Speaker 1: media outlets around the world. But before we get into

Speaker 1: of our weekly uploads. Okay, let's get into today's stories.
0:56
Speaker 1: On the afternoon of August fifteenth, twenty twenty two, a
0:59
Speaker 1: twenty four year old beauty influencer and blogger named cherabon
1:02
Speaker 1: Ka put on her makeup in front of a mirror
1:04
Speaker 1: in her bedroom in Munich, Germany. But this was actually
1:07
Speaker 1: Cherbon's childhood bedroom. She was in the home she grew
1:10
Speaker 1: up in and looking around, I mean it looked basically
1:13
Speaker 1: exactly the way it had when she was a teenager.
1:16
Speaker 1: When she last lived here, there were still pictures of
1:18
Speaker 1: her with her high school friends taped to the walls,
1:21
Speaker 1: and there were brightly colored pillows and furniture, like it
1:24
Speaker 1: was a time capsule of when she was in high school.
1:27
Speaker 2: But now you know she's she's twenty four years old.
1:30
Speaker 1: But the reason she was back here and living in
1:32
Speaker 1: this bedroom all over again is because just a few
1:35
Speaker 1: months ago she had separated from her husband and had
1:37
Speaker 1: to move back in with her parents. And while her
1:40
Speaker 1: parents did accept her home, they were not exactly happy
1:43
Speaker 1: to have her here. So Cherybon's family belonged to a
1:46
Speaker 1: small ethnic religion called Yazidism, and one of the rules
1:50
Speaker 1: of this religion was that you absolutely cannot get divorced.
1:54
Speaker 1: And so this was a problem for Chaabon because things
1:57
Speaker 1: were not going well for her in her marriage and
1:59
Speaker 1: she i really wanted out, but both her parents and
2:03
Speaker 1: her husband's family refused to allow a divorce, and so
2:07
Speaker 1: she had just left. But in many ways that had
2:10
Speaker 1: not solved the problem because basically everybody involved here, with
2:13
Speaker 1: the exception of Charabon, was totally furious about the separation.
2:17
Speaker 1: I mean Chabon's own parents. They had agreed to take
2:21
Speaker 1: Cherabon back home, but it was on the condition that
2:24
Speaker 1: she would only be here until she and her husband
2:27
Speaker 1: fixed things, because they had to because they couldn't get divorced.
2:31
Speaker 2: But Charabon had no intention of ever going back with
2:34
Speaker 2: her husband.
2:35
Speaker 1: Really, no matter the pressure anybody applied, it was not
2:37
Speaker 1: going to happen. And this was primarily because Cherabon actually
2:41
Speaker 1: had a secret, and that was a few weeks ago.
2:45
Speaker 2: She had met someone new, a young man named.
2:48
Speaker 1: Shakir, and so when Cherabon was out at work, at
2:51
Speaker 1: least that's what she told her parents, In reality, she
2:54
Speaker 1: was actually just visiting with Shakir. And even though you know,
2:58
Speaker 1: Chabon understood that her roma with Shakir was not only
3:01
Speaker 1: sort of forbidden but also brand new, she still felt
3:05
Speaker 1: like there was something very real between them that was
3:08
Speaker 1: worth holding onto. In fact, their relationship was so good
3:11
Speaker 1: in their own eyes that the two of them had
3:14
Speaker 1: been working really hard on this plan that was going
3:17
Speaker 1: to get Chaabon out of her current predicament and away
3:20
Speaker 1: from her own family and critically away from her husband
3:23
Speaker 1: and his family.
3:24
Speaker 2: Was going to get her out of this marriage. Now,
3:27
Speaker 2: Chabon's phone.
3:28
Speaker 1: Buzzed on her makeup table, so she put down her mascara.
3:31
Speaker 1: She picked up her phone and saw she had a
3:33
Speaker 1: notification from her Instagram account, So she opened the phone up,
3:37
Speaker 1: opened up Instagram and saw she had a direct message
3:40
Speaker 1: from the person she was currently getting all made up for,
3:44
Speaker 1: who she planned on meeting that night. And meeting this
3:46
Speaker 1: person was actually the first step in Chaabon and Shakir's plan.
3:52
Speaker 2: So Schaabon felt her nerves.
