Heinous – An Asian True Crime Podcast

In August 1975, Typhoon Nina unleashed relentless rain across central China. Then, the unthinkable happened.

The Banqiao Dam gave way.

A massive wall of water tore through the communities below, sweeping away homes, villages and lives. But Banqiao was only the beginning. As dams downstream began to fail, the disaster spiralled into one of the deadliest flood catastrophes in modern history.

Yet years before the catastrophe, concerns had already been raised about the region's dams and their ability to safely handle extreme flooding. Warnings were issued, recommendations were made, but not all were acted upon.

So when the rain began to fall, was Banqiao simply overwhelmed by an extraordinary natural disaster? Or had decisions made years earlier left the region dangerously vulnerable?

This is the story of the Banqiao Dam disaster — and the flood that swallowed a region.

In October 2006, a 28-year-old Mongolian woman vanished without a trace in Malaysia. It took weeks and persistent questioning before investigators would make a horrifying discovery in a secluded forest; fragments of her remains, scattered after her body had apparently been blown apart with explosives.

Her name was Altantuya Shaariibuu, and her murder would unravel a scandal that reached the highest levels of Malaysian politics.

As investigators dug deeper, two elite police commandos were implicated in her killing, while connections to powerful political figures raised troubling questions about who might have wanted her dead.

But nearly two decades later, despite convictions and years of courtroom battles, one question continues to haunt the case: Who really wanted Altantuya silenced, and why?

Part 1: We trace the shocking events as it happened, following Altantuya as she landed in Malaysia, and how she came to meet her tragic demise.

Part 2: We follow the fallout from the court hearings and the controversy that soon followed, detailing the lengthy court battle that still failed to answer the most important question: why?

It's a quiet morning in the Wisconsin woods in November 2004.  A group of hunters head out for what should have been an ordinary day during deer season. But before noon, a confrontation over a hunting stand would leave six people dead and two others critically wounded.

At the centre of it all was Chai Soua Vang, an Hmong immigrant and experienced hunter who claimed that what happened in those woods was a matter of survival. And yet, those who did survive told a very different story.

What began as an argument between strangers soon became one of Wisconsin’s most notorious hunting tragedies, and a case that raised difficult questions about race, fear, prejudice, and what really happened in the moments before the first shot was fired.

Part 1: We follow the events on that fateful day, uncovering the tragedy that took place, and the controversy it would soon bring forth upon the Hmong community.

Part 2: We follow the fallout as Vang goes to trial for the murders, bringing forth insight from others within the Hmong community, as well as repercussions that they would face later on.

On April 13, 2017, a rumor moved faster than the truth ever could. Mashal Khan, a 23-year-old journalism student at a university in northern Pakistan, had spent months asking the questions no one wanted answered; about tuition hikes, about a vice-chancellor who was rarely seen on campus, about where the money was going. He wrote about it. He talked about it. And on a campus already uneasy with his outspoken, secular worldview, that was enough to make him a target.

Within hours, a rumor of blasphemy, later proven entirely baseless by a government investigation, turned into a mob of his own classmates and university staff. What happened next was a tragedy recorded on dozens of phones and watched by the entire country.

Part 1: We look into the murder of Mashal Khan and the immediate aftermath on campus, as well as his family's effort to bring justice, and to protect themselves from further harm.

Part 2: We follow the controversy following the initial sentencing, and uncover the systems and corruptions that allowed a group of students and university staff to lynch a student based on the country's blasphemy laws.

It's just after 7am at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a dormitory residence at the campus of Virginia Tech in the United States. A resident advisor hears strange noises in the room next to his and goes to investigate. Shortly after, police arrive on the scene, and two students are found dead in the same room that the RA went to. They proceed with their investigation and close off the dorms. They thought it was a domestic incident. They thought it was isolated. They thought it was contained.

They couldn't have been more wrong.

Over the next two hours, classes begin as scheduled. An email goes out to faculty mentioning the two students found earlier that morning, advising caution. There wasn't a lockdown. There wasn't a campus-wide alert. 

And by the time those two hours were over, it would be too late for thirty more people.

