• 0:31
  Speaker 1: today's stories. On the evening of March twenty seventh, twenty thirteen,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a forty five year old doctor named Marcelo Gurrichaga dug
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: through a supply cabinet in the clinic that he owned
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in southeastern Spain. He grabbed an ivy needle, anesthetic drugs
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and a scalpel, and then he walked to the operating
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: room in the back of the clinic, where his patient
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was already lying on the table. And as Marcello looked
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: at his patient, he couldn't help but feel incredibly anxious.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: This was easily going to be the most important and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: most dangerous surgery he had ever done. In fact, the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: surgery was illegal, and one wrong move here could not
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: only harm his patient, but could also destroy his life.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I mean he could lose his medical license, he could
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: be arrested. I mean, this was a very high stakes operation.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But Marcello felt like he really had no choice here
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because he had this huge problem going on in his
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: personal life, and he had been promised that if he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: did this surgery successfully, that problem would be solved. His
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: hands shook as he gave his patient the IV, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: then he began administering the anesthetic drugs. Soon his patient
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was unconscious, and then, after a steadying breath, Marcello picked
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: up the scalpel and then made his first decision. A
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: little over a week later, on April fifth, twenty thirteen,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a very disheveled and distraught Marcello walked into a local
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: police station carrying a small cardboard box. Once he was inside,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he told the clerk that he had to speak to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: an officer because he needed to make a confession. A
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: moment later, a detective came out, and right away Marcello
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: began crying, and he told this detective this unbelievable story,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and as he did, the detective just felt really bad
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: for Marcello. I mean, this story was so tragic, so awful.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But as Marcello went along and the details of the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: story began kind of going all over the place, the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: detective went from feeling empathy to confusion to full blown
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: suspicion of Marcello. Something was off here. And so at
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: some point, when Marcello finally went quiet and he was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: just standing there holding this box, the detective looked at
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: him and said, Hey, what's in that box? And when
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Marcello reached down and slowly opened it up, the detective
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: immediately knew two things. One, Marcello was definitely lying. Two,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: this whole situation was far more serious than this detective
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: had imagined. It would turn out. The big personal problem
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that Marcello was experiencing that supposedly this high stake's illegal
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: surgery was going to alleviate had to do with his wife, Rosa.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Rosa was deeply unhappy, specifically about her weight. She felt
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like she was overweight, and so she had given her husband,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Marcello the doctor and ultimatum. She said, you need to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: perform a weight loss surgery on me or I'm going
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to take my own life. And Marcello knew this was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: no idle threat because his wife, Rosa, had previously attempted
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to end her life before, and so ultimately Marcello agrees
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to do this illegal operation. But this operation was illegal
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not because Marcello was not like a weight loss doctor. No,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it was illegal because Marcello was a animal doctor. He
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was a veterinarian, not a human doctor, and so Marcello
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: really had no idea how to perform this weight loss surgery.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And so as soon as he made that first decision
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on his wife, the surgery went completely sideways, and Rosa
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: died on the operating table. And when that happened, Marcello
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: panicked and immediately dismembered his wife's body and cremated her
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in an attempt to cover up what he had just done. However,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: over the next week, Marcello felt so guilty about what
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he did that he ultimately went to the police and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he confessed. However, at first, during this confession, Marcello told
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the detective that his wife had died because she had
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: taken her own life, and when the detective began asking
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: probing questions, about how she died exactly, and when this happened,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he began getting answers that didn't really make any sense,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and so ultimately he asked Marcello to please show him
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: what's inside of that box he's carrying. So Marcello opened
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it up, revealing Rosa's ashes, and that told the detective
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that Marcello had to be lying, because he's thinking, wait
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a minute, if your wife took her own life a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: week ago, why did Marcello immediately cremate her and hide
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the fact that she had been dead for a whole week.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It didn't add up. Ultimately, Marcello would be charged with
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: his wife's murder, but he would spend four years in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: prison awaiting trial, and then when he went to trial,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he was found guilty and sentenced to an additional ten
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: years in prison. Hey, football fans, super Bowl fifty nine

• 6:46
  Speaker 1: On a late winter afternoon in nineteen eighty five, a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Canadian border security guard stood at the border between New
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: York State and Ontario, Canada, and as he looked out