3:53
Speaker 1: Buzzing as she she read the DM with excitement, and
3:56
Speaker 1: then afterwards she finished putting on her makeup. She brushed
3:59
Speaker 1: her long blacks care and then she grabbed her purse
4:02
Speaker 1: and then she headed out into the living room. Then
4:04
Speaker 1: she told her parents, who were out there, that she
4:06
Speaker 1: was heading out. She was going to Inglstadt, a city
4:09
Speaker 1: about an hour away, and that she'd be back in
4:11
Speaker 1: maybe a few hours.
4:12
Speaker 2: And so her.
4:13
Speaker 1: Parents are like, great, we'll see you then, and so
4:15
Speaker 1: Cheabon she smiled.
4:16
Speaker 2: She walked out the door, she climbed into.
4:18
Speaker 1: Her Mercedes, and she drove off. But Cherabon that night
4:24
Speaker 1: didn't come back. A few hours after she left her house,
4:27
Speaker 1: her mom began texting her asking where she was, but
4:30
Speaker 1: Cherbon didn't answer. So eventually her mom began calling her,
4:34
Speaker 1: but her phone just rang and went straight to voicemail,
4:36
Speaker 1: and she didn't call back. And by about eleven pm
4:39
Speaker 1: that night, when still Cheribon had not come home and
4:42
Speaker 1: nobody had seen or heard from her, Cherabon's mom was
4:45
Speaker 1: getting really worried. So the city where Cherabon had said
4:49
Speaker 1: she was going to, Inglishtadt was actually where her husband lived,
4:52
Speaker 1: and so Cherabon's parents had actually been secretly kind of
4:55
Speaker 1: excited that maybe they were patching things up tonight and
4:58
Speaker 1: they might be getting.
4:59
Speaker 2: Back to get the other soon.
5:00
Speaker 1: But for Cherbon to just disappear like this late at
5:03
Speaker 1: night and tell nobody was just so out of character
5:07
Speaker 1: that Cherebon's mom now couldn't help but think like, well,
5:10
Speaker 1: what if Cherabon and her husband did see each other,
5:13
Speaker 1: and what if they got into a big fight, Like
5:15
Speaker 1: what if something bad happened?
5:17
Speaker 2: She didn't know, And so for her mom, she just
5:19
Speaker 2: couldn't stand to.
5:20
Speaker 1: Just waite around and hope her daughter turned up, or
5:23
Speaker 1: hope her daughter got in touch, and so instead she
5:26
Speaker 1: told her husband to grab the car keys because they
5:28
Speaker 1: were going to Ingolstadt to find their daughter. By about midnight,
5:32
Speaker 1: Chebon's mother and father were in the car. Chebon's Davi
5:35
Speaker 1: was driving, and they were speeding through Inglstadt. They were
5:38
Speaker 1: getting close to Charabon's husband's flat, and their plan was
5:42
Speaker 1: to go knock on his door, didn't matter how late
5:44
Speaker 1: it was, and just see if Cherabon was in there,
5:47
Speaker 1: or if the husband knew where she was, just anything
5:49
Speaker 1: to help them find their daughter. However, as they turned
5:52
Speaker 1: onto a quiet street that ran alongside a river, the
5:55
Speaker 1: mom suddenly yelled.
5:57
Speaker 2: Out to her husband stop the car. Stop, and so
5:59
Speaker 2: the dad he hits the.
6:00
Speaker 1: Brakes, He pulls over and stops, and the mom leaps
6:03
Speaker 1: out and she's pointing at something and it's.
6:06
Speaker 2: Their daughter's car.
6:07
Speaker 1: It was parked right off the road, the Mercedes, right
6:09
Speaker 1: near the bank of this river. And so as the
6:11
Speaker 1: mom is running up to the car, she's telling herself that, like,
6:15
Speaker 1: here's the explanation. My daughter must have just had car troubles.
6:18
Speaker 1: That's why she's delayed, that's why she hasn't been in touch.
6:21
Speaker 1: Like here, it is like no big deal. She's gonna
6:23
Speaker 1: be in here.
6:24
Speaker 2: Everything's gonna be fine.
6:26
Speaker 1: But she runs up to the driver's side of that
6:28
Speaker 1: car and she looks in and at first she doesn't
6:31
Speaker 1: see anything.
6:31
Speaker 2: There's nobody in the front two seats of the car.
6:33
Speaker 2: It looks like no one's in there.
