Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: I never thought that fear would cripple me, but that
- 0:04Speaker 1: night it did. My name is Cool, and the face
- 0:08Speaker 1: that still haunts me wasn't real, even though it was
- 0:11Speaker 1: a mask. The man behind it, though, he was the
- 0:14Speaker 1: true monster. It began innocently enough. I was twenty one,
- 0:19Speaker 1: soaking in the night life of Catman dou and the
- 0:22Speaker 1: neon lights and music made me feel invincible. That's when
- 0:26Speaker 1: I met Ashish Dula. People called him sugar Daddy, but
- 0:29Speaker 1: I didn't think much of it.
- 0:31Speaker 2: He had a.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Mysterious air about him, always wearing a mask, a grotesque,
- 0:35Speaker 1: wrinkled face that made him look decades older. It was
- 0:39Speaker 1: bizarre and unsettling, but he seemed harmless enough. That night
- 0:43Speaker 1: he took me to an exclusive after party. My gut
- 0:46Speaker 1: was telling me to decline, but the allure of wealth
- 0:48Speaker 1: and exclusivity clouded my judgment. He promised something unforgettable, and
- 0:54Speaker 1: he was right, just not in the way I expected.
- 0:57Speaker 1: The drive to the party seemed interminable, with city lights
- 1:01Speaker 1: dwindling to darkness, but the time we arrived at the house,
- 1:04Speaker 1: it was looming eerily in darkness, the windows dark, empty sockets.
- 1:09Speaker 2: My unease increased, but I entered behind him.
- 1:13Speaker 1: The air inside was suffocating, heavy with an unplaceable stench.
- 1:18Speaker 1: The room was dim, lit only by a flickering bulb
- 1:21Speaker 1: that seemed more like a dying heartbeat than a source
- 1:23Speaker 1: of light. A Shesh's demeanor changed, The charm went away,
- 1:28Speaker 1: and something cold and predatory took its place. Relax, he said,
- 1:33Speaker 1: his voice dripping with false reassurance. Before I could react,
- 1:37Speaker 1: hands grabbed me from behind. I thrashed and screamed, but
- 1:41Speaker 1: they were too strong. They dragged me into a room
- 1:44Speaker 1: and tied me to a chair. A she stood in
- 1:46Speaker 1: the corner, his mask glowing faintly in the dim light,
- 1:50Speaker 1: as if it were alive. Let's begin, he said, softly,
- 1:54Speaker 1: almost kindly. The first burn seared into my skin like
- 1:58Speaker 1: liquid fire. They heated an iron rod until it glowed red,
- 2:02Speaker 1: pressing it against my arm.
- 2:03Speaker 2: While laughing at my screams.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Tears blurred my vision, but I could still see a
- 2:08Speaker 1: she sh watching, tilting his head like I was some experiment.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Do you know why I wear this mask, he asked,
- 2:16Speaker 1: stepping closer, because it lets me see who you really
- 2:19Speaker 1: are when the fear takes over. They didn't just hurt me,
- 2:24Speaker 1: They played with me feeding on my terror. They'd stop
- 2:27Speaker 1: and offer me water and even untie one of my hands,
- 2:30Speaker 1: then start again. When hope flickered in my chest, one
- 2:34Speaker 1: of them brought out nails and a hammer. The sound
- 2:37Speaker 1: of the first strike against my finger was drowned down
- 2:40Speaker 1: by my own screams. The worst part wasn't the pain.
- 2:43Speaker 1: It was a Sheesha's eyes behind the mask. They were empty, lifeless,
- 2:48Speaker 1: as though he wasn't even human. They left me alone
- 2:51Speaker 1: at some point, perhaps assuming I was too broken to escape,
- 2:55Speaker 1: But adrenaline is a powerful thing. My hands were raw
- 2:59Speaker 1: from struggling, but I managed to loosen the ropes. Every
- 3:02Speaker 1: movement sent waves of pain through my body, but I
- 3:05Speaker 1: didn't stop. The house was all shadows and whispers. I
- 3:09Speaker 1: could hear them laughing in another room, their voices echoing
- 3:13Speaker 1: like a nightmare. My bare feet barely made a sound
- 3:16Speaker 1: on the cold floors. I crept toward the door. Then
- 3:19Speaker 1: I saw it, the mask, hanging on a hook by
- 3:22Speaker 1: the exit. For a moment, I froze, as if it
- 3:25Speaker 1: might come to life and stop me, but I forced
- 3:28Speaker 1: myself to move. I burst out into the night, the
- 3:31Speaker 1: cold air biting into my wounds. I ran the world
- 3:35Speaker 1: a blur of tears and pain until I found a
- 3:37Speaker 1: police station. They didn't believe me at first, who would
- 3:41Speaker 1: My story sounded like the plot of a horror movie.
