• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into today's stories.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: On the afternoon of October eleventh, twenty sixteen, a middle
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: aged man named Carlos Herrera Senior entered the visitation area
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of a prison in Venezuela. The room itself sort of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: looked like a high school cafeteria with tables and chairs
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: everywhere for the inmates and their visitors to sit down
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and have their meetings. And right in front of one
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was one table where there was this bedraggled looking prisoner
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: who he was there to meet. As one got closer
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to this sky, he could see he really looked terrible,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the inmate. I mean, his cheekbones were sticking out, he
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: was sort of emaciated, he was bloodied and bruised, he
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: had bandages on his arm. And also as one moved
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: towards the sky, he could clearly see all the guards
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that line the walls and the exits of this visitation
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: area sort of squirm with discomfort, you know, as this
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: meeting is about to take place.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And one had a good idea why these guards might
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: be anxious.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And that's because over the past month, this prison had
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: been on lockdown because a gang inside the prison had
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: risen up and overpowered the guards and completely taken over
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for this entire month. And just to be clear, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: mean during this month, people died as a result of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this takeover. I mean, this was a horrible month for
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this prison. And it was only over the past couple
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of days that the guards were finally able to take
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: back control. And one knew all this not only because
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this riot was all over the news while it was
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: going on, but also because his own son, one junior,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was serving time in this prison for robbery.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: He had been for the past year. However, One Senior.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Was not coming to visit his son right now. Instead,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: he was coming to visit a different prisoner because during
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this riot, one junior had just disappeared, and one senior,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: when he had found out about that, had called prison officials,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: other people, politicians, you name it, to try to figure
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: out where his son went, but nobody seemed to know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And so finally he had found this one prisoner, the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: guy he was meeting today, this beaten down looking guy,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: who had agreed to come forward and tell one senior
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: what he knew about what happened to one junior. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: so One sat down at this table with this prisoner,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and after the two of them introduced themselves very quickly,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: one senior said, please, like, tell me what happened to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: my son where is he? But this prisoner he was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: talking to didn't immediately get into sort of a clear
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: story about one junior. This guy began talking about a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: totally separate prisoner, a man named Doron Hell Vargas. Vargas
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was notorious across Venezuela for a series of brutal murders
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he committed that ultimately put him in this prison, And
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: during this recent riot at this prison, it was Vargas
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and his gang that rose up and took over. Like
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Vargas was in charge effectively of the riot. And so
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: even though he was terrorizing people and brutalizing people and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: was very much responsible for the deaths of multiple inmates,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he also at the same time did have to make
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: sure that, you know, the people he was in charge of,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: albeit illegally, had enough food, they had enough supplies, that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they had the things they needed to survive, and so
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: again he sort of like dictatorial and all, but also
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know, ensuring people.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Have basic resources.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And so one senior is listening to this man sort
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of lay this out about Vargas and sort of how
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he was in control during this riot, and one senior
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is like, I just don't get it. Why are you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: explaining the nuances of what he was doing during the riot,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And this prisoner very quickly pointed to the bandage on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: his arm and kind of pointed at all of his
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: injuries that were very obvious, and he told one senior
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that if anybody got in the way of Vargas while
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he was in charge during this riot, they were basically
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: beaten to within an inch of their lives. And again
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in some cases people were killed. I mean, this was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a brutal regime. And so one senior was like, oh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: my goodness, is that what happened to my son?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Was he beaten like you by Vargas.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But at that point the prisoner just shook his head
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and said no. And then he looked down and almost
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: like couldn't make eye contact with one senior, and he
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just said, what happened to your son was much worse.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: The prisoner would tell one senior that at some point
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: during the riot, his son, one junior, was tapped by
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Vargas to help with something. Now it's not clear if
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Junior went willingly or he was coerced, but we know that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Basically everybody had to do what Vargas.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Asked them to do, otherwise they would be beaten or
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: even killed. And so ultimately Junior agrees to help Vargus,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and the thing he was tapped to help Vargus with
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was distributing food to the inmates, because remember, despite how