6:36
Speaker 1: But then she looks into the backseat of the car
6:38
Speaker 1: and she sees Chaabon and she clearly is dead. Just
6:42
Speaker 1: minutes later, this street was absolutely crawling with police officers
6:46
Speaker 1: and emergency vehicles. And not long after that, Charbon's parents,
6:50
Speaker 1: who were standing not far from their daughter's car, had
6:53
Speaker 1: to watch as police officers Pride opened the locked back
6:57
Speaker 1: door of their daughter's car, and then they reached in
7:00
Speaker 1: and they pulled out Chabon's lifeless body, and she was
7:03
Speaker 1: covered in blood and her body was also showing signs
7:06
Speaker 1: of brigor mortis, so it was.
7:07
Speaker 2: Sort of stiff, and to the parents it was just horrible.
7:10
Speaker 1: The discovery of Charabon's body immediately launched a full scale
7:14
Speaker 1: police investigation. The city of Ingolstadt was relatively small, with
7:18
Speaker 1: a population of just about eighty thousand people, and most
7:22
Speaker 1: years there actually were no murders there at all, so
7:25
Speaker 1: this was like a really big deal. When the homicide
7:27
Speaker 1: detectives showed up on the scene right away, just from
7:30
Speaker 1: looking at the body, they could tell that whoever killed
7:34
Speaker 1: Charabon had done so in sort of like a wild frenzy,
7:37
Speaker 1: because Cheribon had been stabbed more than fifty times in
7:42
Speaker 1: the torso and the face, and so to detectives, this
7:45
Speaker 1: kind of overkills suggested that whoever killed Cherabon had to
7:49
Speaker 1: have had some really personal reason to go after her.
7:53
Speaker 2: And it didn't take the lead detectives.
7:54
Speaker 1: Very long to learn from Chabon's very distraught parents that
7:58
Speaker 1: Charabon's marriage was in trouble and her estranged husband actually
8:02
Speaker 1: lived nearby, and they believed the parents that perhaps Cheribon
8:06
Speaker 1: had come here to Inglstadt to visit with him, and
8:09
Speaker 1: so he lives nearby there in the process of potentially
8:12
Speaker 1: getting divorce, and so the detectives are thinking, seems an
8:16
Speaker 1: awful lot like the husband could be involved here. Within
8:19
Speaker 1: a couple of hours, Cherabon's body had been shipped off
8:22
Speaker 1: to the medical examiner for an official autopsy, and at
8:25
Speaker 1: the same time, the lead detective on the case had
8:28
Speaker 1: gone to Chabon's estranged husband's home and hauled him down
8:31
Speaker 1: to the police station.
8:32
Speaker 2: To be interviewed.
8:32
Speaker 1: Now, the detective had figured this would be a pretty
8:35
Speaker 1: open and shutcase. He fully expected the husband to have
8:39
Speaker 1: visible injuries on him and to be acting very wired
8:41
Speaker 1: and nervous because he's the one who must have killed Cheribon. However,
8:45
Speaker 1: when the detective actually met the husband, the husband turned
8:49
Speaker 1: out to be a very weak suspect. He had cooperated
8:52
Speaker 1: immediately and fully with investigators and even offered to let
8:56
Speaker 1: them search his home and take his DNA, and he
8:59
Speaker 1: had an alibis for most of the evening before he'd
9:01
Speaker 1: gone to bed, And even though technically he didn't have
9:04
Speaker 1: anyone who could vouch for him while he had been sleeping,
9:06
Speaker 1: at least according to him, the detective doubted that just
9:10
Speaker 1: based on time, he would have been able to get up,
9:13
Speaker 1: leave his place, go kill her, dispose of the body,
9:15
Speaker 1: clean up, and then get back home again.
9:17
Speaker 2: It didn't seem possible.
9:19
Speaker 1: As for Charabon's own family, beyond the husband, they really
9:22
Speaker 1: had no other idea about who might have wanted to
9:25
Speaker 1: hurt her to their knowledge. You know, Cherabon didn't have
9:27
Speaker 1: any other romantic partners other than her estranged husband, and.
9:31
Speaker 2: She didn't socialize much outside of work.