- 3:44Speaker 1: But then the police saw the burns and cuts, and
- 3:46Speaker 1: something shifted in this expression. Tell me everything, he said,
- 3:51Speaker 1: and I did. The raid came days later when they
- 3:54Speaker 1: arrested a Sheesh. He was dancing in his mask, holding
- 3:57Speaker 1: a drink like nothing had happened. They cuffed him, he
- 4:01Speaker 1: turned to me, his unmasked face finally revealed. It wasn't
- 4:05Speaker 1: the grotesque old man I'd seen before, but a younger,
- 4:08Speaker 1: ordinary face, And yet his eyes were the sane, cold,
- 4:13Speaker 1: dead inhuman see as soon he whispered as.
- 4:17Speaker 2: They led him away.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I'm happy that he's behind bars now and so many
- 4:22Speaker 1: innocent lies will be safe. But even today I cannot
- 4:26Speaker 1: sleep without that mask and the ringing of the hammer
- 4:29Speaker 1: on my nails. A Sheish may be behind bars, but
- 4:32Speaker 1: the shadow of a Shesh has been there, reminding us
- 4:36Speaker 1: that monsters do not always roam in the dark. Sometimes
- 4:39Speaker 1: they are among us, carrying masks. Ashish Dullah, thirty three
- 4:45Speaker 1: years old from Nepal, known as Sugar Daddy, has been
- 4:48Speaker 1: accused of horrible torture. Dullah reportedly befriended teenagers through clubbing,
- 4:54Speaker 1: inviting them to his home where he subjected them to
- 4:57Speaker 1: severe abuse, including the use of hot iron drill and
- 5:01Speaker 1: a grinder. Victims have stated that Dullah derived pleasure from
- 5:06Speaker 1: their suffering despite coming from a wealthy family, which may
- 5:10Speaker 1: affect his legal situation. The case has raised significant concerns
- 5:14Speaker 1: about justice and accountability.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Have you ever felt what it's like to be high.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It's like floating, like being free, like being dead and
- 5:26Speaker 1: at peace. Without realizing it, I was already in an office.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I had a faint feeling that I was on trial,
- 5:33Speaker 1: but I wasn't sure. All I know is that I
- 5:36Speaker 1: was in the office of the man who changed my life, fifty.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Five year old Elofi.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Right, it's been hard for you to get you, Victor
- 5:46Speaker 1: told me, looking at me as if this was my
- 5:49Speaker 1: last chance to save myself.
- 5:51Speaker 2: It's true.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I spent years trapped in vices, alcohol, drugs, anything that
- 5:57Speaker 1: allowed me to forget the storm in my head. And
- 6:00Speaker 1: I looked at this therapist and thought he could save me. Idiot,
- 6:04Speaker 1: come follow me, he said, stupid boys, I thought at
- 6:09Speaker 1: the time, But he took me to a fancy restaurant.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Suddenly I was surrounded by bottles of champagne and gourmet food,
- 6:16Speaker 1: although instead of alcohol, he gave me sparkling water, and
- 6:19Speaker 1: he made me talk about my problems. He took me
- 6:21Speaker 1: to restaurants, to his house, anywhere that would help me
- 6:25Speaker 1: stay away from temptation. He treated me like a friend,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and although at first I hated those moments, little by
- 6:31Speaker 1: little I began to find myself in his conversations, in
- 6:35Speaker 1: his advice. I remember when I told him I had
- 6:37Speaker 1: a job. When I broke the record of a year
- 6:40Speaker 1: without drinking or using drugs, he was so happy for me.
- 6:44Speaker 1: If you ever thought about dith. Sometimes he'd ask me
- 6:47Speaker 1: these strange questions to keep me on my toes.
