If you ever feel the urge to occupy yourself entirely with learning about the directionality of stroller wheels, is it an all-wheel-drive baby stroller? There’s dense literature on Reddit parenting forums. You’ll come out more educated on strollers, and equally confused about which one to buy. But that’s surface-level content. It gets much deeper. You might stumble on posts asking whether it’s normal to hear cries that aren’t really there in the middle of the night: phantom cries. They used to call it “insanity of lactation.” Now it’s postpartum psychosis, a rare, severe condition distinct from postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is more common, affecting about one in eight people who give birth. Postpartum psychosis affects roughly one to two per 1,000 births. Depression can mean persistent sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion. Psychosis can involve hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized behavior, and it can be intermittent, hidden behind long lucid periods. That distinction has become central to the question surrounding Lindsay Clancy: did she have postpartum psychosis, or didn’t she? Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

A jury room is supposed to be where a case finally comes together. Instead, it can become a pressure cooker: strangers locked in a cramped space, arguing over evidence, sending desperate notes to the judge, and trying to reach a decision that could change someone’s life forever. That pressure is at the center of the Lindsay Clancy trial. After hearing the evidence, the jury reportedly remained deadlocked 11–1, leading to a mistrial and leaving the public with more questions than answers. What evidence divided the room so completely? What made one juror refuse to budge? And what happens if the case goes to trial again? But the conversation did not stay inside the courthouse. Online, the case has sparked an entirely separate investigation: arguments over guilt vs. insanity, scrutiny of the people involved, theories about Patrick, discussion of the viral Bratz doll video, and crowdsourced searches through records, family ties, and perceived inconsistencies. In Part 1 of this multipart series, we unpack the courtroom tension, the deadlocked jury, and the internet theories shaping the public narrative around the Lindsay Clancy case.

On July 20, 2026, a body-cam video appeared on YouTube: a young woman, hysterical and seemingly shocked as police placed her in handcuffs. Authorities had allegedly found footage of her sexually abusing and recording a 13-year-old boy in a public restroom, footage she allegedly gave her husband to edit. Few months later, a young woman named Talia contacted the us after watching a Rotten Mango Episode. She knows the couple personally, for more than a decade... Her story revealed a far more horrifying connection. This is the case of John and Brianna Nethers, and why it took so long to catch them. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

There are 2 younger women sitting around a table at a trap house in Dallas, Texas. They’re both Latina with a bit of baby fat in their cheeks - but they’re not just some college students looking to buy drugs. They’re here to sell them – a lot of them.   One of the 2 women – she’s a narco with deep connections in Mexico. The other woman? Just a Spanish/English translator for her boss, the narco, and the dealer of the trap house, a man named Love. They need someone to move product for them and since Love has connections in the US - this deal could mean a lump sum of drugs and cash PLUS a lifetime supply from the cartel. He just needs to earn their trust. How? Kill someone.   But not just anyone. They already have the target picked out.   A 35 year old pediatric dentist named Kendra Hatcher. Why would the cartels want to kill a random dentist for children in Dallas, Texas? Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

Destiny swapping is a widely debated topic. The idea that a person can somehow take your fate and swap it with theirs…is rooted in deep levels of jealousy. To the point that it can impact someone’s life and take their blessings, or so it’s believed. It’s much more than a friend trying to dress like you or steal your partner. They are trying to latch onto who you are, your personality, your hopes and dreams. Some say that you can sense it happening. A person will insert themselves into your life, and all of a sudden you start to lose focus, you can’t even seem to make your own decisions. Valeria had no idea, but someone very close to her was seemingly jealous of her. Netizens believed that this person was so envious, that she’d kill Valeria to take her fate. This is the case of 23 year old Valeria Marquez And how she was shot and killed during a TikTok livestream. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