In September of 2014, the bodies of two young British tourists, Hannah Witheridge and David Miller, were discovered on the shores of Sairee Beach in Koh Tao, Thailand. At that point, Koh Tao was mostly known to the outside world as a destination island for divers, with plenty of dive schools and bars lining the beachfront. This incident however, threatened to tarnish the island's reputation, and so officials were scrambling to ensure the safety of the tourists on the island, as well as to catch the culprit responsible for the heinous crime.

But this is where the investigation turns tricky. There was no CCTV footage near the crime scene; and most of Koh Tao's residents were illegal immigrants with no proper documentation. And yet, in a few weeks following the discovery of the murders, the police were proud to announce that the culprits had been caught, and that they had confessed. 

The only issue though, was that no one in the country believed them.

Part 1: We look into the island's socio-political background, so as to better understand the complicated nature of investigations inherent in this case.

Part 2: We follow the fallout and controversy following the alleged killers' withdrawal of their initial confessions; and the legal system that fought to keep them guilty.

“Don’t worry, we will send your sons back soon. We are taking them for a meeting.”

On the afternoon of September 1, 2017, ten hungry Rohingya men and boys walked out of the smoke-filled hills onto a beach in the fishing village of Inn Din, Myanmar. They hadn't eaten in five days, and the sea was the only place left to look. But instead of food, they found soldiers.

What followed was a chillingly orchestrated deception. The captive men were photographed kneeling, given clean clothes, and fed a final meal of beef to ease the worries of the families waiting outside. 

But in reality, there was no meeting at all. By the next morning, they were led to scrubland at the north end of the village where a single, freshly dug mass grave was already waiting, and they were never seen alive again.

In 1999, Jessica Lall was shot twice at a crowded party in Delhi, in front of dozens of witnesses, at point-blank range, over the simple fact that the bar was closed and she wouldn't serve him anymore drinks.

On its surface, this should have been one of the most straightforward murder cases in Indian legal history. But what transpired would bewilder and enrage an entire nation; because the man accused of pulling the trigger somehow managed to leave the court a free man.

What should have been straightforward justice was instead dragged out over the course of seven long years, all unravelling in a tangled mess involving nearly 300 witnesses, conflicting testimonies, and missing evidence. And how a city that watched the murder happen refused to let the acquittal be the end of the story.

This is the case of Jessica Lall — and the verdict that wouldn't stick.

Part 1: We explore into the events of the fateful night where Jessica Lall was shot, and the initial confusion that led to her shooter's acquittal.

Part 2: We follow the public outcry from the court's decision, which culminated in public campaigns and rallies, and the resulting outcome of this miscarriage of justice.

The officer who arrested him warned everyone that there would be more victims, but no one bothered to listen. In 2005, Somkid Pumpuang was taken in as the main suspect behind 5 murders. But when faced with the charges, he did not resist, and even outright confessed to the crimes, which led him to receive a life sentence instead of death.

However, what happened inside prison would be even more remarkable. Somkid became a model prisoner, so much so that his conduct earned him promotions up the prisoner classes, which resulted in his sentence being shrank 4 times. At the end, he had reduced his sentence so much that he was even able to leave a free man after 14 years. A 14 year sentence for a man who was charged with murdering 5 women. 

But just as a leopard never changes its spots, a brutal criminal doesn't magically become a saint, not even after spending 14 years in jail. And it would only take 7 months for his original arresting officer to be proven right.

In October 2016, a South Korean businessman named Jee Ick-Joo was forcefully taken from his home in Angeles City, only for him to never be seen again. From the outside, this seemed like a brutal case of kidnapping, or maybe even a targeted attack from business rivals. 

But what made this murder more chilling wasn't how Jee was abducted or killed, but the fact that it took place within Camp Crame; the National Police Headquarters of the Philippines. Because this was the bloody era of President Duterte's anti-drug campaign, and once they have you on their list, you may never come home again.

Part 1: We explore circumstances surrounding the Philippines in the Duterte era, and why anti-drug officers specifically targeted Jee Ick-Joo.

Part 2: We follow the public fallout once the case was made public, and navigate the tricky legal battle to bring justice to an innocent man who was abducted and murdered by the police.

Beneath the noise of Jakarta's terminals and back alleys, a street vendor named Baekuni built a reputation for kindness; offering food, shelter, and quiet protection to the city's most invisible children. And for nearly seventeen years, that reputation served as the perfect disguise... until his true horrors were brought to the surface.

