- 0:00Speaker 1: Today's story really has just a wild plot twist, and
- 0:05Speaker 1: that's kind of what we do on this channel. We
- 0:07Speaker 1: look for stories with crazy plot twists. This is a
- 0:10Speaker 1: big one. So the story opens with these these officers,
- 0:13Speaker 1: these police officers in Lebanon that have been sent to
- 0:16Speaker 1: this beach to go investigate this strange object on the sand,
- 0:20Speaker 1: and they go to this object and they're sort of
- 0:22Speaker 1: bewildered by it. And as the story progresses, you have
- 0:25Speaker 1: a pretty good idea of what this is. You know
- 0:28Speaker 1: why it happened, and likely what's going to be the outcome.
- 0:31Speaker 1: But then at the very end of the story, when
- 0:33Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, this is pretty predictable, it just goes
- 0:36Speaker 1: completely into left field and you're going to be left
- 0:39Speaker 1: being like, I've never heard a story like that. But

- 1:08Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. One night in late January
- 1:28Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty five, a police officer named Faried Jabart,
- 1:31Speaker 1: along with another officer his partner, were walking along the
- 1:35Speaker 1: beach in Antilius Lebanon, which is a tiny village just
- 1:38Speaker 1: north of Beirut. The weather was absolutely terrible. It was
- 1:41Speaker 1: freezing out, it was pouring rain, and you know, it's
- 1:44Speaker 1: night time, so it's dark out. I mean, this is
- 1:46Speaker 1: a pretty nasty time to be out, you know, walking around,
- 1:49Speaker 1: you know, as much as Fared and very likely his
- 1:51Speaker 1: partner would have desperately liked to have been home in
- 1:53Speaker 1: bed right now. They knew that, you know, they both
- 1:56Speaker 1: needed this job, especially for Reed. You know, it paid
- 1:59Speaker 1: well and he couldn't afford to lose it, and so
- 2:01Speaker 1: sometimes doing this job, being a cop, was pretty uncomfortable,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and he'd sort of just accepted that. Now. The reason
- 2:08Speaker 1: that far Reed and his partner we're out here right
- 2:10Speaker 1: now patrolling this beach in this terrible weather was because
- 2:13Speaker 1: somebody had called in and said that they saw something
- 2:16Speaker 1: odd on the beach and they thought maybe it could
- 2:20Speaker 1: be a dead body, or it could just be a
- 2:21Speaker 1: body period. They didn't know, but there was something odd
- 2:24Speaker 1: on the beach, and so the police were called to
- 2:26Speaker 1: go have a look. Now, this part of Lebanon was
- 2:28Speaker 1: considered pretty safe, so you know, the idea of bodies
- 2:32Speaker 1: turning up sort of out on the beach or out
- 2:34Speaker 1: you know, in public anywhere was just sort of unheard of,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and so Fared and his partner really didn't expect to
- 2:40Speaker 1: walk up on a dead body or something. In fact,
- 2:43Speaker 1: Fared really just expected to find some dead sea creature
- 2:46Speaker 1: or something, or maybe some trash. He didn't know what.
- 2:48Speaker 1: But you know, as he's walking along with his jacket
- 2:51Speaker 1: pulled around tight and he's scanning the beach with his flashlight,
- 2:54Speaker 1: you know, battling the weather, you know, he just felt
- 2:56Speaker 1: kind of annoyed that they were out here like this
- 2:58Speaker 1: is going to be nothing, Like why are we even
- 2:59Speaker 1: being There's no way there's literally a body on the
- 3:03Speaker 1: beach right now. But sure enough, as Fared and his
- 3:07Speaker 1: partner continued walking along the beach, you know, looking around
- 3:10Speaker 1: with their flashlights, far down the beach, right in the
- 3:12Speaker 1: middle of the sand, they did see this odd object
- 3:16Speaker 1: just laying out on the sand, and even at first
- 3:19Speaker 1: glance from a distance, it did look human like. It
- 3:23Speaker 1: definitely had the form where it could be a person.