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: at the dozens of cars lined up at his checkpoint,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he felt an enormous amount of responsibilit because for him,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: working at border security was not just about checking people's passports.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It was also about making sure dangerous criminals from the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: United States did not flee their country and enter Canada.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And today there was one particular dangerous criminal from the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: United States that this guard was on high alert for,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a thirty year old man named Alex Mangle. A few
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: days earlier, Alex Mangle had been stopped by a police
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: officer near New York City, and during this traffic stop,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Alex had somehow taken the police officer's gun and shot
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the officer in the head, killing them. And then Alex
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: had fled and he was still on the run. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: so now law enforcement was concerned that because New York
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was only six hours from the Canadian border, that it
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was very possible that Alex might try to flee into
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Canada to escape persecution, and so US and Canadian law
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: enforcement and border security were on the lookout for Alex Mangle,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and he was this thirty year old white man with
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: thinning brown hair and a wispy mustache. And so all
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: day long that Canadian border secure guard looked very closely
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: at every person who came through his checkpoint to see
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: if they were Alex Mangle. He would see a family
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: on their way to visit relatives in Canada. He would
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: see a couple on their honeymoon. He would see a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: man with a car full of camping supplies, and a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: middle aged woman traveling alone, and all these different people
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: from all walks of life, but none of them looked
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: anything like Alex Mangle. And so by the end of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: his shift, after checking dozens and dozens of cars and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: looking at every person, he felt certain that Alex Mangle
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: had not slipped through his checkpoint, and so he clocked
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: out and he went home. A few days later, on
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: March second, a police officer was patrolling this parking lot
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: right outside of a shopping mall in Ontario, Canada, which
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: was located about an hour and a half away from
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the border. And during his patrol, at some point he
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: noticed there was this one car, a white Toyota, that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: had been loitering in the area for quite a while,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and so he decided to drive over and see what
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was going on. And when he got there, he looked
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: inside the vehicle and he saw someone sitting on the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: passenger seat, and he was a white man, probably in
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: his thirties, with thinning brown hair and a wispy mustache.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And this officer immediately recognized the Sky as being the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: wanted criminal Alex Mangle, and so the officer immediately called
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: for backup, and then he parked his car, got out
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and approached the white Toyota where the Sky was sitting,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with his gun drawn. And as the officer approached the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: passenger side door, the man inside turned noticed the officer
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: jumped into the driver's seat, fired up the car, and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the Toyota sped out of the parking lot, and so
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the officer he jumps back in his cruiser and he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: takes off after him, and before long it was like
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the entirety of the police force in Toronto was a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: part of this high speed chase to catch the Sky.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And eventually they funneled the car into a dead end
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: street and the white Toyota crashed into a stop sign,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and then the man inside with the mustache and the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: thinning brown hair pops out and immediately everybody sees, yep,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that's Alex Mangle. He didn't put up a fight at
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that point, he was taken into custody. However, despite how
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: relieved law enforcement was to have this cot killer in custody,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: they realized they didn't understand something. How was it that
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Alex Mangele got past border security and got into Canada.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody was on high alert looking for him. What happened?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And so police were baffled until they searched that white
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Toyota Alex had been driving on the night that Alex
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: shot and killed that police officer near New York City.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He immediately fled to this wooded area and hit out overnight.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And then the next day when he got up, he
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: was walking around and he happened to pass by this
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: commercial building and as he was looking at it, he
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: saw this middle aged woman whose name was Beverly Capone,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: come out of the building and make her way towards
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: her car, and she was all alone, and so Alex
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: walked up to her and abducted her at gunpoint, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: then he drove her to this cabin out in the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: woods that he knew would be totally isolated, no one
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was there, and once they got there, he murdered her.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And then once she was dead, he stole her clothes
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and put it on, and also cut off her face
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and her scalp and put those on as well. He
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was literally baring her skin and hair, and he hopped
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in that white Toyota and he drove up to the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Canadian border, and amazingly he got through the checkpoint into
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Canada without anybody noticing. It would turn out that Canadian
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: border security guard who all day was checking for Alex Mangle,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: did actually see Alex Mangle. He just didn't recognize him
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: because Alex Mangle was wearing Beverly Capone's face, hair, and clothes,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and so he thought he was just a middle aged
