• 0:29
  Speaker 1: into today's stories. Late on the night of Friday, September eighteenth,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, a forty five year old man named Lotty
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Barman stumbled down a pitch black street in a small
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: village in central India. The tory was stumbling because he
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was very, very drunk. He and his wife had spent
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: most of the night together out at this local fair,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: having loads to drink and partying, and then at some
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: point his wife had actually broken off and gone to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: her parents' house in another village, but Lotty had decided
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to stay out and keep the fun rolling. And so
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: once she was gone, Lottori had gone to a liquor
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: store and had more to drink there, and then now
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: he had finally decided he had had enough. He was
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: extremely intoxicated and he just wanted to get back home.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And so as the Tory stumbled down this road, he
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: could really only see maybe a foot in front of him,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not only because he was so drunk, but also because
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the streets in his village did not have lights and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so it was totally dark. However, this wasn't unusual for Lotty.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is where he lived. He had walked
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the street many many times and knew how to navigate
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: without any lighting, and so he just continued walking along,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you know, business as usual. But what did strike him
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: as odd is that, you know, late at night here
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: as he's making his way home, he thought it was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: weird that there was a lot of people out on
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the road. He couldn't really see them because again there's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: no lighting, but he could definitely hear them, like there
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was people sort of all over the place. And he
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: also sort of in his intoxicated state, saw some lights
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that you know, maybe were vehicles sort of moving around
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so there was like more activity on this road than usual,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, like this is a main
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: road and sometimes there's lots of people in cars on it,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: even late at night. So this didn't really strike him
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: as odd enough to stop and investigate. He just kept
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on walking towards his house. But as he's walking through
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with all this commotional around him, at some point he
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: goes to step, but instead of his foot striking the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: ground again, there's nothing there, and suddenly he feels himself
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: falling and he smashes into the ground, and now truly
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's pitch black. He can't see anything, and he blacks out.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: The following morning, a group of villagers were walking down
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the same street that Littori had been on the night before,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and as they were walking, now in broad daylight, they
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: looked up ahead and they noticed something odd right in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the middle of the street, And at first they had
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: no idea what it was, and so they walked closer
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to it to get a better look. And as they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: walked up on this thing, they instantly understood what it was,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and they screamed and ran to tell authorities. It would
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: turn out the reason Littori was hearing and seeing all
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: these people and you know, vehicles on the street the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: night before, which seems sort of out of place, was
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: because there was actually a construction crew repairing potholes in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that road. This road was known for being very dangerous
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: because of these deep potholes, and Littori, as he was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: stumbling along, accidentally fell into one of these deep potholes,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: smashed the ground and was knocked unconscious. And because this
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: work site was so chaotic and there was all this
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you know, movement, and there was bad lighting, you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: none of the crew saw Littori fall in, and Littori,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: even after you know, coming to inside the hole, was
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: too drunk to get out of the hole. And so
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: at some point that night the construction crew reached the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: pothole that Littori was in, they didn't see him, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they poured molten tar into the hole and then rolled
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: over it with a roller, all with Littori inside the hole.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And so after they were done and moved on to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the next pothole, Littori, in his final moments, tried to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: kind of pull himself out of this tar, but he
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: only managed to get his hand up and out of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the tar. And so the next day, the group of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: villagers that walked down the road. What did they see?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They saw Littori's hand poking out of the ground. Lottori's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: body was removed from the street and he was given
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a proper burial. There were two construction workers who were
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on duty on the night of Ltori's death who were
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ultimately arrested and charged with culpable homicide. As for Latori's family,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: authorities would give them a compensation payment for Latori's death,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but it was only worth approximately seven hundred and sixty
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: US dollars. Last year, we launched a brand new podcast
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: here at Ballin Studios called Redacted Declassified Mysteries with Luke
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Lamana and so far you guys have and in case
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you haven't heard, we also launched a YouTube channel for Redacted,

• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in the description below. Wondery Plus subscribers can also watch
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: redacted on the Wondery app. Okay, back to the stories.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Around two thirty pm on November twenty eighth, twenty fifteen,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a man pulled into his driveway in the extremely rural
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: city of here On, California. He had been away overnight,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and so as soon as he got out of his car,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: he walked right up to his porch and checked his
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: doorknob to make sure his door was still locked. He
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: found that it was, which was a relief. Then he
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: unlocked it and stepped inside. However, as soon as he
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: was inside his house, he just stopped and listened and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: kind of looked around. So this neighborhood that he lived
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in was not a safe place to live. In fact,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: over the past year, this guy's house had been broken
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: into multiple times. However, he had not reported any of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: these break ins to the police because he himself was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wanted for felony drug possession, and so instead of getting
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the police involved, the man had sort of begun doing
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: his own home security. Basically, every time he came home,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: he would sort of take a minute, listen, make sure
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: nobody was in the house, and then actually sweep the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: house to make sure, you know, nobody was there and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that nothing had been stolen. And so as the man
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: stood there in his doorway listening, you couldn't hear anything,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and nothing looked disturbed inside of his house. So he
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: flipped on the lights. He walked into his living room
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and put his keys and his wallet down, and then
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he began doing this kind of systematic sweep through his house,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know, checking to make sure there was nothing wrong,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: checked the windows, none were broken. Goes to the back door,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it's still locked. You know. He's in his kitchen, he's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in you know, his dining room. There's nothing out of place.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He did notice, however, that his mail that was sitting
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: on one of his tables looked like maybe it had
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: been rummaged through. But at the same time, he couldn't
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: remember if maybe he had been kind of sloppy when
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he had gone over his mail before he had left
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the night before, so he didn't know if the mail
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was a sign of a break in, but it didn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: seem like it. And so, after completing his sweep and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: feeling confident that the house was in good order. He
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sat down and he relaxed, and he felt like, you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: know what, it had been a while since the last
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: break in, and maybe he was being a bit too paranoid,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: but for now, he decided, you know, his security protocol
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was good enough and he wouldn't make any changes quite yet,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and he just picked up the remote, turned on the TV,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and settled in for the night. However, after only a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes, the man realized his house was pretty
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: cold and he was starting to shiver, so he stood up,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and he walked over and he turned on his heat
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and then he sat back down on his couch, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: then about a minute later, this awful, high pitched scream
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ripped through the house. It would turn out the homeowner's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: paranoid around break ins was totally justified, because the night before,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: while he was gone, someone had tried to break into
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: his home. Nineteen year old Cody Caledwell had snuck onto
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the roof and attempted to enter this man's house through
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the chimney, but he got stuck about halfway down. And
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: when the man came home and did his safety patrol
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and checked his house and couldn't hear or see anything.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: What he didn't realize was Cody was still absolutely stuck
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in the chimney and alive. He just wasn't making any sound.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And then when the homeowner got cold and turned on
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the heat, what he literally did was he started an
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: actual fire in his fireplace. And after setting this fire, Cody,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: who's wedged in the chimney right above this fire, began
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: breathing in the smoke, and in his panic, he began
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to wiggle around and sink further and further down into
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: this chimney, which is angled, and so he would have
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: gotten more and more stuck until he was basically in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the fire and then caught on fire. The scream was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: him burning alive inside at the chimney, and the man
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: who owned the house had no idea what was going on.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: He just heard these screams. And then finally when he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: got the fire put out and he called the police
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and the first responders showed up, it was already too late,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: because Cody had died from severe burns and smoke in elation.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: On the evening of January nineteenth, twenty twenty two, a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: forty year old mother named Anna Uskova set up a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: camera and some lights at the edge of a clearing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in the woods in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Then she focused
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the camera on the spot in the clearing where she,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: her husband, and her children were about to perform a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: very important religious ceremony. So to set the scene here,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: it was late at night, so it's dark, it was snowing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's totally freezing. This is the dead of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: winter out in the middle of Russia. I mean, this
