In this episode, Kady shares a series of stories where Reddit stepped in to help solve the case, and in one instance, even helped save a life.
In the first story, a user named RBradbudy1920 shares on Reddit that he has been receiving mysterious post-it notes in his bedroom, but has no idea how they got there. It was only after he was considering legal action against his landlord that someone chimed in with a keen observation, one that in hindsight might have actually saved his life.
In the second story, an elderly woman named Susan Rainwater goes out for a short bike ride only to be later found unresponsive in a ditch with her wrecked bike nearby. With little evidence on the scene itself, authorities were struggling to figure out who might have done this to Susan, until some vigilant internet users banded together and brought her the justice she deserved.
In the last story, a man is found dead at the scene of a car crash in 1995, but due to the extent of his injuries, authorities had no way to identify who he was except for some scattered personal items and a ticket stub for a Grateful Dead concert. Because of this, the man - who would later be dubbed "Grateful Doe" - would remain unidentified for decades, until a small group of online sleuths dedicated their own time to this case, and eventually found his identity.

He had forty-five aliases. He spoke five languages. And on his death certificate, under profession, someone with a twisted sense of humour wrote: apprentice salesman.
They weren't wrong.
Victor Lustig had spent decades crossing between Europe and America, swindling anyone who crossed his path. He charmed wealthy businessmen into investing in Broadway shows that didn't exist. He sold a phony currency-duplicating machine to marks who genuinely believed they'd found a device that printed money. He talked his way into boardrooms, parlours, and back rooms, and out of every trap law enforcement tried to set for him.
But nothing, prepared the world for what would do in Paris in 1925.
His inspiration came from a newspaper article about the enormous cost of maintaining the Eiffel Tower each year. So he forged government credentials, assembled five of the city's most prominent scrap metal dealers, and offered them the chance to purchase one of the most recognisable landmarks on earth. The winning bidder paid up, and before the man dared go to the police, Lustig was already gone.
But the crazy part is that he came back and did it again. This is the life of Victor Lustig. The man who sold the Eiffel Tower. Twice.

In this episode, we bring back the much-loved mystery guessing game format, only this time with our beloved former policeman Vincent as well. So, why was a man found only in his underwear in the forest? Why do buses always skip this normal looking bus stop? And most importantly, can 3 bumbling idiots outwit an ex-cop in a guessing game?

The neighbours had been noticing the smell for days.
It wasn't the kind of smell you could easily ignore. It was the kind that settled in the back of your throat, hinting that something at the Liu house had gone very wrong.
When someone finally called the police, officers arrived to find the doors locked from the inside with steel bars drawn across them. No obvious way in. No obvious way out. But what was even more disturbing, were the iron grilles placed over every external window, as well as the hundreds of flies hovering just outside them.
When a locksmith finally got the door open, the stench hit them like a wall. And somewhere inside that sealed, silent house, in a bathroom with its windows and door taped shut from the outside, they found the children.
All five of them.

In this episode, Kady shares 3 stories of lesser known cases from around the world.
In the first, a mother leaves her 18 year old daughter at home to take care of her younger 5 year old brother. But when she returns, she finds that the door is locked, and faints immediately upon finally seeing the horrors within their apartment.
In the second, a couple wake up one morning to find their 4 year old daughter Paulette missing. But what's disturbing than the disappearance of a little girl was their alleged apathy around the whole case, with the mother even saying on TV that the whoever took her daughter can just leave her at a mall. This case would take an even more bizarre turn however, when Paulette would eventually be discovered inside her own bedroom.
In the final story, a lady getting out of a parking lot reverses into a young child and her mother, but doesn't even get out of her car to call for help. But what made this story even more infuriating, was that officers found and questioned her, but still let her go free.

In 2003, a man named Sumanto was arrested in Purbalingga, Central Java, after the remains of a recently buried corpse was found in his home. Things would only get stranger when he admitted to stealing the corpse and even consuming parts of it as he believed that it would grant him supernatural abilities.
But fast forward to 2025 however, and the world would see him in an entirely new light, sharing inspirational messages and fitness routines in front of the camera, alongside eating his favorite food, satay.

It takes guts and bravery to admit when you're wrong and try to correct your behavior, all the more so depending on what you actually did. Which is sometimes, some people will do whatever it takes to avoid facing the consequences.
In this episode, Kady shares a couple of stories along these lines. In the first, a woman with a failing real estate business resorts to stealing money from her husband to keep up with her expenses. But when she is finally caught, she resorts to desperate measures instead of dealing with the fallout.
In the second story, an up and coming football player from Brazil has a weakness for women and ends up getting one of his mistresses pregnant. But instead of owning up and taking care of his child, he would choose to go down a much darker path.

