Description
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. If you want deep dives in the psychology of killers, no holding back storytelling of crimes, and stories of lesser known criminals from around the world this is the place for you. Welcome to Rotten Mango but don’t worry it all comes with a seasoning of comedy/sweetness.

1The summer sleep away camp for youths is held on the Island of UTOYA every single summer. About 500 teenagers will gather on the wooded island.
They sleep in tents, have bonfires, and tell creepy stories while roasting marshmallows.
But when the kids start playing games - that’s usually when the fun starts. Card games, tag, hide and seek -
A group of 11 teenagers were lying down in the grass right off the “Lover’s Path.”
“Here lay down right here and don’t move. Shhhh. Act like you’re dead.”
If a single one of them sneezes, coughs, or so much as moves - their covers are blown. They hear the footsteps getting nearer on the path… closer…
One of the 11 looks up.
There is a young guy, blonde hair, striking blue eyes - just standing over them.
She makes eye contact with him… he lifts his hand up and a black rifle appears.
He opens fire.
Out of the 11. 10 will die. 1 will survive.
Another 59 on the island will be killed within the hour. There is a mad gunman on the loose on an island full of teenagers.

There was an emergency at Terri’s daycare. This had never happened before. Ever.
She picked up the phone -
“Hi, uh - there’s been a family emergency. Please come pick your children up right away. Please hurry.”
The parents rush to pick up their children and they let out a sigh of relief when they see all the toddlers are in one piece. But something is wrong with Terri. She’s rushing them into their car seats and you can just tell her mind is elsewhere.
Once all the children are gone - Terri rushes to her phone and dials 911 -
“Hi, it’s an emergency. I found something in my son’s closet wrapped in a plastic bag. He has a shotgun in his room… he just pulled up. Can you please just come?”
Terri kept an eye on her son that just arrived at home.
Any louder, and Brian might hear her.
Any louder and he might realize that his mother Terri knew what he did.
Any louder and he might investigate and find what’s in the kitchen sink. Underneath a blue towel - lay a decapitated head and pair of hacked off hands.
Any louder and the Cohee family would have to ask their 19 year old son - where is there rest of the body??

In the seat facing away from the camera, all they could see was the student’s back and her arms digging through whatever was in her lap. For several minutes, she stayed like this. Then she got up. Turned around. And looked straight into the lens of the CCTV camera in the corner.
She locked eyes and stayed like that. They felt a chill as they watched the footage. An icy stare. Frozen in place. Then she lifted up her hands and held a body up to the camera. A cat--a campus stray, lovingly named Princess by the other University students. She grabbed the back of the kitten’s neck. Then, with her other hand, wrapped her grip firmly around the kitten’s throat and squeezed.
Shanghai Tech’s very own serial cat killer. This is the case dubbed the ‘animal Nth rooms,’ about the world-wide cat (crush, torture, and kill) gang that was responsible for the viral video—the cat blender.
Who is behind it all? And why?

Teenage girls start rushing to the apartment building, jumping excitedly and shouting “Hey Lindemberg! Come to the window, I came here just to see you!”
“We like bad boys!” - it’s like a concert for a boy group celebrity.
But Lindemberg is a ticking time bomb. He’s hiding away from the window in the apartment.
The hollers, catcalls, hearing his name - ugh he can’t focus! He needs to focus right now.
He stretches his arm out the window and waves his hand around wildly as a pulls the trigger on his gun.
Pop! Pop! Pop! He shoots straight into the crowd that had formed below him - the groupies and admirers scatter - but Lindemberg is still fuming.
He can shoot into a crowd of admirers but he can’t shoot the girl he came to kill. The one he had taken hostage just hours before. The one he had groomed since she was 12 years old. The love of his life. He’s still deciding if he should spare her or shoot her.
Maybe he should give the big crowd below him what they came for - a show.

Jolly’s whole family was dead. Well, almost all of them, but she never let that get her down. But this time, her friends noticed - something was very wrong with Jolly.
She seemed out of it at the small gathering.
Anytime someone tried talking to her - she would glance across the room. It seemed like she was waiting for someone to walk in.
“Don’t you want to marry someone like him?” - Jolly said.
Her friend looked at her like she sprouted another head - “Excuse me?”
“That guy over there - he just seems so peaceful and calm.”
Jolly’s friends were confused - was she talking about Shaju? He’s happily married with two kids… and not to mention… he’s her cousin.
Her friends didn’t think too much into it until Shaju, Jolly’s new love interest, his wife and child died mysteriously…
Was Jolly Joseph killing everyone that she felt was in her way? Or… was there something just in the curry?