9:34
Speaker 1: They said that really the only place where she met
9:36
Speaker 1: new people was on social media. Because she was a
9:39
Speaker 1: beauty influencer and she posted photos and videos and gave
9:42
Speaker 1: advice on fashion. So eight hours after Scherabon's body was discovered,
9:47
Speaker 1: so this is the morning of August sixteenth, the lead
9:50
Speaker 1: detective put out a release to the media asking for
9:52
Speaker 1: help from the public to identify suspects, and then he
9:55
Speaker 1: started digging into Sharabon's social media accounts. Just twenty four
9:59
Speaker 1: hours later, on the morning of August seventeenth, twenty twenty two.
10:02
Speaker 1: So now just a day and a half after Charabon
10:05
Speaker 1: was found dead inside of her car, her murder was solved,
10:08
Speaker 1: but the people involved in this murder truly shocked everyone.
10:13
Speaker 1: So Cherabon, she meets this new guy, Shakir, and she's
10:16
Speaker 1: madly in love with him, and the two of them
10:18
Speaker 1: they just want to run off and be together. But
10:21
Speaker 1: Cheabon's you know, she's married, and she can't get out
10:23
Speaker 1: of that marriage very easily. And so the two of them,
10:26
Speaker 1: Cheabon and Shakir, they're trying to think of, you know,
10:28
Speaker 1: how can we get Cheaban out of this marriage? How
10:30
Speaker 1: can we free her? And at first it was like
10:33
Speaker 1: dead end after dead end, there was like.
10:34
Speaker 2: No way out.
10:36
Speaker 1: But then they thought of something and it was very clever,
10:39
Speaker 1: but it was something that they needed help doing. It
10:42
Speaker 1: was not just in their power to pull this plan off.
10:46
Speaker 1: They needed a third person. Specifically, they needed to find
10:49
Speaker 1: another influencer, another beauty influencer, and so on the night
10:54
Speaker 1: of August fifteenth, so this is the night that ultimately
10:57
Speaker 1: Chabon is found dead inside of her car. She an
11:00
Speaker 1: influencer that was going to be perfect for this plan.
11:03
Speaker 1: Her name was Khadija and she was also a beauty influencer,
11:07
Speaker 1: and on the night of the fifteenth, that's the person
11:09
Speaker 1: that Charabon was going out to meet. That was the
11:12
Speaker 1: person she was messaging with on Instagram. And so Cherabon
11:15
Speaker 1: and also Shakir they go into Englishtat and they meet
11:18
Speaker 1: up with Khadija, but they didn't fully inform Kadija about
11:23
Speaker 1: what exactly this plan entailed. In fact, really all they
11:26
Speaker 1: told Kadija was that once we meet up with you, you know,
11:29
Speaker 1: we're beauty influencers. We have some really cool beauty products
11:33
Speaker 1: that will just give you. And Kadija's like great, and
11:35
Speaker 1: so Chabon and Shakir they drive up alongside the curb
11:39
Speaker 1: and there's Khadija, and she sees them and she's all excited.
11:41
Speaker 1: She gets inside the car, inside of Charabon's Mercedes, and
11:45
Speaker 1: once she's inside, she doesn't receive beauty products. Instead, Scharabon
11:50
Speaker 1: and Shakir pull out knives and they proceed to stab
11:53
Speaker 1: Khadija to death right there inside of the car. And
11:56
Speaker 1: then once she was dead, Charaban and Shakir drove the
11:59
Speaker 1: Mercedes right outside of Chabon's estranged husband's apartment complex. They
12:04
Speaker 1: left the car there with the body inside, and then
12:07
Speaker 1: Chabon and Shakir fled.
12:09
Speaker 2: It was all part of the plan.
12:11
Speaker 1: I mean, Kadija didn't know the plan, but it was
12:13
Speaker 1: all part of Charaban and Shakir's plan. However, there's one
12:16
Speaker 1: detail that I've left out to this point that is
12:18
Speaker 1: effectively the actual reason Charaban and Shakir were so convinced
12:23
Speaker 1: their big plan was going to work. So Cheraban didn't
12:26
Speaker 1: just need some random beauty influencer for their their plan
12:30
Speaker 1: to work out. Now, their plan was that Cherabon would
12:33
Speaker 1: find another beauty influencer that looked a lot like her,
12:37
Speaker 1: hopefully that they would kill. They'd plant their body, and
12:40
Speaker 1: then Cheribon would like take their identity.
12:43
Speaker 2: Then she and Shakir would.