Inside Court No. 7 of the Nagpur District Court, a man is brought in under police escort. He's been here before. And he knows that how he can get away. But today however, feels different. Because today, they come for him.
Hundreds of them. Women. Mothers. Daughters. Neighbours. Armed with knives, chilli powder, and thirteen years of unanswered screams. They flood through the doors of a building designed to uphold the law; and make sure that he never walked out of it.
So who was Bharat Kalicharan Yadav — the man they called Akku — that people were willing to kill him in broad daylight? And what does it say about justice when the only place it could be found... was in the hands of the people the system had already failed?

In August of 1986, Michael Morton celebrated his birthday along with his wife, Christine, and their 3 year old son Eric. The next morning, he would leave for work at 530am, only to contacted shortly after by the local police that his wife had been discovered bludgeoned to death in their own home.
Given the circumstances, and the fact that he had an argument with his wife the night before, Michael was immediately made the prime suspect of the murder. Leading to his life sentence conviction in February the following year on the basis of prosecutor Ken Anderson's passionate please for a heavy punishment.
But this story however, doesn't follow the conventional script. And what initially seemed like a straightforward case would eventually be completely upended when a plucky lawyer named John Raley would look deeper into the case files, and uncover something deeply wrong with Michael Morton's conviction.

In July of 2021, a young lady by the name of Watanabe Mai would appear on popular Japanese Youtuber Korekore's channel, and proceed to shock millions of netizens online. During the interview, she would brazenly boast about the millions of yen that she had received from various men, while also laying out her techniques and methods for doing so. This would eventually lead to her arrest several years later when another woman was reported for scamming men using Mai's methods, where she would ultimately be sentenced to prison time along with a fine.
But what caught many people off guard wasn't just the fact that she was a love scammer, it was that even after scamming so many men, she was essentially broke and homeless; leaving everyone to wonder, where did all the money go?

On the morning of 25th June 2018, local authorities in Singapore received a report that would unravel into one of the most quietly devastating cases the country had ever seen. An elderly woman in her 70s was found dead in her family's Chua Chu Kang flat. And her foreign domestic helper, a slight, soft-spoken girl from Myanmar, was gone.
By the time police found their prime suspect, a story had already begun forming in the press. And the foreign domestic helper, then just a teenage girl, sat at the center of it all, waiting to find out what Singapore's justice system would condemn her to.
But the question that would haunt this case for years wasn't simply what happened inside that flat on that January morning.
It was why — and whether anyone had ever stopped to ask it.

In February of 2022, local authorities in Green Bay, Wisconsin, picked up a case that would become one of the state's most shocking homicide cases. Police were initially in disbelief upon hearing the details, but the horrifying reality of the situation would be immediately confirmed when they came onto the crime scene itself. Because in the basement of the house, there lay a bucket with a cloth over the top; and in it contained the severed head of a 24 year old man.

Sometimes, the harshest truths you try to escape will only come back to haunt you with a terrifying vengeance. A mother escapes a war-torn country with twins and a traumatic past that she never spoke about. But the truth resurfaces at a community swimming pool when she recognizes someone from behind, only to collapse and fall into a coma when the person turns around. Now it is up to her twin children to retrace her mother's footsteps in order to uncover the horrifying truth.

On the surface, OneTaste seemed to be just like any other viral wellness or lifestyle trend on social media, with founder Nicole Daedone promising sexual liberation and spiritual connection through their various courses and luxury retreats. But underneath the glossy marketing and glowing reviews was something far darker and more disturbing than anyone could have imagined. With accounts of emotional manipulation and sexual abuse gradually surfacing through investigative journalists.
So what is the reality behind OneTaste? Is it simply a wellness movement like any other, or a cult that took advantage of vulnerable participants?

On a quiet Monday morning in Delmar, New York, 52‑year‑old court clerk Peter Porco got up from bed and proceeded with his typical morning routine. But while he opened his front door to grab the morning newspaper, he noticed a trail of blood on the walls and floors behind him. That when his body failed him and he collapsed to the ground. Hours later, a welfare check would bring officers to the scene, where they would discover Peter's body in a pool of his own blood; his jaw barely hanging on to this face, and half of his brain completely exposed.

In January of 2016, Mirna Salihin was catching up with a couple of friends over coffee when things would take an unexpectedly dark turn. Shortly after taking a few sips of her drink, she complained that it tasted bad, before quickly showing seizure-like symptoms and collapsing to the ground. She would then pronounced dead shortly after.
But what is perhaps the most mysterious part of this case was the forensic discovery of cyanide inside Mirna's coffee, leading the investigators and everyone else to wonder: who put the cyanide in Mirna's coffee? And how?

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!! 龙马精神! 马到成功! 新年快乐!
It's the time of the year again for red packets, family gatherings, and lots and lots of goodies. But perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of CNY culture is the myriad of superstitions and beliefs surrounding the holiday.
So, why don't we sweep the floor on the first day of CNY? Why don't we use sharp objects? Or why do we try to avoid arguing or insulting others during this period? Is it all just arbitrary myths passed down through generations? Or is there some actual reasoning behind it all?