Kenta's Tuesday morning routine was always the same — a 5 a.m. breakfast of rice, miso soup, and salted salmon, followed by his walk to work at Tomogaoka Middle School, where he greeted students at the blue gates every morning.
But today was different.
Kenta took the same route as always — turned the same corner — and dropped his briefcase onto the ground. His hand flew to his mouth. Maybe he let out a scream, maybe he didn’t – and it was all just in his head.
Shaking, Kenta read the letter:
"This is the beginning of a game
You stupid police
Try and stop me if you can
Murder is something I cannot help but enjoy
There's nothing I want to see MORE than people's deaths
Let the foul vegetables be punished with death
Let there be bloody judgment for my many years of bitterness."
On the blue metal gates of the school — right next to the sign that read TOMOGAOKA MIDDLE SCHOOL — sprouting from one of the jagged metal picks of the fence -
The severed head of an 11-year-old.
The note was shoved in his mouth.

I need you to look into Alice Sebold for me. The New York Times Bestselling author… something’s not right. I think… I think she’s lying.

15-year-old Eddie comes home from his jog – changes out of his soiled clothes – and starts googling on his computer:
HOW TO COMBAT ANXIETY.
He’s waiting for a text message from the girl he likes - but it’s not her.
It’s a former classmate of his – Scarlet. The message reads.
“My brother just told me not to go to Linear Park because a woman got stabbed there.”
Eddie replies: “Jesus – really?”
She responds: “Yeah, they say it’s murder…”
He lets the news sink in—someone was murdered at the very park that he had just been to… When the realization of that hit, Eddie would do two things.
One, he would hide the 5-inch knife in his room; it was covered in blood.
And two, he would never speak again.

All the police could do was watch the livestream - the camera was set up in a motel room. They could see in the video the girl was helplessly crying as she was assaulted by a man.
One by one - more men showed up to the motel room to assault her.
They all stood in line in the order that they came - waiting for their turns. The victim would be found dead soon after. When news broke in the livestream chatrooms that she died - the comments started pouring in.
“Wait, did the motel girl really die? That’s so sad… we should go relieve ourselves on her funeral portrait. One last gift from us!
“Dang, if she knew she was going to die, she should have given us her body one more time.”
The police saw the video but they had no idea who these assaulters were, who orchestrated the attack, or how to even catch them.
All they knew was there were more victims. Hundreds of them. All victims of the Nth room. And they needed to save them before another dies.

The SBS news producers sat around a laptop in the conference room. They replayed the video of a girl with a bag over her head and a red string tied around her.
She says:
“I am The Doctor’s slave. I will light myself on fire in a few days in front of the SBS headquarters if they air the episode on The Doctor’s Room.”
The producers call the police who secured the headquarters but they needed to find out who the girl is. They need to find out who she is - so they can stop her. Or else someone will die at SBS.
Because The Doctor was playing games with them and he was willing to do whatever it takes to win.
This is the case of BAKSA – the DOCTOR - who ran the most prolific, international CP torture rings of recent times ALL of which was available on the clean, World Wide Web—not the dark web—the public internet.
In fact, it was on one of the most commonly downloaded apps by netizens… TELEGRAM.
Welcome to the doctor’s room.

Eunhee was an A list actress and had always had star treatment but this was a whole new level. She had a guarded mansion and millions of dollars at her disposal.
Every evening, platters of shrimp, lobster, sushi, delicacies shipped in from all over the world filled an entire banquet table. It was all just for her.
Every morning, a new gift was delivered for her downstairs, a fur coat, lacy lingerie, or beautiful gowns. She added them to the closet in ‘her’ bedroom already stuffed to the brim. Every single piece was perfectly tailored to fit her body; her exact measurements all the way down to her undergarments. She had guards watching her every move and tending to her every need.
The one condition was that - she couldn’t leave… unless he called.
A week into her stay - her assistant burst in through the door excited to get her ready. He had invited her to a party and she needed to look perfect.
She got all dolled up and was led down to the front where she was face to face with the man who kidnapped her.
The Supreme Leader of North Korea. Kim Jong Il.

Gustavo stumbled out of the nightclub, barely keeping balance. He felt like he was hallucinating. He noticed people looking at him with very concerned looks – what? Did he have something on his face? He looked back up to a random man rushing towards him with a pail of water. He threw the water onto Gustavo’s arms.
Everyone was acting so strange…
Then a woman yelled at him, “HEY! You need to call an ambulance!—There’s something wrong with your body!”
Gustavo was taken aback but reassured the woman, “NO! Don’t worry. It’s just my shirt—I tore it on the way out of the club; that’s all…”
He was sure of it. He could feel his shirt in that moment, shredded and hanging off his body. Every time he took a step forward or turned around to look at another stranger yelling at him, he could feel it swaying, hitting other parts of his torso.
The woman looked at him very concerned, “Sir. You’re not… wearing a shirt.”
Gustavo walked towards a streetlamp and looked down at his arms. His flesh was eviscerated, hanging only by his wrist.
His skin was melting off..