12:44
Speaker 1: Run off under this new false identity and live their lives,
12:47
Speaker 1: you know, free of the marriage that Chaaban was trapped
12:50
Speaker 1: inside of.
12:51
Speaker 2: That was their plan.
12:52
Speaker 1: So they start looking for an influencer and they find
12:55
Speaker 1: Kadija and she is like an exact replica of Chaaban.
13:00
Speaker 1: They look identical, so much so that after they murdered
13:04
Speaker 1: her and planted her body inside of Chebon's car and
13:07
Speaker 1: left her there to be discovered. They had everybody fooled,
13:11
Speaker 1: including Cherabon's own parents. They saw the body and they're like, oh,
13:14
Speaker 1: that's my daughter. They believed fully it was their daughter.
13:18
Speaker 1: The plan worked, and the husband's implicated for killing Cheabon.
13:22
Speaker 1: Everything's working out. But the one person that was not
13:25
Speaker 1: fooled was ultimately the corner because when he began doing
13:30
Speaker 1: the autopsy, the body looked exactly like Chaabon's, except their
13:34
Speaker 1: teeth were different.
13:35
Speaker 2: They had different dental records.
13:37
Speaker 1: And that is the thing that showed this is not Cherbon,
13:41
Speaker 1: this is somebody else. And so at the same time
13:44
Speaker 1: that the Corner made this discovery, also all these people
13:48
Speaker 1: in englishtadt were calling the police saying, I think I
13:51
Speaker 1: just saw Cherabon.
13:52
Speaker 2: I don't think she's dead at all.
13:53
Speaker 1: I think she's at this cafe or I think she's
13:55
Speaker 1: walking down the road over here.
13:56
Speaker 2: She seems just fine.
13:58
Speaker 1: And initially police sort of just dismissed these tips as
14:01
Speaker 1: being just bad tips. But when they put it all together,
14:04
Speaker 1: and they looked at cherbons social media and her messages
14:06
Speaker 1: back and forth with Khadija, and when they saw a
14:09
Speaker 1: picture of Khadija, they put it all together and they
14:12
Speaker 1: figured it out. And so after putting all these things together,
14:15
Speaker 1: they actually went and found Cherabon, who had been spotted
14:18
Speaker 1: on security footage. They arrested her, they arrested Shakir, and
14:22
Speaker 1: then after you know, speaking to them and putting all
14:25
Speaker 1: the evidence together, they figured out that this had been
14:27
Speaker 1: their plan all along, and so both Cherabon and Shakir
14:31
Speaker 1: were ultimately found guilty of murder and sentenced to life
14:34
Speaker 1: in prison. One morning in August of nineteen eighty seven,
14:48
Speaker 1: a fifty seven year old woman named Claudia Sessi walked
14:51
Speaker 1: down the aisle of a historic.
14:53
Speaker 2: Church in Leon, France.
14:55
Speaker 1: In the back of the church, a musician was playing
14:57
Speaker 1: a very solemn hymn on a pipe organ. Right behind Claudia,
15:01
Speaker 1: four of her sons and nephews were carrying her husband's coffin.
15:04
Speaker 1: So Claudia's husband had died suddenly just a few days ago,
15:08
Speaker 1: and she still really couldn't believe he was gone. A
15:10
Speaker 1: part of her kept thinking that, like any day now,
15:12
Speaker 1: she was going to get a call from the morgue
15:14
Speaker 1: telling her there'd been a mistake and her husband had
15:16
Speaker 1: just been asleep this whole time. But as she took
15:19
Speaker 1: her seat in the front row and looked around at
15:21
Speaker 1: all the friends and the family that were gathered there,
15:23
Speaker 1: wearing black and dabbing at their eyes with handkerchiefs, she
15:27
Speaker 1: finally began to accept the truth. Eventually, the organ music
15:30
Speaker 1: dies out and the church goes totally quiet, and the
15:33
Speaker 1: priest makes his way up to the pulpit to begin
15:35
Speaker 1: the funeral mass.
15:37
Speaker 2: However, right as.
