  • “Pretty” 20-Yr-Old Girl Kills Her Male Dates For Being “Needy”, But Men Want To "Fix Her"
    Apr 19 2026

    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.’

  • Another ‘19 Kids & Counting’ Duggar Couple Arrested for Child Molestation and Endangerment
    Apr 15 2026

    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.

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.

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!