- 3:26Speaker 1: And so right away Forard and his partner are like,
- 3:29Speaker 1: clearly that's what was called in. This is what we're
- 3:31Speaker 1: here to investigate. Now, the two of them didn't run
- 3:33Speaker 1: over to whatever this was. They have no idea what's
- 3:36Speaker 1: going on here. I mean, if this really is a person,
- 3:38Speaker 1: they don't know why they're here, you know, if there's
- 3:40Speaker 1: somebody that hurt them that's in the vicinity. So they're
- 3:42Speaker 1: playing it safe. They're walking up slowly, scanning the whole
- 3:45Speaker 1: beach looking for any other indication of, you know, whatever
- 3:48Speaker 1: this is. Maybe there's other things that are odd on
- 3:50Speaker 1: the beach, but there was nothing. It was just this
- 3:52Speaker 1: odd bodylike thing on the sand. But as they got closer,
- 3:56Speaker 1: for Reid in particular, he's looking at this objects like
- 4:00Speaker 1: that is definitely a person. I can tell that's a
- 4:02Speaker 1: body on the ground. But there was just something odd
- 4:06Speaker 1: about the body. It just looked off. There was just
- 4:09Speaker 1: something unnatural about it. There's something that he couldn't put
- 4:12Speaker 1: his finger on. But he's going to find out when
- 4:14Speaker 1: he gets close, and so Fared and his partner they
- 4:16Speaker 1: get closer and closer, and both their flashlights are trained
- 4:19Speaker 1: on this human like thing and then finally they're standing
- 4:22Speaker 1: right over it and they look down and for sure
- 4:25Speaker 1: this is a person. But they could now see now
- 4:28Speaker 1: that they're right up close, why this person seemed off,
- 4:32Speaker 1: and it was because this body was missing its head.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Now right away, it seemed fairly apparent to Fared and
- 4:38Speaker 1: his partner that this body one belonged to a man,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and two very likely they did not die of like
- 4:46Speaker 1: an accidental drowning and get washed up on shore or something.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Very likely, especially because of the decapitation. This man was murdered.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Somebody killed him and likely dumped him here or maybe
- 4:56Speaker 1: dumped him in the water and then he washed up here.
- 4:58Speaker 1: But this is this is and so Fared and the
- 5:02Speaker 1: partner they're like, okay, we got to search the area,
- 5:04Speaker 1: do a cursor research, and just make sure you know,
- 5:07Speaker 1: whoever did this isn't just nearby. We need to secure
- 5:10Speaker 1: the scene. And so they drew their guns and they
- 5:12Speaker 1: walked the area, but there was nobody else there. The
- 5:15Speaker 1: beaches is totally you know, desolate, minus this body and
- 5:18Speaker 1: the police officers. And so after doing that curse research
- 5:21Speaker 1: and coming back to the body, Farid and his partner
- 5:24Speaker 1: began talking about like what they were going to do. Now.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Remember this is the mid nineteen sixties in a small
- 5:30Speaker 1: rural village in Lebanon, So this is not like a
- 5:33Speaker 1: robust police department that Faried and his partner were a
- 5:36Speaker 1: part of. They did not have, you know, huge resources
- 5:39Speaker 1: to process this, you know, vicious homicide, or at least
- 5:42Speaker 1: what it looked to be a vicious homicide. They didn't
- 5:44Speaker 1: even have radios to call in backup. I mean, they
- 5:47Speaker 1: knew at best what they'd be able to do here
- 5:50Speaker 1: is maybe by tomorrow they could have a couple more
- 5:53Speaker 1: officers come out and begin to investigate and see what
- 5:56Speaker 1: happened here. But just to do that, it would require
- 5:59Speaker 1: literally going back to the station and rallying support and
- 6:02Speaker 1: explaining what's going on and coming up with a plan
- 6:05Speaker 1: and going out and doing that. And so as they're
- 6:07Speaker 1: sort of talking through what they should do, because again
- 6:09Speaker 1: also remember this is not an area where homicides take
- 6:12Speaker 1: place either. I mean, this is pretty anomalous, so they
- 6:15Speaker 1: like don't even necessarily know how to process a homicide
- 6:18Speaker 1: but they say, okay, our best bet is one of
- 6:21Speaker 1: us just needs to stay here with the body, basically
- 6:23Speaker 1: guard the crime scene, and the other we'll go back
- 6:26Speaker 1: to the station and file the paperwork and get this
- 6:29Speaker 1: machine in motion so that tomorrow we can actually begin investigating.
