  • Jealous Mom Kidnaps Her Own 22 YrOld Pregnant Daughter, Takes Her Into Forest & Cuts Unborn Baby Out
    Jan 18 2026

    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? Or is she talking about her daughter?

    The missing 22 year old pregnant woman.

  • PART 2: Karen Read’s First Exclusive Interview After MURDER ACQUITTAL - Who Killed John O’Keefe?
    Jan 12 2026

    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...

    What do you think happened to John O’Keefe the night he died?

    What happened to the Alberts’ German shepherd Chloe?

    Did you feel like Aunty Bev (Judge Cannone) had a personal vendetta against you?

    And if you had to choose, who would you go to dinner with? Lullaby Lally or Spanky Hanky Brennan?

Your ability to recount and present this tragedy is masterful. I'm a new listener and Gen X (old bird hehe) and very much knew about John Holmes. Save for the adult film and homicide elements, my Mum also succumbed to that lifestyle and I lost her when I was 16... I'm now 44 and it still hurts... Nevertheless, love listening to you guys and keep up the stellar work.

Amazing story telling

I've just recently started binge-listening to Rotten Mango for the first time and the timing of me finding this episode specifically being March 2023, is simply insane. I'm Portuguese and grew up surrounded by Brazilian people, media and culture so I identify things regarding Brazil to be close to me also, but I had never heard of this case before. So I just looked him up out of curiosity to see if I could find his online presence as mentioned in this episode, only to find out that he was literally MURDERED earlier THIS MONTH!!! 😱 It was all over Brazilian news, I came across loads of articles from the biggest Brazilian TV stations and news outlets talking about it. What are the odds that he would not only die, but be murdered literally just 10 days prior to me listening to this episode... 🤯😵

Just made a discovery about this case, it's crazy!