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: woman traveling alone, and he led him on through. And
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: so police would figure this whole thing out when they
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: searched that white Toyota because they would find lying on
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the floorboard was Beverly's dress, scalp, and face. Alex was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: deported back to the US. However, before he could stand trial,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he attempted to escape a prison transport and in the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: process got shot to death by police. However, that was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not the end of Alex's story. Following his death, officers
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: continued to investigate him and also his property, and at
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: some point during a search of his property, they would
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: discover all these folk of unidentified women along with these
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: maps where these very isolated places in New York and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania were circled, and nobody knows what they mean. Now.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Police have not conclusively linked Alex to any other murders,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: but he does remain a suspect in several cases, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: in fact, many investigators believe Alex was actually a serial killer. However,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: we'll probably never know how many people Alex actually killed
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: because he took all of his secrets to the grave.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: At five pm on May twelfth, two thousand and five,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: an eighteen year old college student named Simon Ang sat
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: inside of his bedroom in the apartment he shared with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: his sister Sharon in New York City. Simon was supposed
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to be doing homework, but instead he was doing something
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he loved, which was blogging. Simon would write on his
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: blog just about every single day, and he typically wrote
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about his self improvement journey. He was on not because
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: he thought lots of people were going to read it
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and be inspired by it, but because he kind of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to chronicle his journey so that in the future,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: when he was the best version of himself, he could
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: look back and sort of see how far he had
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: come to see the progress he made. But on this
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: particular day, Simon was not writing about self improvement. Instead,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: he was blogging about something that was totally unusual for him.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: In fact, he had never written anything like this on
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: his blog ever before. But Simon knew basically nobody read
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: his blog, and so he wasn't really that concerned about
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: writing something so off topic, and so at about five
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: or five PM, when he was done with this very
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: strange blog post, he didn't think twice. He just hit post.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Five hours later, at about ten pm, an NYPD detective,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: along with some other police officers and first responders, arrived
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: at Simon and Sharon's apartment. They went inside and went
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: straight to Simon's bedroom, and there they would find Simon.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He was laying perfectly still on the ground, His feet
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: were bound by duct tape, and he was covered in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: stab wounds. They rushed up to him to feel for
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a pulse, but very quickly they discovered he was dead.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And then before they could even process what had happened here,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: They heard moaning coming from the other bedroom across the hall,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and so they rushed in there and they would discover
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Simon's sister, Sharon. She also was covered in stab wounds
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and laying on the ground, but she was still alive,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and so they tried to rush her to the hospital
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to try to save her life, but in transit she
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: would die, and she would also die before she could
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: actually tell authorities what happened to her and her brother.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: For the next three days, investigators could not make sense
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of Simon and Sharon's murders. But then a detective discovered
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Simon's blog and they found his final entry, and it
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: was that very unusual post that Simon did that was
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: not anything to do with his self improvement journey. While
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it would turn out that last post broke the case
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: wide open. Right before Simon was killed, he wrote in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: his blog about what was act actually happening in his apartment,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: like in real time, literally what he was seeing and hearing.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Here is a screenshot of that blog post. It says, quote,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: today has been weird. At three, some guy ringed the bell.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It was my sister's former boyfriend. He is still here
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: right now, hopefully he will leave soon. Sharon's former boyfriend
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was a man named Jin Chung Lynn, and a year earlier,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: he and Sharon had gone through a really rocky breakup. Now,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Sharon had moved on and kind of gotten over the breakup,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: but Jin hadn't. He was still furious about the way
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: things ended, and so he ultimately went to Sharon and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Simon's apartment to get revenge, and his revenge was murdering
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the brother and sister. When police confronted Jin with information
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: from Simon's blog post, he immediately confessed to the murders.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Jin was tried and found guilty of the murders and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: sentenced to life in prison without parole. Today, Simon's blog
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: is actually still available online, so you can go and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: see his final post. However, what you'll really see if
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you go to his blog is the thousands and thousands
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of comments from people all around the world hoping that
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Simon and Sharon rest in peace. Thank you so much
• 16:16
