoticed. They inspire admiration, attract attention and exert influence, making many girls want to be like them. However, sometimes they can also have a dark side. A certain sadistic pleasure or thirst for power that feeds on humiliation and manipulation. 

The story we’re about to tell takes that “mean girl” archetype to a chilling extreme, where pure malice hides behind the mask of friendship, and where loyalty is twisted into betrayal.

Today's case happened in December 2020, the disappearance of a young college student named Jason, which involves a range of mysteries that gained a lot of attention. The young man was involved in a car accident during the early hours of the morning and after that everything indicates that he left the vehicle, literally leaving a trail of clues with every step.

Lined up on the road were items of clothing: sandals, a shirt, shorts, socks, and even his underwear. It looked as if Jason had been walking away, undressing as he went, in near freezing temperatures. And then, he was gone.
 
Although the disappearance occurred in December 2020, it wasn’t until January 2022 that police released new evidence, along with theories that hit the family hard, suggesting conclusions they weren’t prepared to hear.

But, less than a year after her birth, Linda was found lifeless in her own bed and her stepdaughter, David's first daughter, confessed to the crime.

One morning in February 2017, Bob Arthur received the call no parent wants to get. His son, Shawn was found dead in his own apartment after consuming a significant amount of alcohol and drugs. However, something about the story didn’t sit right with the victim's family. On the one hand, they claimed that the case was a crime, on the other, the police ruled it an accidental overdose. Caught in this unsettling contradiction, the family hired a private investigator to uncover the truth.

Technology has undoubtedly become one of the greatest tools of our time. But in the wrong hands, it can also become a weapon, especially in the digital age where predators hide behind screens, often unnoticed. A simple smartphone, meant for communication and convenience, can turn into a trap when used with malicious intent.
 
Today's case is a reminder of how vulnerable young people are when using their smartphones. Often a simple exchange of messages hides dirty intentions and, most of the time, parents have no idea of the risks their children are exposed to.
 
This is the tragic story of Justin Bloxom, a bright 12 year old boy who was lured into a deadly trap through his own cell phone.

In July 2019, a 4 year old girl named Paislee vanished without a trace. On that particular day, court officials arrived at her home to remove her from the custody of her biological parents, who had their paternal rights taken away by the court. She was supposed to be placed with her new legal guardians. However, no one was there.
 
Paislee and her parents had disappeared, but days later the father reappeared claiming that his wife and daughter had run away, and that he had tried to find them with no success. A very poorly told story. Mother and daughter remained missing for years, until in 2022 they were found, in a place where no one could have imagined.
 
The discovery led to the arrest of three people, including Paislee’s own father and this raised a difficult question. Were they criminals, or just desperate parents who didn't want to lose custody of their daughter?
 
Today you will learn about the case of Paislee Shultis.

Throughout the last episodes of Serial Killers that have already been presented here on the channel, we can see that there is a Modus Operandi in all of them, (except Israel Keyes).
 
I've already brought some cases here on the channel such as Barbie & Ken, Jeffrey Dahmer, Cody Legebokoff, Alexander Pituskin, and the most recent BTK. In all these cases we discovered that there is a considerable amount of time between their actions.
 
However, in today's case, despite this Serial Killer having committed his first fatal crime in 2015, in 2016, he claimed practically one new victim per month and all of them inside a house that became known as The House of Horrors. April, June, August and September, there wasn't another one in September because the victim managed to escape and brought the gruesome activities of the  Serial Killer Shawn Grate to the authorities.

A Young American, Natalee Holloway had her whole life ahead of her, a promising career as a doctor and dreams waiting to unfold. However, she disappeared in 2005 without leaving a trace during a graduation trip to Aruba,  in the Caribbean. What promised to be a memorable outing with her colleagues turned into a mysterious police case.

Coincidence or not, the last place Natalee was seen, Carlos’n Charlies, was also linked to the 1998 disappearance of Amy Bradley, another American tourist who was invited to Aruba. Amy’s case, which I’ve covered here before, has led many to speculate about a possible connection between the two disappearances, particularly involving human trafficking.

Furthermore, she didn't know things she should have easily known the answer to. In fact, it became clear that someone was impersonating her online to cover up a heinous crime. This case, which took over a decade to resolve, finally saw justice in 2023 when the perpetrator was sentenced.

Having a good relationship with neighbors is fundamental to wellbeing. It may seem strange to some to wave or say hi, but small gestures can make a difference in social interactions. Unfortunately, not every neighborhood is made up of good neighbors.

Perhaps isolating yourself and not having contact with anyone may even be a good option, but when a neighbor takes pleasure in causing trouble, and disturbing the peace of the neighborhood, especially with the aim of recording and posting it all on social media for likes and followers, only the worst can happen.
 
This story is one of the most controversial cases I've ever shared on this channel, and I'm certain it will divide opinions. However, it serves as a perfect example of why we cannot take the law into our own hands.

It's quite common for criminals to try and confuse investigators during interrogations, hoping to escape justice. But what happens when a suspect tells the truth, and the police don't believe him? Because for them, following their convictions, that approach would be to get a confession and not start an investigation? The consequences of a failed act can cause irreversible damage, as was the case of Ryan Waller, who, during his interrogation, was considered a murder suspect while unknowingly having a bullet lodged in his head.
 