It's unclear who the saying "it can always be worse", is meant for. A girl named Liv is suspicious that her boyfriend of 8 months is cheating on her. But it can always be worse, right? But what if it's as bad as it can get? What if there is no worse… this is the bottom? Then what? Liv reaches over while Mason sleeps. There is only one way to find out if he's cheating on her, go through his phone. Within the hour, she's packing her things and making a run for it. What she found wasn't another woman. It was Mason negotiating prices with strangers on Telegram: $20 for videos, $30 for megalinks, $80 for all of the above. And links to what she later described to police as little girls between the ages of 6 and 7 years old, some as young as 3. This is the case of Mason Hullo, a TikTok looksmaxxer exposed by his ex for purchasing CSAM, and his bizarre excuse behind why. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

July 6th, at the northwestern tip of Horn Island, a body washes ashore face down in the water. It’s the body of a missing 18-year-old, college football player Nolan Wells who disappeared after taking a boat with friends to celebrate the Fourth of July. Since then, there have been more questions than answers. Witnesses share vastly different accounts of what happened on the island with Nolan. Some of his friends shut down their social media, some opt to do interviews, and some quietly post tributes on Instagram. But Nolan Wells’ loved ones are still looking for answers that investigators aren’t providing… Were there things on his phone that were deleted from the day he went missing? If he stayed behind on the island, why didn’t he have his phone or keys with him? And what’s with this circulating audio that netizens swear they can hear people shouting, ‘Nolan’s freaking dead!’ Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

One prominent UFO researcher once said, if you start looking for patterns, you will find them. And people think one of the worst patterns to emerge in 2026 is the pattern of important scientists going missing or ending up dead. Is it a fear‑mongering conspiracy where netizens are connecting together a few dots and calling it a line? A link? Or is it a real legitimate theory? I can’t be the one to tell you. Dr. Chen, a Chinese researcher based in the United States, has the type of resume where if something happens to him it makes you want to throw coincidence out the window. Outside a small Massachusetts courthouse, he locks eyes with a younger man… and within seconds, Chen is running him down, firing 5 to 6 shots, and leaving his 23‑year‑old nephew dead in the parking lot. Has this once brilliant scientist finally gone mad? Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

By 9:45 PM, the aggressively bright fluorescent lights inside a giant Dollar General are enough to give anybody a headache, especially if you’ve been there all day. Ariel would know. She’s worked there for two years, watching most of the town pass through her register. But one family stood out. They always came in just before closing, carrying a smell of cat urine, their children clinging close, hair hanging over their eyes, never looking up. The family always bought the same things: a jug of water… and a large bottle of vegetable oil. On June 29, Ariel rang them up like usual. The next day, she saw them on the news. Sixteen children, crammed into a 12-by-12 room, in what’s now called the Ohio “House of Horrors.” And one question lingers: what were they doing with the vegetable oil?

A forensic DNA test usually scans about 20 fixed markers of DNA. It may take a few days but it’s enough to differentiate a suspect from the rest of the world with a near perfect level of certainty. Except for identical twins. It’s not a perfect analogy but think of DNA as a 3 billion letter book. Most people have about 20 chapters that are completely different. For identical twins, their entire book is identical except for about 8 typos. Not 8 different chapters, or sentences, not even 8 different words. 8 letter typos amongst 3 billion letters. The technology to find these is only available at a handful of labs and costs hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. Thankfully, identical twin crime is rare. Except for Ohio. A woman who lives alone is raped and murdered in her own home, and the DNA left at the scene traces back to a set of identical twins. Two 13 year old boys are the main suspects but which twin is innocent? And which twin is guilty? Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

Mackenzie Shirilla killed two young men. A lot of people, including the courts believe that a part of Mackenzie’s motive was her longterm, hostile relationship with Dominic that he, supposedly, wanted out of. Mackenzie and her parents deny any intent at all. They go so far as to allege that Mackenzie and Dominic’s relationship wasn’t perfect but it also wasn’t that bad. We will be chronologically recounting their fights throughout the years and leading up to the murders. 30k pages of texts between Mackenzie and Dominic from 2020 to July 2022.

Some of the best advice you’ll ever hear is simple: don’t go to prison. But sometimes, it’s unavoidable.