The country was shocked when the mutilated remains of a young boy was discovered in 2010, leading investigators to uncover a disturbing pattern of exploitation and violence that had gone on for far too long. 

Part 1: We explore the conditions that allowed Baekuni "Babe" to develop into the monster that he would eventually become, and how he managed to remain undetected through nearly 2 decades.

Part 2: We follow investigators as they pick up on the discovery of the young boy's mutilated body parts, and witness Indonesia reckon with the fact that they allowed such a monster to roam their streets for so long.

It was already morning when neighbors in Bắc Giang province noticed something wrong. The shutters to the local family owned gold shop hadn't gone up. No one had seen the owner make his usual rounds. And when someone finally forced their way in, they found a scene that would haunt the nation for years: a husband, a wife, and even their infant daughter, all slaughtered.

And in another room, an eight-year-old girl, barely breathing, her arm severed at the joint. She was the only witness. She was also, somehow, still alive.

Part 1: We take you through the horrific events of the Ngọc Bích gold shop slaughter as it unfolded, and profile the monster behind the brutal crime.

Part 2: We follow along with officers as they trace down the murderer, Lê Văn Luyện. Along the way, we'll also discover the complications that arguably prevented commensurate justice from being served in this case.

When Japan surrendered on the 15th of August, 1945, the world called an end to its most brutal chapter in history. Flags were lowered. Peace treaties were signed. Everyone just wanted to move on.

But nobody told the comfort women.

For years during the war, while men braved the frontlines, hundreds of thousands of women were abducted from their homes and their villages; enslaved into camps and forced to satisfy the needs of passing soldiers. Many died of disease and malnutrition, while others were killed for trying to escape. And what made it even more chilling was how bureaucratic it all was, from the kidnapping and the enslavement, to even accounting for the fees collected for each sexual encounter. And yet when the war ended, the soldiers simply left, and the women, those who actually managed to survive the atrocities, were left to deal with their trauma on their own.

In this episode, we trace the architecture of the comfort women system: who constructed it, who enforced it, and who was paid to look the other way. And we hear from the women who waited sixty years to say out loud what everyone already knew.

The world tried to forget about them and move on. 

So they had no choice but to make the world remember.

It was 4:25pm on a Wednesday afternoon in Taipei. Commuters, students, strangers were on board a train on the Bannan line heading west to Jiangzicui from Longshan Temple; the longest gap between any two stations on the entire Taipei Metro network.

To anyone else, this detail wouldn't mean much, but Cheng Chieh had pondered over this for years. Later, he even revealed to investigators that he chose that specific stretch precisely because he knew it would give him more time.

And twenty seconds after leaving the Longshan Temple station, he pulled out a knife.

Passengers flooded out of the carriage when the train finally pulled into Jiangzicui, screaming for people on the platform to run. Four people were dead. Twenty-four were injured. It was the first fatal attack on the Taipei Metro since the day it opened.

Cheng Chieh was only twenty-one years old. And he had been planning this attach since childhood.

Part 1: We examine Cheng Chieh's troubled background and the conditions that led him to the attack in May of 2014.

Part 2: We dig into the fallout following Cheng Chieh's horrific metro attack, as well as the shocking revelations uncovered during his murder trial.

On the morning of November 23, 2009, a convoy of vehicles wound through the highways of Maguindanao province in the southern Philippines. Inside were lawyers, political supporters, journalists, and the wife and family members of a man who simply wanted to run for governor.

They had no reason to believe they wouldn't make it home by nightfall. But they never did.

Armed men blocked the convoy on the highway, and herded the group to a nearby hilltop where several open graves had been dug up. Then, without warning, they opened fire.

When it was over, 58 people were dead. Among them: 32 journalists and media workers, two lawyers, and six motorists who had simply been travelling the same road. It would become the single deadliest attack against journalists ever recorded, and one of the most brazen acts of political violence in modern history. Behind it all stood the Ampatuans a powerful clan whose private army had long operated in the shadows of state power, linked to killings, torture, abductions, and a culture of fear that had gone unchallenged for decades.

This is a story about what happens when impunity becomes a way of life. About power so entrenched it believed itself untouchable. And about the long, gruelling decade-long fight to make it answer for what it did on a hillside in Maguindanao.

