• 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
• 0:56
  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: winter afternoon in nineteen eighty five, a Canadian border security
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: guard stood at the border between New York State and Ontario, Canada,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and as he looked out at the dozens of cars
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: lined up at his checkpoint, he felt an enormous amount
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of responsibility because for him, working at border security was
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not just about checking people's passports. It was also about
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: making sure dangerous criminals from the United States did not
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: flee their country and enter Canada. And today there was
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: one particular dangerous criminal from the United States that this
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: guard was on high alert for, a thirty year old
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: man named Alex Mangle. A few days earlier, Alex Mangle
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: had been stopped by a police officer near New York City,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and during this traffic stop, Alex had somehow taken the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: police officer's gun and shot the officer in the head,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: killing them. And then Alex had fled, and he was
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: still on the run. And so now law enforcement was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: concerned that because New York was only six hours from
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Canadian border, that it was very possible that Alex
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: might try to flee into Canada to escape persecution, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: so US and Canadian law enforcement and border security were
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: on the lookout for Alex Mangle. And he was this
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: thirty year old white man with thinning brown hair and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a wispy mustache. And so all day long that Canadian
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: border secure guard looked very closely at every person who
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: came through his checkpoint to see if they were Alex Mangle.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: He would see a family on their way to visit
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: relatives in Canada. He would see a couple on their honeymoon.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He would see a man with a car full of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: camping supplies, and a middle aged woman traveling alone, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: all these different people from all walks of life, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: none of them looked anything like Alex Mangle. And so
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: by the end of his shift, after checking dozens and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: dozens of cars and looking at every person, he felt
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: certain that Alex Mangle had not slipped through his checkpoint,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and so he clocked out and he went home. A
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: few days later, on March second, a police officer was
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: patrolling this parking lot right outside of a shopping mall
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in Ontario, Canada, which was located about an hour and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a half away from the border. And during his patrol,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: at some point he noticed there was this one car,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a white Toyota that had been loitering in the area
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: for quite a while, and so he decided to drive
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: over and see what was going on. And when he
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: got there, he looked inside the vehicle and he saw
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: someone sitting on the passenger seat, and he was a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: white man, probably in his thirties, with thinning brown hair
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and a wispy mustache. And this officer immediately recognized the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Sky as being the wanted criminal Alex Mangle, and so
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the officer immediately called for backup, and then he parked
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: his car, got out and approached the white Toyota where
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the Sky was sitting, with his gun drawn. And as
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the officer approached the passenger side door, the man inside
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: turned noticed the officer jumped into the driver's seat, fired
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: up the car, and the Toyota sped out of the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: parking lot. And so the officer he jumps back in
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: his cruiser and he takes off after him, and before
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: long it was like the entirety of the police force
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in Toronto was a part of this high speed chase
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to catch the Sky. And eventually they funneled the car
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: into a dead end street and the white Toyota crashed
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: into a stop sign, and then the man inside with
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the mustache and the thinning brown hair pops out and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: immediately everybody sees, yep, that's Alex Mangle. He didn't put
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: up a fight. At that point, he was taken into custody. However,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: despite how relieved law enforcement was to have this cop
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: killer in custody, they realized they didn't understand something. How
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was it that Alex Mangele got past border security and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: got into Canada. Everybody was on high alert looking for him.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: What happened? And so police were baffled until they searched
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that white Toyota Alex had been driving on the night
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that Alex shot and killed that police officer near New
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: York City. He immediately fled to this wooded area and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: hit out overnight, and then the next day when he
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: got up, he was walking around and he happened to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: pass by this commercial building and as he was looking
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: at it, he saw this middle aged woman whose name
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: was Beverly Capone, come out of the building and make
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: her way towards her car, and she was all alone,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and so Alex walked up to her and abducted her
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: at gunpoint, and then he drove her to this cabin
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: out in the woods that he knew would be totally isolated,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: no one was there, and once they got there, he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: murdered her. And then once she was dead, he stole
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: her clothes and put it on, and also cut off
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: her face and her scalp and put those on as well.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: He was literally baring her skin and hair. And he
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: hopped in that white Toyota and he drove up to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the Canadian border, and amazingly he got through the checkpoint
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: into Canada without anybody noticing. It would turn out that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Canadian border security guard who all day was checking for
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Alex Mangle, did actually see Alex Mangle. He just didn't
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: recognize him because Alex Mangle was wearing Beverly Capone's face, hair,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and clothes, and so he thought he was just a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: middle aged woman traveling alone, and he led him on through.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And so police would figure this whole thing out when
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they searched that white Toyota, because they would find lying
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: on the floorboard was Beverly's dress, scalp, and face. Alex
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: was deported back to the US, However, before he could
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: stand trial, he attempted to escape a prison transport and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in the process got shot to death by police. However,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that was not the end of Alex's story. Following his death,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: officers continued to investigate him and also his property, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: at some point during a search of his property, they
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: would discover all these photo of unidentified women along with
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: these maps where these very isolated places in New York
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and 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 shared with his
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: sister Sharon in New York City. Simon was supposed to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: be doing homework, but instead he was doing something he loved,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: which was blogging. Simon would write on his blog just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: about every single day, and he typically wrote about his
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: self improvement journey. He was on not because he thought
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: lots of people were going to read it and be
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: inspired by it, but because he kind of wanted to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: chronicle his journey so that in the future, when he
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was the best version of himself, he could look back
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and sort of see how far he had come to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: see the progress he made. But on this particular day,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Simon was not writing about self improvement. Instead, he was
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: blogging about something that was totally unusual for him. In fact,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: he had never written anything like this on his blog
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: ever before. But Simon knew basically nobody read his blog,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and so he wasn't really that concerned about writing something
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: so off topic. And so at about five h five PM,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: when he was done with this very strange blog post,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: he didn't think twice. He just hit post. Five hours later,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: at about ten pm, an NYPD detective, along with some
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: other police officers and first responders, arrived at Simon and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Sharon's apartment. They went inside and went straight to Simon's bedroom,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and there they would find Simon. He was laying perfectly
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: still on the ground, his feet were bound by duct tape,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and he was covered in stab wounds. They rushed up
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to him to feel for a pulse, but very quickly
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they discovered he was dead. And then before they could
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: even process what had happened here, They heard moaning coming
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: from the other bedroom across the hall, and so they
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: rushed in there and they would discover Simon's sister, Sharon.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: She also was covered in stab wounds and laying on
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the ground, but she was still alive, and so they
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: tried to rush her to the hospital to try to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: save her life, but in transit she would die, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: she would also die before she could actually tell authorities
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: what happened to her and her brother. For the next
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: three days, investigators could not make sense of Simon and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Sharon's murders. But then a detective discovered Simon's blog and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: they found his final entry, and it was that very
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: unusual post that Simon did that was not anything to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: do with his self improvement journey. Well, it would turn
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: out that last post broke the case wide open. Right
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: before Simon was killed, he wrote in his blog about
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: what was act actually happening in his apartment, like in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: real time, literally what he was seeing and hearing. Here
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: 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
• 15:17
  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