Yard time is where everything happens, fresh air, social life, information. It’s where people start whispering about the show they just saw. The one about 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla.

Mackenzie Shirilla was found guilty of murder, felonious assault, and aggravated vehicular homicide after she murdered her former boyfriend Dominic Russo and his roommate at the time, Davion Flanagan. She deliberately ended the young men’s lives by driving her car into a brick wall at 100 miles per hour. Boom. That’s the graphic t-shirt that Mackenzie’s father decided to wear for his Netflix documentary debut. “I’m a buff baby who can dance like a man, I can shake'a my fanny, I can shake'a my can, I'm a tough tootin' baby—“ That’s the ringtone to Steve Shirilla’s phone that goes off mid-interview. “This wasn't a volatile relationship. They were never going to break up.” And that’s Steve’s line he tells an interviewer when asked about his daughter’s relationship with one of the young men she killed. We personally read tens of thousands of pages of text messages between the two that suggest the complete opposite. This is Mackenzie Shirilla’s double homicide case continued.

19 year old Davion Flanagan’s family and 20 year old Dominic Russo’s family want to know what the hell happened that morning. How could 17 year old Mackenzie Shirilla drive her car straight into a brick building at 100 mph killing their two boys? How could she be the sole survivor? This is the case of Mackenzie Shirilla who used a high speed, intentional motor vehicle collision to end the lives of her longterm boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend/roommate at the time, Davion Flanagan.   After the release of Netflix’s documentary, ’The Crash,’ interest surrounding the case grew but audiences were left with more questions about the fuller picture. Naturally, we FOIA requested this case to the authorities and received:   Over 4 thousand videos. Over 4 thousand photos. Around 31 thousand pages of text messages. Around 92 thousand text messages between just Mackenzie and Dominic. Close to 800 text messages between Mackenzie and her father, Steve Shirilla. Close to 2 thousand text messages between Mackenzie and her close friends. As well as 2 thousand pages of Instagram DMs. 2 entire phone data extraction files with hundreds of personal videos, photos, and audio messages.

After being yanked out of class and arrested on their high school campus, 15 year old Isabelle Valdez and 14 year old Lois Lippert are thrown into the back of a cop car. For 30 minutes the girls are caught on the car’s dash cam giggling and completely unbothered. At one point, Isabelle looks at her best friend, “Oh you trying to look good for your mugshot?” Lois excitedly responds, “Oh shit, am I going to get a mugshot?...This is such a bonding experience, I love it.” The girls are basically acting like they’re going to be able to go home at the end of their “side quest.” After all, the police arrested them before they could even carry out their plan to murder a classmate, right? Isabelle even comments that their plan was, “not a school shooting at least.” Lois agrees saying, “we’d be in prison for life.” It’s true, the girls weren’t planning a school shooting. Instead, they were planning to stab and murder a classmate in a ritual they thought would resurrect an infamous elementary school mass killer back from the dead.

Two songs come out around the time of D4vd’s recent arrest titled, ‘Imaginary Love’ and ’S*x.’ However, these songs aren’t released by D4vd, they’re released by an artist with the stage name Cara Kova. Cara Kova is also known as Caleb Burke, David’s younger brother. And his second debut single, ’S*x,’ is released right after David is arrested and charged in the murder, dismemberment and SA of a 14 year old girl. Netizens have mixed feelings. Some just criticize the timing and title of Caleb’s release. Some disagree. That Caleb was states away from David and shouldn’t be judge by the actions of his older brother. But a few netizens believe everything in David’s case is just way too suspicious and even use forums to ask anyone associated with David if they were a potential accomplice in the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

You can buy a cadaver bag online, no questions asked. Though, most of the buyers make sense: a rural veterinarian, a hunter, maybe a livestock farmer. Just because you order a body bag on Amazon doesn’t mean you get put on some government watch list, right? Recently, people have been arguing for the opposite. Especially if a buyer is flagged buying an inflatable pool, two chainsaws, and a large burn cage, in addition to a cadaver bag. These were purchases made by David Burke, aka ‘D4vd.’ The same rising pop-singer whose Tesla was discovered to contain the dismembered remains of a 14 year old child. D4vd was just arrested, seven months after the Tesla discovery. According to California v.