This case outraged the United States as, due to lack of proper medical care, Ryan suffered irreversible consequences such as loss of vision, cognitive failures and seizures for the rest of his life. Ryan’s case also involves a series of other events such as an internal investigation of actions carried out by the Phoenix police in Arizona, as well as generating a legal situation that culminated in the change of a state law, which was extended to several other states in the United States.
 
So, get ready, because in today's case, you will learn about the crime committed against Ryan Waller and his girlfriend Heather Quan.

Weatherford, Texas is a small town where neighbors wave at each other from across the street, where community ties run deep, and where the rhythms of daily life unfold peacefully amid a population of just over 33,000. A place where a few individuals stood out, known not only for their contributions to the city but for the way they motivated others.   It was also the scene of an unbelievable event that took place in 2009, where a family that was considered a model family and seen by many as the epitome of success and stability, carried out the most terrifying and saddest criminal event in the history of that place. Today you will learn about the sad end of the Kahler Family.

In August 2020, during one of the first relaxations in England’s lockdown, life was just starting to feel a little normal again. A young woman named Lorraine Cox had gone out for the evening with friends, catching up, sharing laughs, and enjoying a much-missed night of socializing. Around two in the morning, she left to head home, feeling safe as she walked through the quiet streets of Exeter, her hometown. But Lorraine wasn’t as alone as she thought. Security cameras captured her route, and as she walked for over a kilometer, a man followed at a careful distance. Oblivious to his presence, Lorraine walked on, unaware that these eerie camera images would be the last recorded moments of her life. Days later, Lorraine’s body would be discovered, disposed of like refuse. Today, you will learn about the harrowing case of Lorraine Cox.

Greece is often regarded as one of the cradles of contemporary Western civilization. The events of Antiquity, such as the formation of city states, the birth of Western philosophy, are some examples of the historical pillars that bring us to the Western world as we know it today.

Therefore, there is no way to measure the importance that Greece had for the world. However, despite having an extremely rich history, the country is still unfortunately known for its issues with sexism, and lenient legislation on physical abuse. These laws are finally being reviewed, spurred by the tragic case we are about to present today.

University life is an important part of people's lives, as it is the time when young people break away from their parents and begin to become independent. Many go to study in other states and even other countries, and, therefore, need to leave the safety and comfort of their homes in order to realize their dreams. However, in 2022 in Idaho, United States, 4 students had these dreams destroyed by a man, who on one fateful night and alone, killed all of them using a knife. 

This case had three phases: the investigation, the suspect, and the trial. During the investigations, which took place very quickly between November and December 2022, many twists and turns occurred, and during this period some information made available to the public was incorrect. However, the police did not correct any of the information, because since they had a suspect on their radar, for them, the more this suspect thought that the police were going down the wrong path, the better.

That is why I prepared this script in chronological order, so that you can follow step by step how everything happened, exactly as the public followed the discovery of all the facts.  

Today, you will learn everything about the Idaho Students Murder.

In the 1930s, a very peculiar case caught the attention of the residents of Colorado. Joe Arridy had been sentenced to death but because of his mental disability he could not understand or follow the court proceedings which had led to his conviction. As he could not understand the concept of death, the young man, at 23 years old, was considered by many to be the happiest man on death row.

This is a delicate case which invites close consideration of the treatment given to people with psychological disabilities by the criminal justice system. It is worth highlighting that, in this case, Joe was most probably innocent of the crime he was accused of.

Today's case explores a topic that is unfamiliar to us in the West and that is arranged marriage. An arranged marriage is one where the initiative to unite does not come from the bride and groom, but from their parents. Historically, it was common for kings to marry their sons to the daughters of neighboring nobles or even enemies to forge alliances between kingdoms. Although, many view arranged marriages as a relic of the past, it still persists to this day in some societies, particularly in India and it was there that in 2011 young Bimal and Shriya entered into such a union which eventually led to a court case.

October 31st is a date widely celebrated. Halloween. The celebration goes back millennia. Before today's case I want to quickly summarise the origins of this celebration.
 
More than two thousand years ago, October 31st was celebrated by the Celtic people (in Ireland) as the first day of the observance of Allhallowtide. All Saints Day (Nov 1st) was the beginning of the new year and many believed that on October 31st the dead connected with the living. This day came to be called Halloween, which actually means Day of the Dead. So people started dressing up as saints, singing songs in the streets and at family gatherings, while children knocked on doors asking for a soul cookie, which they believed would protect them from evil.
 
The religious beliefs related to Halloween eroded over the centuries but the customs and practices did not. Saints' clothes became relaxed costumes and children were given sweets, not soul cookies. The tradition continued and the playful and fun version became popular in the United States in the 20th century.
 
But in 1974, in the state of Texas, a crime tragically marked this celebration, causing the joy and fun of Halloween night to be seen with fear and caution. The case I am going to present now will talk about the poisoning of Timothy O’Bryan and the mysterious man who ruined this ancient celebration.
