Rotten Mango

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.

I Saw Luigi Mangione In Court & This Is EVERYTHING That Happened

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.

D4vd Uses Celeste’s Voice In New Songs Months Before Her Body Is Found? + New Updates From Police

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.

Body of 14 Year Old Girl Found In Singer D4vd's Car - This Is EVERYTHING We Know So Far

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.

We Sat Down W/ Someone Who Went To The Same Jail As Diddy & Luigi - The Truth About MDC Brooklyn

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.

Police Gave Me EVERYTHING Netflix Didn’t Show You About “Unknown Number”

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?

Mom Claims Mystery Man Said “Hola” Before Knocking Her Out & Stealing Baby - BUT No One Saw A Baby

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.

Teen Boy Mutilates 2 Girls & Throws One Of Their Heads Into The Street In FRONT Of Her Mom

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.

Woman Gets FB Message From Old College BF After He Killed His Rapist - This Is Her Response

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.

I Sat Down With A Killer

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?

Teen Girl Begs TikTok To Find Her Mom’s Killer THEN Gets Arrested For Killing Both Parents

The wife of high-powered influential Harry Piper was kidnapped.

A random note was left - “We want $1 million dollars to be paid in 50,000 unmarked $20 bills.” The family paid it.

It would be two full days till Virginia was found chained up to a tree. Alive.

She never saw the kidnapper’s face.

After three long years, the police presented her with a few audio clips. She perked up. “That’s him! My kidnapper! I’m sure of it! I remember his voice.”

If this were true Virginia was lucky to be alive.

She was listening to the voice of the Hammer Man- who smashed women to death with his bare hands.