By 1:04 am, Ivy turns off the lights and heads to bed. 4:43 am and suddenly movement is detected. Tony, her husband, comes into frame with his shirt splattered in a deep red substance. He wanders out of frame only to return wielding a circular hand saw - the electric ones with a rotating blade and serrated edges made to cut two by fours. He’s tense. Rigid. The electric saw isn’t on but he has it pressed against his throat. The serrated blade is frozen. His finger hovers over the power button. All he needs to do is just. press. down. He pulls the saw away from his neck and walks out of frame again. The next time he’s caught on the pet feeder, one of his arms is completely swollen, drenched in blood. But Tony isn’t injured. So where is all this blood coming from? What has he been doing all night? And what is he going to do when he realizes the pet feeder is recording his every move?

35 year old Tanner Horner, a delivery driver with a route in Paradise, Texas writes a letter to the police, “Detective, my family is in danger…” He goes on to claim that the pants in his backpack, although they do belong to the kidnapped and murdered 7 year old girl that recently went missing in Paradise, Texas, were in fact planted there.

High school relationships typically end with everyone moving away for college, which is why ‘love’ letters like these are written. This was addressed to *redacted*, the quarterback of the high school football team.   “..Even if we don’t talk all the time now or even @all when you’re in college, I feel like our little bond will always be there - so just hit me when you wanna go get wasted @ a bar together and I’ll send you my wedding invite one day…” “…how you wouldn’t get out of my car for like 3 hours…or all the random times you “fell asleep” on my couch just waiting for me to invite you into my room (lol)…” “...for this “relationship” being extremely wrong, I feel like we have really made the most out of it…I mean, you’ve been to my parent’s house…in their closet…insane.” “Like bro, you’re the 1st person that got me to smoke weed…Even though you never say it back, I love you + wish you all the best…Love, HB.”   The letter never makes it to the quarterback. Instead, it’s found by the Peoria Police Department during a search warrant of the quarterback’s old high school teacher. 27 year old Haley Beck - or as her students call her - Ms. Beck, has just been caught grooming one of her students.

Taxi drivers run the gamut of clientele outside motels but it’s a hotspot for business and this night-shift driver just lucked out. A very beautiful, 20 year old young woman, in a low cut top, climbs into the backseat. A smell hits the driver. She’s holding two giant take out bags of fried chicken. Great. A new, horrible air freshener. Suddenly she urges him, “Hurry! Go fast! I’m being chased! I’ll give you cash!! Go, go, go!” The driver steps on the gas out of instinct, frantically glancing back in his rearview. The woman leans back, takes a deep breath, snaps a picture, and then just starts scrolling on her phone like every other fare. Her demeanor seems relaxed now? The ride was different but not outrageous. Still, the driver doesn’t stop thinking about it. The fried chicken grease smell. The weird urgency and then the lack thereof. Was she lying about the chase so he would drive faster, getting her home before her chicken went cold?? Then, he sees the news. The young woman he picked up that evening is the motel serial killer of South Korea. The one locals claim is, ‘too pretty to go to jail.’ Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

It’s been about half a year since Karen Read was acquitted of second degree murderer in the death of her former boyfriend, Boston cop John O’Keefe. I thought it was time to answer the long awaited question, ‘hos long until she does an interview?’ These are just a FEW of the questions I asked Karen Read in her first exclusive interview after her acquittal...

It’s been about half a year since Karen Read was acquitted of second degree murderer in the death of her former boyfriend, Boston cop John O’Keefe. I thought it was time to answer the long awaited question, ‘hos long until she does an interview?’ These are just a FEW of the questions I asked Karen Read in her first exclusive interview after her acquittal...

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.

“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.

“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.

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.

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 maryknighthappy@yahoo.com Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

“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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 fucking own Owens dick. Cry more you fucking 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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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