On the surface, Nancy Kissel had the life people dreamed about. A luxury apartment in a posh Hong Kong neighbourhood. A high-flying husband who works in banking. Three beautiful kids. A postcard existence, by any measure.

So why, on the night of November 2nd, did she hand her husband a strawberry milkshake laced with enough sedatives to drop a man twice his size? And why, hours later, was Robert Kissel found dead and wrapped in a carpet and locked in a storage room?

The answer isn't simple. It never is. Because behind every perfect life, there are things that don't make it into the postcard. Affairs. Secrets. Years of something quietly rotting underneath, until it surfaces in the most heinous way imaginable.

Part 1 - We trace the roots of Robert and Nancy's marriage. Detailing how they first met, and where the tensions started to build up before culminating in Robert's brutal murder.

Part 2 - We follow the sensationalized trial of Nancy Kissel and the media furor that surrounded it. Will justice be served? Or will Nancy get away with it all?

So why, on the night of November 2nd, did she hand her husband a strawberry milkshake laced with enough sedatives to drop a man twice his size? And why, hours later, was Robert Kissel found dead and wrapped in a carpet and locked in a storage room?

The answer isn't simple. It never is. Because behind every perfect life, there are things that don't make it into the postcard. Affairs. Secrets. Years of something quietly rotting underneath, until it surfaces in the most heinous way imaginable.

Part 1 - We trace the roots of Robert and Nancy's marriage. Detailing how they first met, and where the tensions started to build up before culminating in Robert's brutal murder.

Part 2 - We follow the sensationalized trial of Nancy Kissel and the media furor that surrounded it. Will justice be served? Or will Nancy get away with it all?

It was February of 1942. Singapore has just fallen to the Japanese. 

But for its residents, the surrender wasn't the end of the terror, it was the beginning of something far worse. Within days, the Japanese Imperial Army rounded men up at screening centres set up across the island. Some were released, while others were loaded onto trucks. The trucks drove to Changi Beach, to Punggol, to Sentosa. And they never returned.

This is the story of the horrific period in Singapore's past known as Sook Ching; who gave the order, who carried it out, and why the full truth has never quite been allowed to surface.

It's a Sunday morning in July 2019 on a quiet street in Markham, Ontario. The kind of neighbourhood where nothing ever happens.

Somewhere across the world, in an online gaming community, messages are coming in. Photographs. A confession. Players are staring at their screens, unsure if what they're reading is real, or just another disturbing joke from the guy they know as an online troll.

But unfortunately, this wouldn't end up being just another joke. Because shortly after, four people would end up dead. A grandmother. A mother. A father. A sister. And the man who killed them is still inside the same house where he murdered them all.

Menhaz Zaman had spent years building a lie; a carefully constructed fiction about university degrees, engineering careers, and a future that never existed. And when that lie was finally about to unravel, he made a choice that no one who knew him saw coming.

Part 1 - We look into the background of the Zaman family, as well as the how the brutal family murders were carried out by Menhaz.

Part 2 - We dig into the chilling evidence uncovered by investigators as they try to make sense of this senseless crime. Online messages, warning posts, gruesome images, all signs indicating that trouble had been brewing for a lot longer than anyone had expected.

From an early age, Lam Kor Wan had endured a tumultuous upbringing. Moving homes across countries, changing schools, receiving physical and verbal punishment from his father, and even committing acts of voyeurism and molestation. 

All this, however, would pale in comparison to his most heinous acts; as he roamed the streets of Hong Kong as a taxi driver looking for his victims, thereafter cementing himself as one of the country's most notorious serial killers.

On the morning of 16 June, 2005, a cleaner was making his usual rounds along the banks of the Kallang River in Singapore when he spotted something odd in the water.

In March of 2002, a seventeen year old girl bursts into a police station in Kitakyushu, Japan, to make a startling report. She tells the authorities about a man, an apartment, and about the people who were brought inside but never made it out alive. She tells them that the dead were dismembered and boiled and disposed of so thoroughly that nothing remained. She tells them that the man who orchestrated all of it did not do the killing himself but coerced others do it. 

She tells them she is the only one left who can say any of this, because everyone else is dead.

In the spring of 2016, the calm waters of Central Vietnam’s Hatin Province transformed into a scene of ecological devastation, with thousands of fish washing ashore belly-up. But what first appeared to be a seasonal fluke quickly escalated into a national crisis as the toxic tide spread across four provinces, poisoning the food chain and even claiming the lives of seasoned divers.