15:38
Speaker 1: He began speaking, there was this sort of muffled sound
15:41
Speaker 1: that at first it was really hard to tell what
15:43
Speaker 1: it was, but it was loud enough that it stopped
15:46
Speaker 1: the priest from speaking. He stopped what he was doing
15:49
Speaker 1: and sort of looked around, and then people began to
15:51
Speaker 1: gasp in the church because the sound, this muffled sound
15:55
Speaker 1: it was coming from inside the casket, and so Claudia
15:59
Speaker 1: and she realized that she's shot up to her feet
16:01
Speaker 1: and she's she's staring at the casket, and everyone's like,
16:03
Speaker 1: what's going on. And then people began to scream because
16:07
Speaker 1: suddenly they realize what the sound was. It was a voice,
16:10
Speaker 1: and it was muffled because it was coming from inside
16:13
Speaker 1: the casket. And the voice, which was a man's voice,
16:16
Speaker 1: was saying, let me out of here. And so the
16:19
Speaker 1: priest he's overlooking this scene of absolute chaos. He's seeing
16:23
Speaker 1: everybody's screaming.
16:24
Speaker 2: And running around. Nobody knows what to make of this.
16:26
Speaker 2: He's terrified.
16:27
Speaker 1: He's presided over hundreds of funerals before, he's never ever
16:31
Speaker 1: heard of somebody waking up in the middle of their funeral.
16:34
Speaker 1: And he's looking over at Claudia, the widow, and at
16:37
Speaker 1: first she seems so happy, like scared, terrified, but happy
16:41
Speaker 1: like her.
16:41
Speaker 2: Husband is back.
16:42
Speaker 1: And she begins to run towards the coffin, but she
16:46
Speaker 1: only makes it a few steps before she grabs at
16:48
Speaker 1: her chest and she collapses to the ground. And this
16:51
Speaker 1: seemed to snap the priest out of his sort of
16:53
Speaker 1: his shocked days. Here and he ran down to Claudia,
16:57
Speaker 1: and other people were running over to Claudia, and the
16:59
Speaker 1: priest began yelling for someone to call an ambulance, and
17:02
Speaker 1: then he rushed over to the coffin, expecting to find
17:05
Speaker 1: that Claudia's husband was somehow still alive, you know, when
17:08
Speaker 1: he was going to open it up and free him.
17:11
Speaker 1: But when he opened up the coffin, the husband was
17:15
Speaker 1: obviously dead.
17:16
Speaker 2: There's no way he just yelled, let me out of here.
17:19
Speaker 2: Not possible. He was definitely dead.
17:21
Speaker 1: So at first this was just like a terrifying scandal
17:25
Speaker 1: that was sort of localized. But after police investigated and
17:28
Speaker 1: figured out what actually happened inside of that church, this
17:32
Speaker 1: story blew up and ricocheted all around the world, because
17:36
Speaker 1: truly it is unbelievable what happened inside of the church
17:39
Speaker 1: on that day. It would turn out there was a
17:42
Speaker 1: man in attendance that day at the funeral who was
17:45
Speaker 1: both one of Claudia's husband's friends, so he was there,
17:47
Speaker 1: you know, grieving the loss of his friend, and he
17:50
Speaker 1: was also a ventriloquist, somebody who's able to throw their voice,
17:54
Speaker 1: and he thought it would cheer everyone up if he
17:57
Speaker 1: threw his voice and made it sound like the dead man.
18:01
Speaker 2: His buddy was crying, you know, let me out of
18:03
Speaker 2: here from inside the coffin.
18:05
Speaker 1: It was meant to lighten the mood, but the prank
18:08
Speaker 1: worked so well that people thought it was real, and
18:11
Speaker 1: Claudia literally thought it was her husband coming back to life,
18:14
Speaker 1: and she was so overwhelmed as she ran to her husband.
18:18
Speaker 2: That she had a heart attack and died.
18:21
Speaker 1: Now the friend the ventriloquist immediately took responsibility and felt horrible.
18:26
Speaker 1: He felt like he basically killed Claudia, but despite that,
18:30
Speaker 1: police never charged him with any crime because ventriloquism is
18:34
Speaker 1: not illegal. On the morning of March eighteenth, nineteen sixty three,
18:52
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old girl named Eileen Welch was chatting
18:55
Speaker 1: with her friends outside of her high school in Yorkshire, England.
18:58
Speaker 1: It was a few minutes before first period and there
19:00
Speaker 1: were dozens of other students smelling around outside the school
19:03
Speaker 1: waiting for the bell to ring. Eileen was holding an
19:06
Speaker 1: armful of books and telling her friends about what she
19:08
Speaker 1: had done over the weekend when suddenly she began to scream.