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: brutal Vargas was, he was in charge of providing basic
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: necessities to all the inmates. And because of this riot,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the prison had been locked down and so food supplies
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: had been restricted, and so inmates are beginning to starve.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: There's this big food shortage, and so Junior was told like, hey,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you need to help us provide food to these inmates.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So Junior basically agreed to do it, at which.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Point he was informed exactly what role he was playing
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in finding food. Instead of going out and looking for this.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Food, Junior was the food.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Vargus and his gang corner Junior beat him to death,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: butchered his body and then literally fed him to the inmates.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: What happened to one son? After hearing this horrific story,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: one Senior was destroyed and one of the first things
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: he did is he went public and had this big
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: press conference to tell the world about what happened to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his son. But despite there being many eyewitness accounts, ultimately
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the Venezuelan government denied the cannibalism and nobody was ever
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: held accountable. Deron hel Vargas remains incarcerated and he's never
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: been charged with any crimes connected to Junior's disappearance. Okay,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: as promised, here is today's special announcement.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: As of right now, we.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Have a brand new show, a history podcast.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: But wait, it's not like a boring history show.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: This is not like you know when you were in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: school and you had to sit through lectures about something
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that happened hundreds thousands of years ago.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It's not that we're gonna.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Pull from history, but we're gonna tell the true stories
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: behind moments in history.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: We're gonna give you story that feel like.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Mister Ball and stories with plot twists and crazy point
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of views. It's going to be classic ball and storytelling.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But again, historical is the context here. Let me give
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you an example. So if you look back and try
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to identify the first time true crime sort of became
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a thing that the public was suddenly interested in a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: case that really had nothing to do with them, just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: because it was entertaining. That case would be about this
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: murderer who escaped, and that's kind of all that's available
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: if you look it up.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Bob Yeap escaped murder. That's when true crime became a thing.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But did you know that that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Case the escaped murderer was way more compelling and exciting
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: than most people give it credit for. People were interested
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: at the time because there was this crazy transatlantic boat
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: chase and there was this crazy hunt for the killer,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and the killing itself was so grizzly, and that story
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: really doesn't get told much. It's just kind of a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: statistic in a history book. And so what this podcast
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: does is it finds cases like that and actually shows
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you why history is so cool and so interesting. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that's just episode one. So this new history podcast is
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: called a Twist of History and it's live right now.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So go to any platform where you get your podcasts
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and look up a Twist of History or just search
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: for ball In Studios and you can find it that way.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: You know, follow the show and tune in each week,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and if you really want to give us a five
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: star review, the show is totally free. New episodes every Wednesday.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Oh and one more thing, be sure to stick around
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: till the end of today's YouTube video for a sneak
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: peek of episode one. At around eight pm on August nineteenth,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, a twelve year old boy named Bremundo
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Marfa de Silva sat near the fireplace in the main
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: room of a shack in rural Brazil. Raymundo lived in
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the shack with his father, Rivelino, as well as his
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: two younger brothers, who were fast asleep in their beds
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: inside of this main room him only a few feet away.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Raymundo and his family were very, very poor. I mean,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the shack was very small. It was only composed of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: two rooms, the main room he was in right now,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and also the kitchen, which was connected by a single door.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And they were truly like out in the middle of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: nowhere in Brazil. They had no electricity, basically no money.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, they really had almost nothing. And so that night,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: as Raymundo sat by the fire just kind of quiet,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you know, there wasn't really much else to do here,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: his father, Rivelino, came into the room from the kitchen
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and he sat down next to him, and the two
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: just sat there quietly, you know, periodically poking at the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: fire with a stick and just sitting there and enjoying
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the silence, doing their best not to wake up the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: two younger brothers. And as these two were sitting there,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: suddenly Raymundo heard a strange sound coming from the kitchen,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and so he turned his attention and he looked into
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the dark kitchen and he saw this dark figure on
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: all fours, quickly kind of maneuvering across the ground out
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of sight. And immediately Raymundo's terrified. He has no idea
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: what this is, and so instinctively turns to his dad,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and his dad is also staring at the kitchen, wide eyed,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: clearly having seen the same thing. And then before Raymundo