- 6:33Speaker 1: So basically, one of them would have to stay the night,
- 6:36Speaker 1: literally on the beach, in the freezing cold and the rain,
- 6:39Speaker 1: next to this dead body to make sure nobody came
- 6:41Speaker 1: back to claim it or desecrate it in some way.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And as they're talking about who was going to do that,
- 6:48Speaker 1: Farreed was the more junior officer, and so pretty quickly
- 6:51Speaker 1: it became clear that he was going to have to
- 6:54Speaker 1: do it. And again going back to the earlier part
- 6:56Speaker 1: in the story where Farreed, you know, he knew this
- 6:58Speaker 1: job could be very uncomfortab sometimes, but he needed this job,
- 7:02Speaker 1: he needed the income. He couldn't afford to lose this job.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And so when it was sort of clear this was
- 7:07Speaker 1: going to be his doing, he said, fine, you know,
- 7:09Speaker 1: I'll stay here, I'll stay with the body, you go
- 7:12Speaker 1: get the investigation started, and i'll see you tomorrow. Now,
- 7:15Speaker 1: after Fared's partner had left and had walked down the
- 7:18Speaker 1: beach and disappeared. Farreed sort of realized just how bad
- 7:23Speaker 1: this night was going to be. I mean, think about it.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Not only is the weather awful, but he's literally, you know,
- 7:28Speaker 1: sitting next to a decapitated body. He's going to be
- 7:31Speaker 1: just you know, in the company of this dead body
- 7:33Speaker 1: all night. And on top of that, he suspects that
- 7:36Speaker 1: somebody has killed this guy. This guy's been murdered, and
- 7:40Speaker 1: maybe this body has been dumped here by the murderer.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And even though they did a curse research, it wasn't
- 7:45Speaker 1: like one hundred percent certain that the killer or killers
- 7:48Speaker 1: were not somewhere in the area, And so Fared's thinking like, Okay,
- 7:52Speaker 1: I have to guard the body and be careful not
- 7:54Speaker 1: to get attacked by the killer who could be, you know, nearby.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I mean, this is like straight out of a nightmare.
- 7:59Speaker 1: But you know, at the same time, for Reid's thinking
- 8:01Speaker 1: to himself, you know, I'm a I'm a trained police officer.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I have my my issued gun and my issued knife.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I'm not completely defenseless here. If somebody were to come
- 8:10Speaker 1: out here and attack me, you know, I could, I
- 8:12Speaker 1: could hold my own I could defend myself. So he's
- 8:14Speaker 1: at least telling himself that, And so as the rain
- 8:17Speaker 1: continues to just pound down on for Reid, you know,
- 8:19Speaker 1: he's shivering, he's miserable. You know, he knows he's supposed
- 8:23Speaker 1: to be alert and you know, watching this crime scene,
- 8:27Speaker 1: he's not supposed to sleep, but he's just he's so
- 8:30Speaker 1: uncomfortable that he finds himself getting down on the sand
- 8:33Speaker 1: and kind of you know, getting into the fetal position.
- 8:35Speaker 1: You're trying to find a little bit of comfort. Then
- 8:38Speaker 1: at some point he does get a little comfortable, in fact,
- 8:40Speaker 1: so comfortable that, despite how awful it was outside, he
- 8:44Speaker 1: did fall asleep at about maybe two three in the morning,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and so Fared falls asleep, and then a few hours
- 8:50Speaker 1: later he wakes up, and he's in a panic because
- 8:53Speaker 1: he knows he wasn't supposed to fall asleep. He's supposed
- 8:56Speaker 1: to be guarding this crime scene to make sure nobody
- 8:58Speaker 1: touches this body. And all. Remember, he thinks the killer
- 9:01Speaker 1: could be out here, like it's an actual, real possibility
- 9:04Speaker 1: they might come back and do something to the body.
