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.

South Korea is going through an erase all faces panic. Every single selfie is being wiped from the internet just in case. As a response - a male college student wrote on a forum -
“Put a finger down and ask yourself
Have I ever been asked out or confessed to? (Joke confessions do not count)
Do a lot of men try to talk to me even though I don’t talk to them first?
Have I ever looked into the mirror and resented my parents?
Can other people recognize me without makeup?
Do I weigh more than 145 pounds?
Do I frequent feminist online forums?
When I walk on the street, do children avoid me?
If you answered yes to more than 3 of these questions - don’t worry. Your rate of being a victim of sexual deep fakes is very low. Men have standards too. We don’t just deepfake any woman.”
This is the case of the “new Nth Rooms” where over 400 schools have been found to be operating illegal chatrooms where students are getting deepfaked into sexually explicit photos and videos.
A whole network of deep fake trading and creating has been found.
Most victims and perpetrators? Teenagers.

Grandma C knew that something wasn’t right about what she was looking at. Her daughter is standing there holding her 2-month-old baby. But everything is wrong.
Her daughter’s pants are soaked in urine.
The way she’s talking sounds like someone clamped her tongue, and two-month-old baby Mirabelle is not moving.
In fact, Mirabelle’s little face is bright angry red and her body seems stiff.
Grandma C rushes to put her down and unzips baby Mirabelle’s onesie…
She’s peeling. The skin on her entire body is peeling.
Mirabelle’s mom starts to explain that she must have suffered a stroke while holding her baby and fell on top of her… onto the space heater. Squashing her baby into the space heater and burning her.
But when authorities arrive - they start to think differently.
Because Mirabelle’s injuries are not consistent with someone who has been burned by a space heater. Also, why was her little purple pacifier found in the microwave?

There is a college student laying down on the hospital bed. She’s staring up at the ceiling in distress as someone records her silently from the corner of the room.
“I’m going to have such a long day tomorrow - I’m not going to answer anyone’s Snapchats!”
The person recording does not respond.
“Well, you’re too quiet. I’m going to start singing since I hate the quiet.”
The girl gets up in the hospital bed to perform Justin Bieber’s “Intentions.” She’s whipping her head around like she’s giving a stage performance on tour. She just doesn’t understand why the man in the room with her is so stiff. Loosen up. Have some fun.
He snaps at her - “you want me to be honest with you? You’re going to jail. You don’t have bond. You killed two people tonight. That’s what’s going on. So no, you’re not going to school tomorrow.”
This is the case of Stephanie Melgoza - the college student who killed two people and proceeded to complain the whole time about how she needed to go to class, told the officers about how excited she was for her Vegas trip, and sang songs at the crime scene.

Hospitals are no strangers to death. But something very odd was happening inside the walls of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College.
The medical students, junior doctors, professors were all running away from the classroom. Screaming.
Administrators rushed to call Dr. Di’s parents.
‘She self exited.’
That is what her parents were told. Their precious daughter had taken her own life. Perhaps it was the unbearable pressure and long work hours?
Or not.
The autopsy would show that Dr. D, a 31 year old female doctor, was found gang SA’d to the point her pelvic bone was damaged, bleeding from her eyes, mouth, and private parts, bite marks all over, and her legs found bent at an unnatural contorted angle. Anyone could see that she clearly had not taken her own life.
So then, why would her parents be told that? Who is the hospital protecting?
What are they covering up?

The entire courtroom is quiet as each person walks up to the front and points. They point at this tiny miniature model of a movie theater sitting on the table.
The tiny blue miniature-model seats are positioned just like they were when it all happened.
3 years ago - the emergency exit door to Theater 9 would open. A man with bright orange hair wearing tactical gear would walk into the theater - and open fire.
At the midnight premiere of Batman The Dark Knight Rises.
He is now sitting in the courtroom charged with 24 counts of murder, 140 counts of attempted murder, and 1 count of illegal explosives.
But there are still so many questions - he told his psychiatrist months prior that he wanted to kill people. Why wasn’t he put on a psychiatric hold? Why did he write a notebook filled with his plans to mail to her? Why did he, a neuroscience major, hate humanity so much to believe in something as vile as “human capital?” The idea that taking a life increases the value of your own.