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: could do anything, his dad jumped up and slammed.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: The door shut, separating them from the kitchen, and locked it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And at that point, the two younger brothers they've woken up,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and all four of them were looking at each other
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: like what's going on? And Raymundo he says to his dad,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: what was that? Now it was clear that Revellino was
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: very unsettled by whatever this was.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't have pets.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: There was no other people inside of their shack, like
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: there shouldn't be anything alive inside of the shack beyond them.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So he doesn't know what it is. He's scared, but
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: he tells his boys it's okay, you know, it's all right.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what that is, but let's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: just stay here.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: We're safe. The door is locked, you know, we're all here,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: we're safe.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And so the boys they all just kind of trusted
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: their dad and everybody just kind of hunkered down together
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and just sat there quietly, kind of waiting to see
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: if they would hear anything else.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And for a little.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: While they heard nothing. There were no more sounds coming
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: from the kitchen. But eventually Revellino and his sons and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to hear voices, and they were coming from outside the shack.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And at first they couldn't really tell what these voices
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: were saying.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: They were kind of garbled, but eventually they all began
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to hear.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The same thing.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Whoever was out there or whatever was out there, was
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: talking about Revealino specifically. They could hear that name, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what they were kind of saying is, if Revellino comes
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: out here, we're going to kill it. And the moment
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that all the boys sort of picked up the fact
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that somebody's out there and they're threatening to harm Revealino,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: they're all like, Dad, what do we do?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: What do we do?
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And Revealino, I mean, he's hearing this too, but he
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: tells his boys it's okay. You know, I don't know
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: what's going on out there, but clearly somebody is playing
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a cruel joke on us.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: This is this is a prank. This can't be real.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And so Revealino told his sons their plan is, they're
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: just gonna stay put. They're in this room, they're safe,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the door is locked. We're gonna wait until the sun
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: comes up, and then we'll figure out who did this, who's.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Playing this prank on us.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And so sure enough, Revealino and his sons would stay
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: in their room, barely sleeping all the way until six am,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: when the sun began to come up again. And at
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that point, Revealino told his sons to stay put and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he was going to go out there and investigate, you know.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And by this point, they had stopped hearing voices, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: there were no more sounds coming from the kitchen. It's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: sort of felt like whatever that was, whoever that was,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: had passed. And so, you know, the tension is gone,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and the boys are like, okay, you know, be careful
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: out their dad.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And so Revealino he walks over to the door that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: leads into the kitchen.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He unlocks it, opens it up, and Raymundo, you know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he's craning his neck looking into the kitchen, but you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he can't see anything moving around in there, even with
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the light coming in. And so Revealino he says, okay, boys,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: stay here, and then Revealino goes out into the kitchen
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and shuts the door behind him. And while he's out there,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Raymundo and his brothers they're all listening anxiously, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: making sure their dad's not in trouble. But they just
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hear the sound of their dad just clearly walking around
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the kitchen.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: There's no commotion, there's nothing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And then a couple of minutes later, Revealino comes back
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: into the main room where the boys are and he's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: got a knife in hand, but he tells him, you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: know it's okay. You know, I got this from the kitchen.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm just just in case there's nothing out here. I'm
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: now going to go outside and just make sure nobody's
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: outside the hut. Okay, so again, stay put, I'll be
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: right back. And so again the boys, they're looking at
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: their dad like, okay, we'll see you soon. Revellino walked
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: out again into the kitchen. He shut the door behind him,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and then the boys heard the sound of the door
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that led outside open up, and then presumably Revellino went outside,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and that was the last time the boys ever spoke
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to their father. Six months later, on March tenth, nineteen
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: sixty three, five men were out hunting in the wilderness
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: not far from Ramundo's family shack, and at some point
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: they came across this huge boulder, and this boulder had
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a big crevice in it, like a big gap in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: this rock. And one of the hunters happened to walk
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: past it and looked into this crevice and they found
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a skeleton, and that skeleton belonged to Rivelino, Raymundo's father.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: But that was not the end of the story, far