- 6:50Speaker 2: But I knew he knew what he was.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Saying, because it's better to die comfortable than to die
- 6:56Speaker 1: behind the bars, and I think he knew that. I
- 7:01Speaker 1: spent those two years trying to get my life back,
- 7:04Speaker 1: but it didn't work. I wasted my youth on alcohol
- 7:07Speaker 1: and drugs, never enjoying a good woman more than a prostitute.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I felt like when I went out with a woman
- 7:13Speaker 1: my age, the smell of the corner brothel would cloud
- 7:16Speaker 1: my nose. But it wasn't easy women my age. No,
- 7:21Speaker 1: I couldn't stand them. I hated them, i'd say, struggling
- 7:25Speaker 1: with a bitter smile. I never felt comfortable. I'm fifty
- 7:29Speaker 1: seven now, two years into my treatment, but I'd been
- 7:32Speaker 1: admiring her for eight months eva though I didn't know
- 7:37Speaker 1: her name. Then she was young, fresh, so different from
- 7:40Speaker 1: anything I knew. Somehow she became my obsession. I'd seen
- 7:44Speaker 1: her in cafes, in shops, everywhere, and of course, as always,
- 7:49Speaker 1: I followed her. I never spoke to her, never she
- 7:53Speaker 1: was eighteen. But those curves, that body, those lips, that breast,
- 7:59Speaker 1: I wanted to all of her, To be with her.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I imagined it would be like floating under the influence
- 8:04Speaker 1: of heroin. At first, I just watched her, but something
- 8:08Speaker 1: inside me wanted to be close to her. I couldn't
- 8:11Speaker 1: stop thinking about her face, her smile. What would she
- 8:15Speaker 1: do if I approached her? Would she accept me? Then
- 8:19Speaker 1: one day I saw her going into a restaurant with Victor.
- 8:23Speaker 2: That that broke me. What is he doing with her?
- 8:27Speaker 1: I thought, angrily, he has no right to be with
- 8:29Speaker 1: such a beautiful woman. My hands clenched in my coat pockets.
- 8:34Speaker 1: He has no right to talk to her, that idiot.
- 8:37Speaker 1: How dare he talk to my goddess? A horrible thought.
- 8:40Speaker 1: It consumed me a need to claim something that wasn't mine.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I spoke to Victor soon after, during one of our sessions.
- 8:48Speaker 1: You know, I happen to see you go into a
- 8:50Speaker 1: restaurant with a very beautiful young woman. You're not dating
- 8:53Speaker 1: a young girl, are you, I said, in my most
- 8:56Speaker 1: pleasant and joking tone. No, no, no, she's Victor said,
- 9:01Speaker 1: with a slight smile, A young lady with family problems.
- 9:05Speaker 2: But not just my patient anymore. She's now my friend,
- 9:09Speaker 2: just like you.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Part of me calmed down when I heard that, but
- 9:14Speaker 1: another part of me grew angry.
- 9:15Speaker 2: How could he call her a friend?
- 9:18Speaker 1: I wanted her, I needed her, and he he treated
- 9:22Speaker 1: her like just another She seems like a nice young woman.
- 9:26Speaker 1: It must be interesting to talk to her, I dared
- 9:29Speaker 1: to ask. Victor looked at me, raised an eyebrow. Sometimes
- 9:33Speaker 1: it scared me how well he knew me.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Sure.
- 9:36Speaker 1: In fact, I'm planning to have dinner with some of
- 9:39Speaker 1: my patience. It'll be a good opportunity. The dinner was interesting.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Eva didn't seem interested in me or what I had
- 9:47Speaker 1: to say. Sometimes it seemed that she was just looking
- 9:51Speaker 1: down at me, smiling with an expression of indifference. Her
- 9:54Speaker 1: eyes sparkled with a kind of emptiness that unsettled me.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Her eyes only focused on Victor's painted faces, the luxurious
- 10:03Speaker 1: marble floor. I didn't know he was so wealthy. It
- 10:06Speaker 1: bothered me, but that look attracted me. When Victor and
- 10:10Speaker 1: she began to talk, a part of me broke. I
- 10:14Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. I just stood there, frozen. Words wouldn't
- 10:18Speaker 1: come out of my mouth. I wanted to scream, I
- 10:21Speaker 1: wanted to hit something, but I just remained silent. Can
- 10:25Speaker 1: I help you with anything? I asked, my voice weak.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Victor looked at me, his face showing something beyond kindness.
- 10:33Speaker 1: You can help me to look for something in the warehouse,
- 10:36Speaker 1: and he stole a kiss in front of my eyes.
- 10:39Speaker 1: That idiot lied to me. He stayed with her. I
- 10:42Speaker 1: kept my cool, but I felt outraged. We went to
- 10:46Speaker 1: the back of his house, to his huge storage room
- 10:48Speaker 1: in the basement. The lights were dim and the silence
- 10:52Speaker 1: of the place surrounded me.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Eva seemed upset.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I want to celebrate something, Victor said, at this point
- 10:59Speaker 1: I hadn't noticed. He said several of his patients would come,
- 11:03Speaker 1: but it was just her and me until suddenly he
- 11:06Speaker 1: said something with a subtle tone.
- 11:08Speaker 2: My liftwood perfect. Eva barely reacted, neither did I.