- 9:06Speaker 1: And he's just fallen asleep, and so he kind of
- 9:08Speaker 1: scrambles to his feet. He's taken stock of the scene.
- 9:11Speaker 1: You know, it's still raining, it's still cold and dark out.
- 9:13Speaker 1: And he turns and he looks where the body was
- 9:16Speaker 1: supposed to be, and it's gone. The body is gone,
- 9:19Speaker 1: and so instinctively he's thinking, all the killers nearby, they
- 9:22Speaker 1: must have grabbed the body. He reaches for his gun
- 9:25Speaker 1: and his holster's empty, and so now it's like truly
- 9:28Speaker 1: a nightmare scenario for for Reed. He was supposed to
- 9:31Speaker 1: be here to watch the crime scene, and he allowed
- 9:34Speaker 1: the body to be taken, and he's been disarmed. Now,
- 9:37Speaker 1: Fortunately he had his you know, service knife, and he
- 9:40Speaker 1: pulled that out. That's all he's got at this point.
- 9:42Speaker 1: But he's thinking, I'm screwed, Like what happened? Where did
- 9:46Speaker 1: it go? Where'd the body go? Where'd my gun go?
- 9:48Speaker 1: What do I do? And so he starts thinking, well,
- 9:50Speaker 1: wait a minute, maybe an animal came by and grabbed
- 9:53Speaker 1: the body and dragged the body, and it's nearby, and
- 9:55Speaker 1: he's sort of like looking up and down the beach
- 9:57Speaker 1: and he's thinking, you know, it could be pretty far away,
- 9:59Speaker 1: but he there's no drag marks. There's no way the
- 10:02Speaker 1: body could have been dragged by an animal. And then
- 10:05Speaker 1: also when an animal came back and unclipped his holster
- 10:07Speaker 1: and took his gun out and took that away. That
- 10:09Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. He would have at least woken
- 10:11Speaker 1: up if that was happening. But then he said, well,
- 10:14Speaker 1: wait a minute. Maybe a wave came up and grabbed
- 10:16Speaker 1: the body and dragged it into the ocean. That's why
- 10:19Speaker 1: it's not here, that's why there's no drag marks. But
- 10:21Speaker 1: he looked at where he was sleeping, and almost certainly
- 10:24Speaker 1: if the body had been struck with a big wave
- 10:26Speaker 1: that dragged it into the ocean, Faried would have been
- 10:29Speaker 1: hit by that same wave and he would have woken up.
- 10:31Speaker 1: And then also again who took his gun? And so
- 10:34Speaker 1: the realization hit far Reed that the only explanation here
- 10:38Speaker 1: is a person came over here while I was asleep,
- 10:41Speaker 1: took the body, took my gun, and now they're gone.
- 10:44Speaker 1: So the night before Fared the officer who was left
- 10:48Speaker 1: on the beach to guard the scene, the one who
- 10:50Speaker 1: fell asleep Farid. His cousin, a man named Habid Jabet,
- 10:55Speaker 1: had been walking along the beach alone when he had
- 10:57Speaker 1: been attacked. This man had robbed him and then killed
- 11:01Speaker 1: him and decapitated him, and he had left Habid's body
- 11:04Speaker 1: on the shore, but he had taken his head and
- 11:07Speaker 1: the money had stolen from him back to his home.