On June 1, 2024, A Korean YouTube channel uploaded a video titled - “Pack Ki Beom, did you think that I wouldn’t find you?”
The video includes details about Pack’s personal life. Showing his comfortable luxurious lifestyle with his wife and young daughter. It would appear that overnight Korean netizens flock to Pack’s page leaving hate comments.
“I hope your daughter gets taken away from you.”
“I hope the same thing happens to your daughter - then what will you do?”
It seemed overnight all of Korea would turn on a random civilian named Pack Ki Beom.
20 years ago Pack was the ringleader of the Miryang 44 case. Where 44 high school students blackmailed, tortured, and SA’d a middle school girl for over a year straight.
All 44 perpetrators were not punished. Without even a mark on their criminal records. They were free to live as anonymous free men in the world.
Until June 1st.
This would be the start of a string of vigilante justice YouTubers releasing the identities and doxxing the perpetrators involved. One by one.
Leaving everyone in South Korea to wonder - do I know one?

Ophelia, an Italian mafia boss, had a thing for fingers. She likes the way they curve, the soft bend at the knuckles, the tender skin, just everything about hands. She loves.
She just hates that she only has one.
Her hand was cut off in a war with the enemy mafia over territory.
Ophelia is sitting at a bar when Kim walks in. Kim is part of the enemy mafia. Kim sits down and slides over a gift.
Ophelia peers inside and a small smile creeps onto her face…. This is perfect.
So beautiful.
She uses both of her hands to place the gift bag under the table. Yes, both of her hands.
Because Ophelia’s hands were never cut off.
She’s not a mafia boss.
In fact, her name is not even Ophelia.
She is a South Korean high schooler who joined a role playing game. But now the question is - who is Kim?
Because inside the gift bag are very very real human lungs and flesh.
Including a pretty little finger. Ophelia’s favorite.

Finding love is not easy. Especially when you’re competing against almost 3.9k other people for just one man. You really only have one shot, so how do you stand out? You could send pictures or even nudes!
Though on second thought…they’ll probably get flagged and he won’t even be able to read them. Maybe a love poem? “I know you’ve been hurt, but I’ll be with you. I see the pain in your eyes.” It’s kind of like the bachelor; everyone fighting for one man’s affections. Who’s going to come out on top?
Only, this man is not the bachelor. He’s a killer. He committed double homicide. He killed two people in cold blood.
He has gone viral on tiktok for being ‘hot’ and now thousands of people from all over the world are writing to him—believing they can change him. This is the case of Wade Wilson.

Earlier this month, an audio clip went viral on the internet. In the clip you can hear a man’s voice aggressively screaming -
“SHUT UP SHUT UP! You stupid b*tch, didn’t I tell you not to this??”
You can hear a woman crying, begging for him to stop. Begging him to stop and spare her life.
That woman is TzuYang. She is the biggest YouTuber in South Korea with over 10 million subscribers.
And she had essentially been held hostage for the last 4 years of her life and forced to film eating (Mukbang) videos.

7-year-old Mary Galvin has plans to kill her older brother. The way he roams around town with that empty gaze. The way their parents refuse to talk about his behavior. It was all going to end.
Mary had her older brother, Donald Galvin, tied to a tree as she gathers sticks to pile at his feet. He is a witch about to be burnt at the stake.
Donald is more than happy to play along. In the end, Mary backs out of her plan to kill him—she didn’t bring matches along and by the time she realizes what she’s really doing—she’s sprinting away like it never happened. Donald is fine either way. If she had gone through with it he would’ve happily died right then and there because to him, Mary is more than just his little sister.
She is the Virgin Mary. The Mother of Christ himself—and it makes sense—because they’re not even real siblings. Donald had been switched at birth and his real mother is actually an octopus.
This is the story of the ‘most mentally disturbed family in America’ (according to one psychiatrist). 12 full blood siblings living in one house. 6 out of the 12 siblings would be diagnosed with schizophrenia. This is the case of the Galvin family.