19:13
Speaker 1: At that same exact moment, Eileen's friend, who had been
19:16
Speaker 1: standing with her, just a moment ago watched as Eileen
19:20
Speaker 1: just began to rise into the air. There was nothing
19:24
Speaker 1: around her lifting her up. She just began inexplicably raising
19:27
Speaker 1: into the air, like thirty feet into the air, and
19:29
Speaker 1: she's screaming, and like this friend, she's looking up at her,
19:32
Speaker 1: and all around her, all the other students, they're looking
19:35
Speaker 1: up at Eileen, just being suspended in air by some
19:38
Speaker 1: phantom force. And Eileen, she's screaming, she's screaming, and then
19:42
Speaker 1: suddenly she comes careening down and slams into the ground
19:46
Speaker 1: so hard.
19:47
Speaker 2: Then everybody's just.
19:48
Speaker 1: Screaming like mad, and someone began running towards the school,
19:52
Speaker 1: yelling for someone to call an ambulance. Eileen was rushed
19:56
Speaker 1: to the hospital, clearly in agonizing pain, with you multiple
20:00
Speaker 1: broken bones, severe internal injuries, and the first responders and
20:04
Speaker 1: the doctors at the hospital and the medical staff, I mean,
20:07
Speaker 1: they did everything they could to save her. But just
20:09
Speaker 1: two hours after she smashed into the ground from you know,
20:13
Speaker 1: falling from thirty feet in the air.
20:14
Speaker 2: Somehow she died.
20:17
Speaker 1: When police went back to the school to begin their
20:19
Speaker 1: investigation into what happened, I mean, detectives literally could not
20:24
Speaker 1: believe the dozens of eyewitness accounts. The detectives questioned thirty
20:30
Speaker 1: seven students and teachers who were all outside that day
20:33
Speaker 1: that watched what happened to Eileen, and all of them
20:36
Speaker 1: told the same story that Eileen, out of nowhere, just
20:40
Speaker 1: suddenly rose into the air like thirty feet and she
20:44
Speaker 1: held up there for a second and then came smashing down. Now,
20:48
Speaker 1: at first, the police just didn't believe the stories they
20:50
Speaker 1: were being told. They're thinking, there's there's got to be
20:52
Speaker 1: more to this story. People don't just raise into the
20:55
Speaker 1: air and smash back down again, that doesn't happen. But
20:58
Speaker 1: when all these accounts were the same, and they all
21:01
Speaker 1: had the same amount of conviction behind them that these
21:04
Speaker 1: people they saw this, the police realized, like, this is
21:08
Speaker 1: apparently what happened. And so they began to assume that
21:10
Speaker 1: the only way this could have happened is that this
21:13
Speaker 1: was some product of a bizarre weather phenomenon or something
21:16
Speaker 1: like a mini tornado like lifted or into the air
21:19
Speaker 1: or something. So they actually brought in several meteorologists into
21:23
Speaker 1: this investigation. But the meteorologists concluded that what everyone claimed
21:27
Speaker 1: to have witnessed was basically scientifically impossible.
21:31
Speaker 2: Because in order for the.
21:32
Speaker 1: Wind to pick someone up the way they described Eileen
21:35
Speaker 1: being picked up, the winds would need to be blowing
21:37
Speaker 1: at at least one hundred and ten miles per hour,
21:41
Speaker 1: and there were no winds of anywhere near that speed
21:44
Speaker 1: reported anywhere in England that morning. And even if there
21:48
Speaker 1: had been like a sudden gust of wind that was
21:51
Speaker 1: able to lift Eileen up, the reason that still couldn't
21:55
Speaker 1: have happened the way it was described is Eileen was
21:58
Speaker 1: near other people in hs proximity. There's no way that
22:01
Speaker 1: she would be the only one affected. Other people would
22:04
Speaker 1: have been blown into the sky, but nobody was. It
22:07
Speaker 1: was just Eileen. To this day, none of the thirty
22:11
Speaker 1: seven witnesses have changed their stories, and there has never
22:14
Speaker 1: been a scientific explanation for what happened to Eileen, and
22:17
Speaker 1: so the cause of her death to this day remains
22:20
Speaker 1: a mystery. Thank you so much for watching. Let me
22:28