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: from it. So on the day that Revealino stepped out
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the front door and then was never heard from again.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Raymundo and his brothers had been instructed by their dad
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to stay put while Ribelino went out looking around. But
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Raymundo just felt really nervous after his dad had stepped
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: out the front door and had presumably stepped outside, so
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: he defied his father. He opened up the door that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: led to the kitchen, and as soon as he did,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: he looked towards the door that led outside and he
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: saw it was wide open, and he saw his dad
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: stepping into this huge cloud of yellow smoke, and amidst
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: this smoke were these like cylindrical objects that were floating
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: in the air, spinning around in a circle, seemingly spitting
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: out the smoke. And Raymundo he had no idea what
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: he was looking at, but he saw his dad just
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: kind of walking into this cloud, and then the smoke
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: cut so bad it totally obscured his dad. His dad
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: was gone, and so Raymundo yelled out for his dad, like, Dad,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: where are you going? And he charged towards his father
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to try to stop him. He just felt like, you
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: can't go out there. But as soon as Raymundo went
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: out into the yellow smoke, the smoke just dissipated, the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: cylind disappeared, and as soon as it was all gone,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: his dad was gone too. Raymundo sprinted around his house,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: calling out for his dad, looking everywhere.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But there was no sign of him.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And so quickly Raymundo and his brothers alerted authorities and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they launched the search for him. And for days they
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: combed the area near that boulder as well, and they
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: couldn't find Revellino, and so eventually they abandoned the search,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and then six months later his body was magically found
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in that crevice. To this day, nobody knows what actually
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: happened to Revellino and how he wound up inside of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: that rock crevice. Also, people have no idea what that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: dark figure was skittering across their kitchen floor the night
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: before Revelino went missing, or who those voices were threatening
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to kill Rivellino, or the objects that Raymundo apparently saw
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: floating in the sky spitting out yellow smoke. Nobody has
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: any idea what any of that stuff is. All we
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: know is Revellino disappeared and six months later turned up
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: dead at crevice. On the afternoon of June first, twenty eighteen,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: thirty six year old Luis Garcia headed into Mexico City
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to meet up with his older brother. The two of
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: them were very close. They had been through a lot together.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: When Louise was fourteen years old and his older brother
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was fifteen, their parents had gone through a really messy
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: divorce and during it, their father had just walked out
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: on them and they never saw him again. And shortly
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: after that their mother remarried and her new husband moved
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: in with the family, and shortly after that, their mother
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: just vanished. And the boys they asked their stepfather, like,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: where is she, where's she gone? But the stepdad would say,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. She went out on an errand and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: she never came back. And the boys, I mean, they
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: were very suspicious of their stepfather because this did not
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: feel like something their mom would do, like she would
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: not abandon them. But just a couple of days after
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: their mom disappeared, their stepfather disappeared too, and so all
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, these teenage boys are just left defend
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: for themselves.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: The boys would contact police and specifically they said like, hey,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: we think something happened to our mom. We think maybe
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: our stepdad had something to do with it, but everybody's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: abandoned us. And the police would launch an investigation and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they would go looking for their mother, but they couldn't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: find her, and they couldn't find the stepfather or the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: biological father. And so after the police wound down their investigation,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the two boys again, they've been orphaned now and they
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: know learned to fend for themselves, but they never stopped
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: looking for their mom. For nearly two decades, they continued
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to search Mexico City for their mother, and they just
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: could never get any sort of closure. They really didn't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: know what happened to her. And so today the two
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: brothers had met up, not to go looking for their mom,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: but instead to meet at their childhood home. So after
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: their mother and stepfather and their biological father had abandoned them,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the two boys had lived in the childhood home on
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: their own, you know, fending for themselves. They had grown
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: up there, and then eventually, when they were old enough,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they had moved out and started their own adult lives
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: on their own. But they had never sold the house.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: They had just kind of kept it in their possession
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and let it sit there. But now they were going
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: back to you know, go through and sort of clean
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it up and you know, decide if they wanted to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: do some renovations and just kind of fix the place up, you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Know, maybe to sell it. They didn't know. And so
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the two brothers they met up at the home. They'd