They are the only ones inside the laundromat and they need help.
The two sisters are standing over baby Benson’s tiny body trying to do chest compressions. Everything was fine two seconds ago.
He was asleep in the car and they brought him while they were running errands - why is he ice cold to the touch? None of this makes sense?
When the police arrive at the scene. They agree. None of this makes sense.
Because baby Benson was dead when the sisters pulled him out of his car seat to perform CPR.
He was dead when they walked into the laundromat.
In fact - he had been dead for a few hours.
Which begs the questions - how long has he been dead, how did nobody notice, and who did this to him?

This was probably the strangest call the Hollywood police received.
A foul stench coming from an apartment unit. A dead man is found with his head painted green and red. He didn’t even look human - he looked like he was wearing a mask.
But in front of him is a tripod set up - with a camera. Someone had filmed his death. In fact, someone had filmed 20 hours of this man losing his mind. His mental collapse.
20 hours of footage that shows him slowly losing touch with reality and start living fully in his fantasy world. His ultimate fantasy?
Send one of the most famous singers an acid bomb. Because if she’s ugly. Nobody will want her anymore. She will come crawling to him - her biggest fan.

The police had a strange situation on their hands.
A thief had broken into a multi-million dollar home - to steal a safe.
The safe had 3 items in it.
Jewelry.
Investment documents.
And the home owner’s old phones.
The police were able to quickly determine that the thief did not want the jewelry or the investment documents in the safe. Which means - the thief is going after the home owner’s old phones.
Why would a thief want some old phones? Was there something on there that they didn’t want anyone else to see?
But most puzzling is - who would do this to Goo Hara?
The home belonged to a k-pop idol who had just died just 49 days ago.
What did they want from her safe?
And how does this connect to the Burning Sun case?

A young man calls the police around 3:30 am to report that he had just been physically assaulted by his ex-girlfriend. Officers are dispatched and the caller greets them with a few red scratches on his face. He had gone over to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment to break up with her—but that’s when she went crazy; scratching his face and twisting his arm. The officers ask the man for her name.
Goo Hara. A K-pop idol from the girl group KARA.
When the police begin investigating, the man’s story begins to fall apart. If what he’s saying is true, why is there CCTV footage of Goo Hara on her knees—seemingly begging the young man? Why did he email Dispatch, a Korean tabloid, twice during this so-called ‘one sided assault?’ And what does all of this have to do with Burning Sun?
A couple of months pass, and Goo Hara helps reporters blow the lid off the Burning Sun case.
Not even a year later, she is found dead.
This is part two of Burning Sun.

There’s this fascinating little town called ‘Little Japan.’ It’s a gated community with cookie-cutter houses, though they boast beautiful chandeliers and heated floors, and all of them have a matching set of priceless portraits hanging on their walls.
The residents are nine Japanese families, hence the name, and they have their own private chefs, maids, even chauffeurs in black Mercedes. A small movie theater, a massive sauna house, and a grocery store where they never have to pay. The catch? If they ever want to leave the community ‘gates,’ they must ask for permission from the Supreme Leader… The town itself is not even an hour outside of North Korea’s capital.
The families themselves are neither Japanese nor North Korean royalty, nor are they diplomats or even government officials either.
They’re a gang of hijackers. Hijackers who stole a plane and flew it into North Korea—and now the distinguished guests of the Kim regime were to become his secret weapon.

A church in South Carolina has gone viral recently--even making national headlines. A young pastor by the name of JP is caught on a recorded sermon saying:
“One day I’m going to preach about getting rich, strong, healthy, and finding a hot wife that loves Jesus!”
The congregation laughs awkwardly because on his left hand ring finger is a wedding band—he’s already married—but he won’t be for much longer.
Just a few weeks later, Pastor JP’s wife—14 years younger than him—is found face down, submerged in a marsh, an entire state away.
Just four days after that, the media reports that Pastor JP was drinking at a bar with a woman thought to be his mistress.
This is the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of Mica Francis Miller.