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: is a cold environment. But this is when this ceremony
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: was done in the dead of winter all over Russia.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: This was not just something Anna's family was doing. This
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is like a Russian thing. On this day, all over
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the country, people would perform this sort of purification ritual
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that was designed to revitalize their bodies and souls and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: help them ward off evil spirits for the new year. Now. Typically,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Anna and her family would perform this big ceremony in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a group setting with their church, but this year Anna
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: decided she wanted to hold this ceremony privately, with just
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: her family, kind of out in the woods by themselves.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It would be more intimate and the kids would feel
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a bit more involved than they normally did. And so
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: far it was going great, they had found the perfect location.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It was stunningly beautiful. I mean, it really felt like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the best place to perform this ceremony. But it was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: kind of odd that when they got there there was
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: no other families there. I mean, they had this place
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to themselves, which was just crazy. But they thought, great,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this is even better for us. This is going to
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: be the perfect ceremony. While Anna husband finished prepping everything
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: they would need, Anna hip record on the camera and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: then Anna walked out from behind the camera and you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: see her come in to frame and she walks over
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to her kids. And now her kids are going to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: be performing this ritual the same way Anna and her
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: husband would be. And it's clear they're pretty nervous now
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they've done this before, but still like this ritual is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: not very comfortable. It doesn't feel very good at least
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: in the moment. And so Anna knew this, and so
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: she knelt down with her kids and she kind of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: reassured them that they were brave, they were courageous, they
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: could do this, and she was going to go first,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and they could see that. You know, once mom did it,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they would know that they could do it too. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: so at some point after kind of giving her kids
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a pep talk. Anna stood up, she walked over to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the area that was designated for this ceremony, and then
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: as the camera's rolling, she stood there, she drew a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: cross on her chest. Then she stepped forward and kind
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of jumped feet first and then disappeared. One second passed
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: with no sign of Anna, and that was okay, But
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: then two seconds past and there was still no sign
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of Anna, and then three seconds passed and still no Anna,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and at that point her husband and her kids began
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to scream. So what Anna and her family didn't understand,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: or at a minimum, just did not fully appreciate, was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that when they did this ceremony with their church every year,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the church took a lot of effort to make sure
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the location they chose for the ceremony that it was
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: totally safe, and on top of that, they often had
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: medical personnel on standby just in case. But Anna and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: her family had not done either of those things. The
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: location they chose was no doubt stunningly beautiful, but the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: reason it was deserted is it was a terrible spot
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: for this ceremony. And then also they didn't have any
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: medical personnel on standby The ceremony that Anna and her
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: family were taking part in is known as the Russian
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Orthodox Epiphany, and it's a type of baptism. Basically, people
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: all over Russia at this time of the year will
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: carve a cross shaped hole in the ice over a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: body of water, and then one by one they'll jump
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: into the water and then emerge again baptized, purified. And
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: so Anna and her family had done that, They had
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: carved the cross in this frozen body of water. But
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the reason this spot was a terrible spot to do
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: this ceremony and why it was totally deserted, is because
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: they had chosen a raging river that yes, it's frozen,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: but underneath that river is still flowing and it's a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: very deep river. And so the second Anna stepped into
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the water feet first, she got swept away, but they
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: didn't have a way for her to re emerge. It's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: all frozen ice, and so the second she went under
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: into the pitch black water, she was gone. And within
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a couple of seconds, you know, her family is expecting
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: her to come back up again, but of course she didn't,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and so they began screaming, and Anna's husband actually leapt
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: into the water, but he actually stopped himself really quickly
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: because he felt that current pulling him, and so he
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: got out and very quickly. You know, his search was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: launched for Annah, but there was no hope. They couldn't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: find her, and in fact, to this day, they still
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: have not recovered her body. In case you haven't heard yet,