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: go inside and you.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Know, there's still photos on the wall, you know, old
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: family photos, and there's you know, all these memories that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: come rushing back, many of which are very sad and troubling,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: but you know, like the brothers are having a good time,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: just kind of going down memory lane, and at some
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: point they decide, Okay, you know what, not only are
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: we going to clean this place out, but also there's
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: some basic renovations that really need to happen here, Like
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the place has been sitting here for years, it's sort
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of fallen into disrepair.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Let's let's fix this place up.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And so over the next couple of days they would
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: call in some contractors to begin to do some basic
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: renovations in the house, while the brothers continued to clean
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it up and pack things up and sort of get
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: it ready for whatever it was going to be. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: on one particular day, when a group of contents were
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: working in the master bedroom, the brothers were in the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: living room doing their own thing when they heard a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: big commotion coming from the master suite. One of the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: contractors began yelling for the brothers to get in here
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and look at what he had found. As the two
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: brothers they got up, they bolt into the master's suite
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and they look at something that was just sitting on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the ground, and at first they didn't even know what
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they were looking at, but then the contractor, after composing himself,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: told them what it was, and suddenly the boys understood
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: what had happened to their mother. It would turn out
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the brothers were right. Their mother had not simply gone
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: out and abandoned her sons. Instead, on the day their
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: mother left and never came back again, somehow or another,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: she was bound and gagged and stuffed inside the wall
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of their family home. And we know this because when
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that contractor, two decades later, was doing renovations for the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: brothers inside that home, his sledgehammer went into the wall
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: in the master suite, and when he pulled it out again,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a white object came tumbling out of the wall, And
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that object was their mother's skull. And after pulling apart
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the wall and looking inside, they would find the rest
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: of her skeleton clearly bound and gagged. And then, perhaps
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: most disturbingly of all, is that in the wall they
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: would also find all these scratch marks, suggesting she was
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: alive when she was put in there, which means she
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: was in there desperately trying to get the attention of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: her sons to save her, but nobody could hear her.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Following this horrific discovery, the two brothers went to police
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in Mexico City and told them what happened, and the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: police would come.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: To the house.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: They would look all over the place and try to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: figure out, you know, what happened to their mother, who
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: killed her, But they couldn't solve it. Now, the police
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: always did suspect that the stepfather very likely had some
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: level of involvement here, just given the fact that he
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: himself went missing a couple of days after the mother did.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But they could never locate him, and very likely they
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: never will because today he'd be well over ninety years
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: old and is very likely already dead. And now from
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Ballin Studios, here's a clip of our newest podcast called
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: A Twist of History. After you listen, be sure to
• 21:20

  Speaker 1: tuning in.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: New episodes drop every Wednesday.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: It's July ninth, nineteen ten in London, England. A sixteen
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: year old boy flies down four flights of stairs of
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: a concrete office building and steps out onto Burrow High
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: streets on the south bank of the River Thames. The
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: noise hits them immediately. People rushing down the sidewalk. The
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: road filled with a mix of horse drawn buggies and
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: rattling automobiles. The street is so crowded it overwhelms the boy.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: He quickly pulls his hat down further to partially cover
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: his face and starts weaving his way through the foot traffic.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: He darts his eyes back and forth, convinced that someone
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: is going to recognize him. He can feel his heart
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: beat all the way up in his ears. He keeps
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: rushing and scanning the street, but nobody pays any attention
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: to him, so the boy finally relaxes a little. He
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: slows down to a normal walk and makes his way
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: to the entrance of a nearby London Underground station. A
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: few minutes later, the boy sees his father coming towards him,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: holding a single small suitcase. The boy greets his father
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: and they run down the steps together in the underground,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: just in time to catch the next train. The boy
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: watches the train doors close and the mass of passengers exiting.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: He looks around to make sure that he still hasn't
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: been recognized by anyone, and follows his father on board.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: As the train car continues to fill up, the boy
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: and his dad lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: their fellow passengers, and finally, the train starts to roll
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: down the underground tracks and the boy and his father exhale.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Their escape from England has begun.
• 23:15