Investigations would uncover severe lapses in safety protocols at a massive steel plant in the area, enabling lethal doses of chemicals to be dumped directly into the sea. But placing accountability proves to be difficult, as the issue is mired behind politics and industrial interests; ultimately resulting in an environmental crisis that may take decades to fully recover.

It was the evening of 2nd December 1984. Residents of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, were sound asleep when they were rudely awoken by an invisible threat. Many stumbled out of bed clutching their throats and rubbing their eyes, the neighbourhood was filled with the sound of coughing and screaming, mothers rushed outside clutching their children only to collapse after a few steps. Over time, this would be remembered by thousands as one of the worst industrial disasters in history; but the worst part is, that the culprits were never held fully accountable for over 40 years.

Between 1988 and 2002, the quiet city of Baiyin, Gansu, lived in fear. Over a dozen women were found brutally murdered — their bodies mutilated in ways that shocked even seasoned investigators. But what's even more terrifying and mystifying, is that the killer seemed to vanish after each attack, leaving only whispers in the wind.

Part 1 - We explore the background of the Baiyin Butcher, Gao Chengyong, and how he managed to terrorize various parts of China.

Part 2 - We follow investigators as they finally piece together the puzzle, and put a stop to one of the most brutal criminals that China had ever seen.

It all unraveled from a seemingly minor altercation in November 2018. Kim Sang-Kyo noticed a woman struggling and tried to help, only to be forcefully removed by security and beaten outside Seoul's infamous nightclub, Burning Sun. But when Kim tried to report the incident to police, he was repeatedly stonewalled and ignored, pushing him to seek the support of netizens and the media.

This would ultimately lead to a turning point in January 2019, when an investigative television series picked up his story, and exposed the festering rot within.

In 1985, what seemed on the surface to be a routine call for petty theft soon escalated into something unimaginable. Authorities arrived on the scene and began questioning the suspect, only to find that his face didn't match the picture on the ID provided, the car's registration showed that it belonged to someone else, and more disturbingly, the suspect had a pistol with an illegal silencer in the trunk of his car. Things would only get more confusing as the suspected admitted to living under false names, and mentioned several others as well. But before the police could pry any deeper, he had swallowed a cyanide pill and died in the hospital days later.

Part 1 - We trace the background of the suspect, revealed as Leonard Lake, as well as that of his mysterious partner, Charles Ng.

Part 2 - We pick up from the heinous crimes that the duo have embarked upon within their bunker, and the disturbing details that would be uncovered from its depths.

In May of 2017, a dismembered body was discovered buried in a shallow grave in the north-east Thai province of Khon Kaen. While investigators were able to quickly point out 3 key suspects, they weren't ready for the chaos that was about to unfold. Photos released by the police of the suspects lit social media platforms ablaze. But instead of talking about the victim or the injustices done, most were talking about how attractive the suspects were, or some of the accessories they were wearing - to the point that vendors were selling keychains and bags similar to the ones the suspects carried.

In May of 1996, Victor Li - son of Hong Kong business tycoon Li Ka-Shing - was on his way home when several armed men suddenly appeared on the road ahead. Within moments, they fired into Victor's car, shattering the windows and forcing a stop, before pulling him and his driver out into the night. It was one of the most brazen acts of kidnapping ever seen, made all the more heinous by the fact that the kidnapper, Cheung Tze Keung, was only just beginning.

Part 1 - We look into the background of "Big Spender" Cheung Tze Keung, and trace his journey from gangster to billionaire kidnapper.

Part 2 - We follow Cheung as he sets his sights on his next big heist - property billionaire Walter Kwok - further cementing himself in infamy.

While many would like to regard Christmas as a day of family gatherings and celebration, the same cannot be said for a certain segment of Hong Kong. Because on that fateful day nearly 80 years ago in 1941, entire neighbourhoods would be reduced to rubble, civilians would be trapped in burning buildings, and soliders would be slaughtered in tight alleyways; marking 25 December 1941 as Black Christmas, a day that Hong Kong desperately wants to forget.

