Rotten but still a little sweet! Rotten Mango is a true crime + all things spooky podcast. We love doing deep dives into the darkest crimes and we tend to not leave out any details - which can get a little rotten at times.

Rotten Mango

It’s a blizzard party. A group of friends at a house, getting drunk, before they all drive back home. By 2AM, the snow is coming down hard and the party goers have left for their own homes. Only the residents of 34 Fairview Road remain. 

 

At least that’s what they say.

 

Within just a few hours, the frozen body of John O’Keefe is found outside on their lawn. Laying in the snow. 

 

The best way to figure out what happened to John O’Keefe is to talk to every single person inside the house for the ‘blizzard party'.

 

But ‘hos’ can authorities have a proper investigation if all of them are evasive?

 

Nobody wants to answer any of the questions directly and their stories aren’t adding up. Most importantly, what about the allegations that every single person inside of the house that evening may have a motive to harm John?

 

Are they telling the truth? Could it really just’ve been John’s ‘jealous’ girlfriend Karen? Did she really run him over in a fit of rage like all the party goers say?

 

The authorities seem to think so. They take the residents of 34 Fairview and the partygoers at their word despite the mountains of evidence that point in a completely different direction.

 

So the real questions are: Is Karen Read actually guilty or is it just because the residents of 34 Fairview are the most well-connected and powerful family in Canton?

Man Dead In Front of Powerful Family Home After “Blizzard Party” -Everyone Inside Has Motive To Kill

It’s normal to cringe when you think back to your middle school crush. Jane hated thinking about Robert. She had an obsession with him when she was 12 years old. She remembered everyone in the class would fight over him, try to get alone time with him, and he seemed to love all the attention he was getting.

When Jane found out he was dating another girl - she was so devastated she didn’t know what to do with herself. He got her alone in an office, lifted her onto the table, kissed her on the forehead, and told her -

“You’re a total knockout and I’ll take you on a date when you turn 18.”

Jane was 12. Robert was a full grown police officer leading the Police Explorer’s Program she was in. Later, Jane would discover he was being interviewed about his connection to Sandra Birchmore. A pregnant 23-year-old woman that had been mysteriously found dead.

“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…

They’re all wearing the same blue tracksuit. Thousands of them standing out in the middle of the woods wearing the same thing. What is this place?

 

They’re out in the middle of the woods - in what appears to be a small secretive city? A military base? How did they get 60+ buildings out here in the middle of the forest?

 

And that giant wall… it’s 30 feet tall. Tall enough to keep people out. Or keep them in. 

 

The guards are watching each of the track suit wearing people with precision. One wrong move and you get beat. That’s when they hear it… 

 

The man starts running up onto the roof of one of the buildings - and there he goes. He flies off the top and lands in front of everyone. On his head. 

 

Someone standing right there says - “honestly, I didn’t know the sound of someone’s head exploding could make such a loud splitting sound. I saw his skull explode open.”

 

A guard member walks out and sweeps up his brains and bones as if nothing happened. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? It kind of sounds like the plot of one of the most famous series on Netflix, Squid Game.

 

But it’s not. 

 

This is the real life case of the Brother’s Home in South Korea. 

The true story behind Squid Game.

The Real Life "Squid Game" - Thousands Of Koreans Forced To Play Children's Games To NOT Be Killed

It’s the biggest church in South Korea but nobody knows it exists. The church itself can fit at least 4,000 church goers all at once. But that’s not the intriguing part of the church… they just do things differently.

 

There are a row of people standing in front of the pastor. They are asking him for forgiveness but they’re all wearing the same thing. A red sack with big ugly painted letters on there that read “I am a sinner who has gone against God’s word.”

 

Pastor Lim prays over them - one by one. Before he turns around and pulls out a set of red boxing gloves. He slowly, calmly puts them on and starts beating the people down. He doesn’t stop till the entire row of red sack wearing people are bloody on the floor.

 

Then he calmly fixes his clothes and heads back to the podium to continue preaching to the church goers.

 

This is not a cult story.

 

This is Brother’s Home.

A government funded camp to cleanse the humans of South Korea ahead of the Olympics.

 

The true story behind the Squid Game show.

South Korea "Erased" 4,000 People To Host The Olympic Games: True Story Behind “Squid Game”

December 12th is the night that everyone has been waiting for.

 

The invitation is cryptic - it takes some guests weeks to figure out what it reads.

 

“Sdaeh tsilaer & sesserd gnol eit kcalb?”

 

The secret is this - you have to reflect it into the mirror to figure out what it says.

 

“Black tie, long dresses & surrealist heads.”

 

Welcome to the Rothschild's (one of the wealthiest and most powerful families) newest secret party. Everyone walks in donning a giant bejeweled mask of animals that you would normally hunt. Stags. Deer. Birds in cages.

 

The staff in the massive mansion are dressed as cats, perched on the stairs, meowing at the passing guests. There’s no way they’re not hunting people afterwards right?

 

That’s always been the conspiracy. Rich people hunting the poor for sport. But what if it is true? What if it happened in South Korea and became the inspiration of the Netflix show - Squid Game?

Man Survives Real Life “Squid Game” That Killed 551 People - Funded By Rich Australian Family

“I thought trash day was just a few days ago?”

 

Diane hears her neighbors bringing out their trash bins to the street. How is it already trash day? Diane is a young, single mom, and sometimes things slip her mind. She shrugs and grabs the trash bins.

 

As she’s walking out of her backyard - a man and a young woman appear in front of her. They smash her on the head with a metal pipe. They grab a bottle and pour hot, burning, liquid acid all down her face and back.

 

Diane knows exactly who did this to her. Her ex-bf. The YouTuber known for eating raw squirrels and pig heads on the streets of London.

 

He just tried killing her. And he’s going to try again. All whilst making videos for YouTube.

Children say the scariest things. Sometimes you can’t help but feel like they know something you don’t.

One daycare worker vividly remembers a moment that sent shivers traveling down her spine. A little boy was playing with a little girl. House. Innocent right?

Out of nowhere, the little boy started to scream and smash mommy doll up against the wall. It was so unlike him.

The alarming part? The little boy’s mom had recently been murdered and everyone suspected someone close to her. Did the boy know more than he told the police?