- 11:13Speaker 1: The next thing I saw was him stabbing her, and
- 11:16Speaker 1: she started screaming, but he covered her mouth and it
- 11:25Speaker 1: pold away until he finished laughing and said to me,
- 11:28Speaker 1: in her blood, this is the only way to enjoy
- 11:32Speaker 1: this beautiful body.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what happened next. My head started
- 11:38Speaker 1: to spin. All I know is that I started using again.
- 11:42Speaker 1: The need to escape this nightmare was stronger than anything else.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Have you ever felt what it's like to be high.
- 11:48Speaker 1: It's like floating, like being free, like being dead and
- 11:52Speaker 1: at peace.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Everything blurs.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I remember coming home to the sound of sirens waking
- 11:58Speaker 1: me up. The police were there, investigating Eva's murder. Yeah right,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I helped hide the body, I said, without thinking, as
- 12:07Speaker 1: if it were a confession that didn't matter. And there
- 12:10Speaker 1: I was standing before them as if nothing had happened.
- 12:14Speaker 1: But my soul, my soul had already left, and the
- 12:17Speaker 1: officers were disturbed.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Was everything I said for them? Or was it just
- 12:23Speaker 2: in my mind is LaBelle.
- 12:30Speaker 1: A nineteen year old woman from Melbourne, Australia, disappeared in
- 12:33Speaker 1: October fourth, twenty twenty four, after sending a message to
- 12:37Speaker 1: a friend saying she had found the best Russian sugar daddy,
- 12:41Speaker 1: who had given her gifts and claimed to have rescued
- 12:44Speaker 1: her from sex traffickers. Two days later, police allege Marat Gagniev,
- 12:50Speaker 1: fifty three, killed her in his apartment in Saint Kilda East.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Security cameras capture what appeared to be a struggle in
- 12:57Speaker 1: the kitchen of Gagnyev's apartment on October seven, where Isla
- 13:02Speaker 1: is seen being punched and falling to the floor. Gagniev
- 13:06Speaker 1: was filmed cleaning up the area and in the following days.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Her body was found in a landfill on November nineteen,
- 13:13Speaker 1: after being hidden in a refrigerator and moved with the
- 13:16Speaker 1: help of ey Al Yaffi, a fifty seven year old accomplice. Ganniev,
- 13:21Speaker 1: who was arrested and charged with murder, denied killing her,
- 13:25Speaker 1: but he admitted disposing of the body. When you've been
- 13:31Speaker 1: married for forty five years, you notice the little things.
- 13:34Speaker 1: A new cologne, a charged smile. After reading a text
- 13:37Speaker 1: or a careful avoidance of certain questions. I had always
- 13:42Speaker 1: trusted Thomas, my husband, but last year my instincts told
- 13:46Speaker 1: me something was wrong.
- 13:47Speaker 2: It started with Gwen Harper.
- 13:50Speaker 1: My husband introduced her as a patient's mother, Kathy. I've
- 13:54Speaker 1: been working with a boy who has severe anxiety. His mother,
- 13:57Speaker 1: Gwen is struggling financially. I told her I'd help her
- 14:01Speaker 1: connect to resources. I remember meeting Gwen for the first time.
- 14:05Speaker 1: She had this surgically enhanced face, a sense of revealing fashion,
- 14:10Speaker 1: and a massive bosom which she couldn't stop flaunting in
- 14:13Speaker 1: my Thomas's face.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Thank you for all you've done for my son, doctor Bain,
- 14:18Speaker 2: she had said during dinner. I don't know how it
- 14:21Speaker 2: managed without your kindness. Thomas beamed like a schoolboy.
- 14:25Speaker 1: At first I believed his story, but little things didn't
- 14:29Speaker 1: add up. The anxious son was never mentioned again. Thomas
- 14:33Speaker 1: began taking phone calls outside and staying later at the clinic.
- 14:37Speaker 1: I found receipts in his pockets, designer handbags, dinners at
- 14:41Speaker 1: upscale restaurants. Then one night I overheard a conversation, I
- 14:46Speaker 1: can't keep doing this. You promised you'd get back on
- 14:49Speaker 1: your feet. I didn't confront him. Maybe it was fear
- 14:53Speaker 1: or maybe pride, but I knew he was lying to me.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Three months later, Thomas told me he was heading to
- 14:58Speaker 1: Las Vegas for a medical convention. It was the first
- 15:02Speaker 1: time in decades he hadn't asked me to come along, Kathy,
- 15:06Speaker 1: It's just two nights, he reassured me, fiddling with his watch.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I'll be back before you know.