“I can’t let you in…”
The housekeeper was confused - what does the mom mean she can’t let me in?
“Could you just toss the keys from your balcony?”
The mother threw her keys from the balcony and vanished into the house. The housekeeper walked into the house and it was immediately chaos. The mother was hysterical - the father was banging his head on the wall.
The mother threw her arms around the housekeeper. She cried and ushered her to a bedroom, “Come, come, inside and see what happened!”
Lying in her bed was the family’s 13 year old daughter, dead. Her throat slit ear to ear. Her body looked posed and so were her stuffed animals, though they were eerily free of any blood or splatter. This case would become known as the JonBenét Ramsey case of India.
Rumors of cheating, black mail, revenge, honor killings, truth serum, grooming and orgies consumed the media but the only thing we know for certain is - whoever her killer or killers are – they are free.

“Could you please help me? I need money for my baby.”
Something strange was happening in the small city of Fuyang, China. There was an influx of families begging for help on the street. All of them said something was very wrong with their child. The baby had a mystery illness and needed help.
When passerbys would bend down to take a closer look - they realized that the 5 month old infant had the head size of a “full size watermelon.”
This was not a genetic condition nor was there an explanation.
The truth would lead to over 20 arrests and 2 death penalty sentences.
And the eerie feeling that - there must be something in the water there.

The surveillance footage that captured the limp body of a young boy getting dragged into a closet was surprisingly clear.
“You’re pathetic, but I already knew that.” The person talking came into view and positioned the boy in front of the camera. His body was completely nude except for a sagging diaper. To be alive - seemed agonizing.
The little boy’s breathing sounded like a fish out of water - they bent over and pinched the little boy’s lips together.
“See? You don’t need to breathe through your mouth like that - dummy.”
Those would be the last words he ever hears. The boy would die in that closet. After enduring endless torture- starvation, ice baths, and being forced to drink hot sauce. But who was behind the camera watching?

He woke up from the smell. His head was pounding as his eyes adjusted to the harsh bathroom light. Did he drink too much the night before?
What is that smell?
He reached his hand up to rub his eyes… it was covered in blood. He looked down - blood. All over his clothes, the tiles, everywhere.
He slowly turned his head to the bathtub - and there floating in the water… were dismembered body parts. Along with a severed head with long black hair that was getting tangled…
“I swear I woke up and there was just a body here.” The police would never fall for it. He had no choice but to put on a raincoat, mask, and eye goggles and get to work. Finish the job.
But eventually, he would stop, right? This would be the 9th severed head in his collection.

Be like Barbie, Nina thought. She pushed her chest out and applied bubblegum lip gloss as she arrived at the seaside mansion for the first time. The last thing she wanted was to look like a child.
But to Jeffrey Epstein, that was absolutely what he wanted. In fact, quite possibly the only thing he desired at all.
What do rich men desire when they know they can buy almost everything in the world? They want what they can’t have. For Epstein that was young girls, illegally young girls, inexperienced young girls—his desires weren’t uncommon by any means either.
Epstein was a multi millionaire rubbing shoulders with princes, socialites, tycoons, magnates, all over the world who had exactly the same desires. How far would the rich go to get something they couldn’t buy?

Camilla Farter Bowels.
I love how you pronounce Camilla Parker Bowles, name. Bowels suits her.
I really don't like Italian police. This. Amanda Knox. Other cases. They're just horrible.
A teenager? She was 13. That's not a teenager. That's a child.

I needed to find a new podcast app since Google decided to cancel "Google Podcast". This app is great. We get to leave comments. I've been listening to your podcasts for many moons now. I am currently on episode #254. I love how detailed your podcasts are; though sad at times. Your podcast was one of the "OGs" I started listening to when I first got into podcasts. I only had 2 at the time, yours being the 3rd. Since then I try to keep up with current, but had a 6mos break. I'm back now. :]

Several details for your story: first of all, Ukraine was a part of USSR, it's called Ukrainian republic and collectivization was happening everywhere, not only in Ukraine, but all around the country. Second of all, what is a special division for peasants? It's nonsence! Ukraine was not a country at the time of WWII! It became a country in the 90s after the destruction of USSR, and the war ended in 1945. And there was not any difference between people from all the republics. It was one country.
These cops are complicit in murder. Doing nothing is just as bad as being an accomplice.
love the storytelling! Good work!
geeze. why is every police department so wildly incompetent.
