Welcome back, campers. It’s another chaotic, creepy week in the woods, and we’ve got a full Camp Bulletin to prove it. From lead-laced school lunches to harrowing survival stories and a possible serial killer flying under the radar, this one’s got it all. Buckle up.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of poisoning, animal attacks, overdose, homicide, and suspected serial crimes.

In this episode, we cover:

• A horrifying case where over 200 children were exposed to dangerous levels of lead after inedible paint was used to decorate school food. Spoiler: the chef is under investigation, the kids are okay (physically), but the trauma is real.
• A Connecticut hiker saves her German shepherd, Phoenix, from the jaws of a mother bear… with nothing but a water bottle and raw determination. A GoFundMe to help cover vet bills is linked below.
• The body of a 29-year-old man was discovered wrapped in a tarp near a donation bin in Pasadena, CA. While police suspect drugs, his family says he deserves more than just a footnote.
• Six (now possibly seven) women have been found dead in suspicious circumstances across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Police say “don’t jump to conclusions,” but… we’ve got questions.
• Marine biologist Sunshine Stewart was found dead after going paddleboarding in Maine. Her death has been ruled a homicide, and details remain scarce. Her friends and family need answers—and support.
• A grieving family adopts a dog who looks exactly like their late pup… only to find out via DNA test that he’s not just similar … he’s literally the dad. Cue the waterworks.

Remember, campers: the world’s a scary place. Have courage. Stay kind (of a bitch). And get yourself a pee funnel.
