In Brazil, this specific prison is known as the “real dungeons.”

 

Because once you get in - you feel like you’re trapped in hell until they let you out. That is - if you can even get out alive.

 

BBC reporters are there to interview one of the most high profile prisoners. Every single prisoner in there has been deemed a dangerous criminal - this one even more so.

 

She walks out. Thin frame. Short blonde hair.

 

She used to be a model in NYC and was reported to have dated Leonardo DiCaprio. What is she doing in here?

 

“Why are you in here?” - they ask her.

 

“They say I can control people minds. Change their brains.” - she responds.

 

“Can you?”

 

“What do you think? Can I? I hope so… when I get out you will see the power that I have and if it is real or not.”

 

“Is that a threat”

 

Did the prisoner just threaten the BBC reporters?

 

This is the case of Kat Torres - the Brazilian Instagram “influencer” with over 1 million followers that has been charged with human trafficking and slavery charges.

Influencer Lures Followers To Move In, Then Sex Traffics Them To Fund Her Witchcraft

The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don’t make sense. 

 

After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he’s now missing. 

 

He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents. The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour?

 

What about his mom’s “Burn After Reading” letter?

She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel. 

 

Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized?

These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead. 

 

The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible? 

 

Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent’s house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know?

Brian Laundrie Is Alive? His Confession Note For Killing Fiance Similar To Famous Horror Novel

The darkest case I have ever covered 

44 days of the sickest torture... there's burning alive... and fireworks involved? It get's really dark.

#2- 44 Days Of Hell – The Murder of Junko Furuta

A young woman was rushed into the emergency room carrying a tiny 7-pound baby- she had blood all over her face, body, and feet. She had just given birth in the car coming home from Walmart.

A normal delivery is already dangerous but to give birth in a moving vehicle, while driving, could pose a lot of health risks. It was all hands on deck in the emergency room.

If the mother’s uterus was bleeding heavily - that could mean life or death for the mother. The nurse put her fingers on her stomach (as a trained nurse she could tell by pressing on the outside of one’s stomach if blood was dangerously flowing from the uterus). But she felt nothing. No blood flow. No uterus.

The nurse froze.

She turned to her colleagues in pure horror and stated - that’s not her baby.

Then whose baby could it be? And whose blood is this woman covered in?

#333: Jeffrey Epstein’s Girlfriend Turned “Madame” - Supplying Girls To International Elite

It was supposed to be a cute little road trip. 

12-year-old Isabella, her best friend Asunta, and Isabella’s mom were in the car heading towards the beach. 

Isabella’s mom tried to keep the spirits high for the girls - 

“Okay, why don’t we all share a story! Get our creative juices flowing!”

12-year-old Asunta offers to start. Her voice suddenly shaky - 

“There once was a girl who laid in her bed to sleep. She awoke to a man in a mask dragging her body off her bed, covering her mouth, and then choking her with his big strong hands. The girl could not breathe. She could not scream. She was going to die.”

Isabella’s mom pulls the car over to the side of the road because Asunta is bawling her eyes out.

“Sweetie, are you alright?”

Asunta was not alright. This was a true story, and it happened to Asunta - a man broke into their home and tried to kill her. 

But when Isabella’s mom talks to Asunta’s parents about it - she’s even more confused. Why are they not freaked out? Why didn’t they report this to the police? Who is this masked man, and is he still out there?

Why would he want to kill Asunta?

And did the man come back? Because 2 months later, Asunta would be murdered. 

Soon - everyone in Asunta’s life would become a prime suspect. Including her wealthy adoptive parents.

#362: Genius Adopted Girl From China Found Dead - STRANGE Photos Found In Rich Parent’s Phone

“To Catch A Predator” steps:

 1. Hire an adult decoy to lurk on websites advertising themselves as 13 year olds looking for a middle aged companion.
 2. Invite the adult predator to a house that has been wired for audio and video recording.
 3. Have the host of the famous TV show pop out to ask the predator questions and arrest them on the way out.

That is the premise to the show “To Catch A Predator” that has now been cancelled for its moral dilemmas. 

But now influencers are recreating the show themselves on their platforms. Luring in predators, confronting them, and then calling the police. 

That’s what 17 year old Gavon tells the cops was his plan… He met up with a middle aged man on Grindr for the purpose of robbing him because he deserves it. Why else would he talk to a minor?

But for the police to believe his side of the story they have to go through his phone… and that’s where they find a folder titled - “Dark.” 

The password? “Murder.” 

Suddenly a simple robbery case turns into a murder investigation because in it… are videos and photos of 17 year old Gavon Ramsay killing and SAing a 98 year old woman in her own home. Gavon Ramsay is the predator.

#406: 16-Yr-Old Murders 98-Yr-Old Woman To SA Her Corpse For 2 Hours While Recording

The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He’s nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination. 

The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD. 

A man passes by him muttering - 

“Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?”

Another citizen points and squeals - 

“He’s the one! He’s the one!”

With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care. 

This man just won $50. 

How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn’t even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run… and yet. 

There is a lookalike contest for the killer?

Most Americans have been asking themselves this past week - who really is the true victim here?

Is it the one that was shot and killed?

Or is it the shooter himself?

Or is it all of us?

#407: United Healthcare CEO Shot In Public, But Nation Wants Killer Freed: EVERYTHING We Know So Far

Sang’s mom is haunted. Everyone has their own explanations for it but it’s that simple. 

Every time she sets the dinner table - she stares at the empty seat. Sometimes smiling, sometimes pouting, but always as if someone is sitting there. 

Sang would ask - 

“Mom, is everything alright?”

“Just make sure to save some of the meat for Niuniu - you know that’s her favorite.”

Sang’s mom would motion at the empty chair and smile. 

The haunting started when Niuniu, Sang’s little sister, went missing. Nobody knew what happened to her other than the fact that she received a creepy doll with moving eyes shortly before she went missing. 

26 years later Niuniu would come back to tell everyone the truth. She was kidnapped, trafficked, and sold. After 26 years she was coming back to kill her trafficker. Get her revenge.

#408: 5Yr Old Girl SOLD - 26 Years Later She Wants Revenge & On Mission To Kill Trafficker

I received an email from the ex-wife of a serial killer. The subject reads: “ I was married to a serial killer for 7.5 years and I need help!!”

 

Her ex husband was sentenced to death for the murder of 3 women. When authorities searched his house they found a soundproof torture chamber. Whips, iron chains, and many many files. Video files of him torturing his victims - plucking out their nails one by one. 

 

Now, his ex wife has come forward to ask for help. She was not only one of the first people he tried to kill but now her son (that she shares with him) has been taken. The serial killer’s mother has taken her son and now she’s on the hunt to get him back.

#409: I Received A Message From A Serial Killer’s Wife Asking For Help…

The FBI agent watched her across the store. He was seasoned enough to know what that little girl was trying to do. 

He watched her steal a notebook and make a run for the door. Not today. The agent grabbed her arm and stopped her. She was under arrest. 

“I’m an FBI agent and you just committed a crime, little girl. I need to take you to my boss.”

This is how Sally Horner was kidnapped, held hostage, and tortured for 2 years.