- 15:11Speaker 2: It is Gwen going to be there. What is she
- 15:16Speaker 2: going to be there? I don't know. She is a
- 15:18Speaker 2: medical rep, so she might. Oh, she's a medical rep. Now,
- 15:24Speaker 2: I thought she was a patient's mother. She's also a
- 15:26Speaker 2: medical rep. What was the issue with her child? What
- 15:31Speaker 2: what was the issue with her child? Uh? The ADHD.
- 15:36Speaker 2: He's on the spectrum. Oh, I thought it was severe anxiety.
- 15:41Speaker 1: He looked at me. We both knew what was up.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I just wanted to see the glint of guilt in
- 15:46Speaker 1: his eyes. I rushed the washroom and emerged with his
- 15:49Speaker 1: wedding ring. He had taken it off and forgotten the
- 15:52Speaker 1: h you know, my fingers are shrinking.
- 15:55Speaker 2: It must have slipped.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I took out my necklace, strung it around the ring,
- 15:59Speaker 1: and made him wear it around his neck. He dared
- 16:02Speaker 1: not say a word about it to me. He left
- 16:05Speaker 1: with a small suitcase and his laptop. When three days
- 16:08Speaker 1: passed without a call or a text, my gut told
- 16:10Speaker 1: me something was wrong. I dialed his number repeatedly, but
- 16:14Speaker 1: it went straight to voicemail.
- 16:16Speaker 2: That's when I called the police.
- 16:18Speaker 1: They found by Thomas's body two days later in an
- 16:21Speaker 1: abandoned car off a dusty highway outside Vegas. He'd been
- 16:25Speaker 1: bludgeoned to death, his head wrapped in a blood soaked towel.
- 16:29Speaker 1: The detective, a tall man with a gravelly voice, laid
- 16:33Speaker 1: it out plainly, Miss Spain, it wasn't random, this was personal.
- 16:38Speaker 1: The investigation unraveled everything. Thomas had been having an affair
- 16:43Speaker 1: with Gwen, who was actually an ex porn star and
- 16:46Speaker 1: a struggling hooker. He had been paying her rent, buying
- 16:49Speaker 1: her gifts, and covering her bills. It started as charity,
- 16:53Speaker 1: a kind hearted man wanting to help, but Gwen took control.
- 16:57Speaker 1: A tipping point came when Thomas stopped sending money. Hotel
- 17:00Speaker 1: security footage showed him arguing with Gwen in the hallway
- 17:03Speaker 1: outside his room. Witnesses said he threw her out, yelling
- 17:08Speaker 1: you're a parasite.
- 17:09Speaker 2: I'm done. Gwen didn't take rejection well.
- 17:12Speaker 1: She called Rick, her ex boyfriend, a man with a
- 17:15Speaker 1: record as long as my arm.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Together, they concncted a plan.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Rick brought a tire iron, and they waited for Thomas
- 17:22Speaker 1: in the hotel parking lot. According to Gwen's confession, Thomas
- 17:26Speaker 1: begged for his life, but Gwen wanted revenge. She told
- 17:30Speaker 1: Rick to make it messy. When the police arrested Gwen,
- 17:34Speaker 1: she didn't seem remorseful. Her mugshot showed her looking almost bored.
- 17:38Speaker 1: There's a moment I can't stop thinking about the last
- 17:41Speaker 1: time Thomas and I had dinner together. He looked tired,
- 17:45Speaker 1: older than I'd ever seen him. Kathy, he'd said, putting
- 17:49Speaker 1: his hand over mine. You're my anchor. You've kept me
- 17:52Speaker 1: steady all these years. I didn't know how far he'd drifted.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Gwen received life in prison without parole. Rick took a
- 18:00Speaker 1: plea deal and got thirty years. I still can't believe
- 18:03Speaker 1: how easily Thomas was lured into her web. He was
- 18:06Speaker 1: a brilliant man, but even the brightest minds can be
- 18:10Speaker 1: blinded by desire. The hardest part isn't losing him it's
- 18:15Speaker 1: knowing that in his final moments he was alone, betrayed
- 18:18Speaker 1: by the very person he thought he was helping. The
- 18:21Speaker 1: only comforting fact he found him clutching the ring.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Around his neck.
- 18:28Speaker 1: This story is inspired by the real life murder of
- 18:31Speaker 1: doctor Thomas Burchard, a child psychiatrist whose affair with a
- 18:35Speaker 1: former playboy model Kelsey Turner ended in tragedy. Burchard financially
- 18:41Speaker 1: supported Turner until their relationship soured, leading to an argument
- 18:46Speaker 1: in a Las Vegas hotel. Turner, with the help of
- 18:49Speaker 1: her ex boyfriend, murdered him in revenge.
- 18:52Speaker 2: His body was found in an abandoned car