#369: Mom Hunted Down 10 Cartel Members For Killing Daughter - Real Life “Taken”
2024-06-2401:22:19
11
3 people are sitting at a table in a diner. Miriam, a middle aged woman sits stiffly, and across from her are two young men. One of them fiddles with a radio; a police scanner. He leans towards Miriam as if they’re sharing a secret across the table.
“Your daughter smoke weed or something?” She gives him a look. Radio man continues, “I mean… she’s just so relaxed. Easy to deal with which is good. I like that. That’s why I want to let her go… for a price.”
He tells Miriam that he will convince his boss to spare her daughter from a torturous death for $2k USD cash. Miriam suppresses a smile; she has to play along or else everything she’s planned will fall apart.
Her daughter Karen had been kidnapped by one of the most dangerous cartels in all of Mexico and Miriam knew that nobody gets taken by that cartel and gets out alive. She also knew that she would not stop until she took every single member out for what they had done to her family.

Somi doesn’t normally go through her husband’s things, but their house has been so cluttered, she’s going to lose her mind. From the back of their closet, she comes across old VHS tapes and a VHS player that she doesn’t recognize. Home movies, old memories? She pushes the tape in and presses play.
The screen lights up. It’s a bed and two naked bodies. Her husband… and another girl laying next to him. There are words written all over both of their bodies in thick marker, words like ‘Prince’ and ‘King.’
Then Somi sees the blood.
The girl has a long slice down her private area; she’s bleeding, trembling, completely terrified. The male—her husband’s voice—snaps at the girl, “Endure it even if it hurts.” Then he proceeds to SA her. Somi is frozen—but her mind is in overdrive—she can’t shake the feeling that she knows the girl—she can’t place a name but she recognizes the girl’s face.
It was the same one on the missing posters in town.
The girl in the video was the little, 8-year-old girl that had gone missing a year ago.

A man is laying face first, unconscious in his living room. Alyssa and Vanessa are standing over him. Alyssa reaches for the zip ties and binds his ankles together, three zip ties thick. Vanessa on the other hand is terrified. She’s screaming in her head to ‘STOP! This needs to stop! It’s taking things too far!’ But the words won’t come out; the only thing she can do is wait for a moment when Alyssa looks away—then Vanessa dives for the scissors. She cuts the zip ties off his ankles.
“NO!” Alyssa forces Vanessa aside and reties his ankles and his wrists. Vanessa lost her chance. She can only watch helplessly as Alyssa yields a massive hunting knife and sends it plunging into the man’s neck. Then she begins sawing—back and forth. They watch the blood soak into the carpet.
Police would later find the victim, Harold Sasko, and announce that his suspected killer was a 19 year old girl named Sarah.
However this episode is NOT Harold’s story. Neither Alyssa’s, nor Vanessa’s. This is the case of Sarah McLinn, diagnosed with DID, and the many, many people who believe she should be free.

I'm sorry I laughed so hard at the girl who kept folding the clothes that the paramedics gave her. 😭
weird my microwave all you have to do is press a button and it does minutes so all I have to do is 5 and it goes straight to five minutes
I'm to ask is there a reason she talks so fast? I keep checking my phone incase its set to play fast but its not.... I don't understand why?
He and his father plotted to eliminate her because she was too beautiful and talented, outshining him as a star. The DNA evidence would have implicated Suraj in the scheme.https://snapmodsapk.com
is this episode removed from YouTube channel?
He and his father conspired to get rid of her. She was too pretty and talented and was more of a star than he was. That DNA would have shown that Suraj was involved.
This case was really sad.😞
what a crazy story this one was. Why did she help a man who is not only a ra***st but also a murderer?? I think she is a psycho in disguise as well. It seems there's no other explanation than that. if not why would she make contact with a high profile criminal like him in the first place? Stephanie you're a great story-teller.🤗
I absolutely love "Rotten Mango"! The way you dive into true crime stories with such detail and sensitivity is truly remarkable.

This went global. If you hadn't heard of this world famous sarin attack you must be young. But even then, I'm pretty suprised the presenter said she'd never heard of it, it is a world famous terror attack.
I just have to say how much I love the "Rotten Mango" podcast! The storytelling is always so gripping, and the research behind each episode is incredibly thorough. The hosts have such a great way of breaking down complex cases and making them accessible and engaging. https://smartlink.ausha.co/packaging-houston/reducing-plastic-waste-alternatives-to-traditional-packaging