It was a quiet Saturday morning in July of 2009 when the residents of North Epping in Sydney, Australia woke up to start their weekend. However, the illusion peace soon started to waver as they noticed that the local newsagency was still closed way past 9am, something that had never happened before. Further calls and house visits by concerned neighbours also yielded no reply, which was when relatives and in-laws Kathy and Robert Xie decided to pay a visit, only to uncover a truly brutal scene. 

Part 1 - We follow the scene as it unfolded on that quiet Saturday morning in July of 2009, laying out the horrific findings made by the Xies and the police.

Part 2 - We dig into the investigation by the police surrounding the Lin Family Murders, as well as their complicated relationship with the Xies.

In December of 1970, Pakistan held its first ever democratic elections, paving way for a historic result as the East Pakistan-based Awami League, headed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won a national majority in parliament.

But what was also historic about this moment, was the fact that it lighted the fuse for one of the worst events in recent human memory. Just three months later in March of 1971, Pakistan military would begin Operation Searchlight, raiding upon the East Pakistan capital on Dhaka, and slaughtering thousands of students, teachers, politicians, and opposing military all in one night.

In November of 1996, authorities at the local Irvine, California police station receive a call about a robbery currently taking place. Within minutes, police rush down to the apartment block where the call originated from, but one of the officers spot a blue mustang loitering just outside. On a hunch, this officer approaches the mustang, and a woman rolls down her window to greet the officer calmly, stating that she was Sunny Han. A few moments later, he is called to backup the unit investigating the scene, where he is met with utter confusion. Inside the apartment, he finds a young woman tied up and bruised, looking identical to the lady in the mustang outside. She too, says her name is Sunny Han. 

Part 1 - We dig into the root of the puzzle behind the identical Sunny Hans, as well as the grim circumstances that led them to this point.

Part 2 - We look further into the motives that were left unsaid, and the verdict that would further split an already broken family apart.

It was a quiet Monday morning in May of 1967 when a garbage collector would stumble upon something that would shock the Philippines. Amidst a pile of trash, rotten food, and broken furniture, were a pair of human legs severed just above the knees. Cleanly cut, pale, and cold to the touch. What was even more shocking was that there had been a similar discovery just days before. 

Part 1 - We follow the investigation as trace the mystery behind the severed limbs, linking them to the enigmatic figure of Lucila Lalu, and the precarious web of connections that she spun.

Part 2 - We hone in on several key suspects in the case, and look into the possible scenarios as to what could have happened to Lucila Lalu.

On the 15th of July, 2009, 30 year old former journalist Teoh Beng Hock walked into the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s Selangor headquarters in Shah Alam, Malaysia. He was there on investigation for suspected misuse of public funds, and was called in as a witness. However, things would take a turn when he didn't return home later that evening, and in fact, CCTV cameras showed that he never left the building. Instead, he would be discovered the next afternoon nine floors below the MACC's office, sprawled on the fifth floor balcony, in a pool of his own blood.

Part 1 - We dig into Teoh Beng Hock's profile, his political involvements, and why he was called in to the MACC headquarters on that fateful day.

Part 2 - We look into the curious statements put out by the MACC themselves regarding the incident, and the blowback that ensued from the tragic incident.

In the summer of 2005, school teacher Jung Yu-Jin had just come back home from a long at work when he received a disturbing phone call. On the other end of the line was a plea from a desperate mother, calling to report that one of her daughter's friends had been assaulted at school, the very same one that Jung worked at - The Gwangju Inhwa for hearing-impaired students. Enraged, Jung spends the next few days reaching out to his colleagues and superiors at the school, only to be stone-walled at every turn. But what he didn't know, was that behind the silence, he was on the verge of uncovering something far more sinister.

In late January 2020, 33 year old Le Quoc Tuan works his way through a maze of shophouses to partake in some alleyway gambling, specifically the popular local game of xóc đĩa, loosely translated as “shake the plate”. Despite a winning start, Tuan would start to go on a series of losses, eventually wiping him out.

Part 1 - We delve into the events of the day as it unfolds, from the moment Le Quoc Tuan starts gambling, to when he shows up with a rifle.

Part 2 - We explore the bloody aftermath of Le Quoc Tuan's onslaught, as well as the manhunt that ensued to capture the vicious gunman.

Everything seemed to be going well for Akira Nishiguchi. While he was previously a recurring criminal who had been in and out of prison for roughly 10 years, he had picked up a job as a delivery driver, and had even saved his marriage.