- 11:10Speaker 1: But several hours later, the killer realized maybe it had
- 11:14Speaker 1: been a mistake to leave so much evidence behind, namely
- 11:18Speaker 1: leaving behind the headless body. Maybe that could get them
- 11:21Speaker 1: in trouble. So they decide, Okay, I'm going to go
- 11:23Speaker 1: back and get the body and bring it here as
- 11:25Speaker 1: well to get rid of the evidence. But when the
- 11:28Speaker 1: killer got back to the beach, back to the crime scene,
- 11:31Speaker 1: he saw the body was now being guarded by a
- 11:34Speaker 1: police officer, and that police officer was for Reid. Now
- 11:38Speaker 1: it's very important that you understand that Farred the officer
- 11:43Speaker 1: had no idea that the body he was guarding belonged
- 11:46Speaker 1: to his cousin. All he knew was that this was
- 11:49Speaker 1: a man who was killed, but because he was missing
- 11:51Speaker 1: his head, he had not been able to identify him
- 11:54Speaker 1: as his cousin. He just thought it was some stranger,
- 11:56Speaker 1: some man had been killed, not his cousin. Now, when
- 11:59Speaker 1: the killer got to the beach, he was about to
- 12:01Speaker 1: turn around because he sees, I can't do anything, because
- 12:04Speaker 1: you know, this officer is guarding the body, you know,
- 12:06Speaker 1: what can I do? But he snuck up a little
- 12:08Speaker 1: bit closer and he realized the police officer for reed,
- 12:12Speaker 1: he had fallen asleep on the job, and so Walfared
- 12:15Speaker 1: was sleeping. The killer did walk up, pick up the body,
- 12:19Speaker 1: carry it off to his house, which was not far away,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and he also went back and he took Fared's gun
- 12:25Speaker 1: out of his holster. All Walfared was asleep. So literally
- 12:28Speaker 1: the worst thing that Faried thought could have happened, that
- 12:30Speaker 1: he was basically duped by the killer while he slept,
- 12:34Speaker 1: did happen. So, after the killer has taken the body
- 12:37Speaker 1: and the gun away from Faried and he's he's back
- 12:39Speaker 1: at his home down the beach, he decided what he
- 12:42Speaker 1: would do is he would start a big fire and
- 12:44Speaker 1: he would dispose of the body that way. He would
- 12:46Speaker 1: burn it in the fire and that would get rid
- 12:48Speaker 1: of all the evidence and he'd be just fine. And
- 12:50Speaker 1: so as the killer is chopping up firewood basically at
- 12:54Speaker 1: the end of the beach, not far from Farid, believe
- 12:56Speaker 1: it or not, he's chopping up all this firewood, Fared
- 12:59Speaker 1: wakes up up in a panic realizing, oh my gosh,
- 13:01Speaker 1: the body's gone my gun's gone. What do I do?
- 13:04Speaker 1: And Farid turns and he sees there's this man at
- 13:06Speaker 1: the end of the beach who's chopping wood. Now, Fared
- 13:10Speaker 1: has no idea that man is actually literally the killer
- 13:13Speaker 1: of his cousin. He has no idea. He just thinks
- 13:16Speaker 1: it's some random dude who lives at the end of
- 13:18Speaker 1: this beach who's chopping wood. But Fared, he's so desperate
- 13:22Speaker 1: to salvage his job. He's gotta find this body. He's
- 13:25Speaker 1: gotta find his gun. He's thinking, man, this guy, he
- 13:27Speaker 1: lives so close to the crime scene. Maybe he saw
- 13:31Speaker 1: something strange. Maybe he can help me find the body
- 13:35Speaker 1: and my gun. And so Fared walks on down the beach,
- 13:38Speaker 1: not realizing he's about to come face to face with
- 13:41Speaker 1: his cousin's killer. Fast forward several hours and Fared's partner
- 13:46Speaker 1: finally returns to the beach, now with a team of
- 13:49Speaker 1: detectives and they're ready to investigate. And Fared's partner, at
- 13:53Speaker 1: first glance looks down to the sand and he sees,
- 13:56Speaker 1: you know, one person standing there next to what appears
- 13:59Speaker 1: to be a headless pot on the ground, and he thinks, okay,
- 14:01Speaker 1: there's Fared, and there's the body. You know, the scene
- 14:04Speaker 1: is the same as it was when I left it.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But when they got a little bit closer, Fared's partner
- 14:09Speaker 1: started to notice something. The body on the ground, it
- 14:12Speaker 1: had the wrong clothes on. They're different than what the
- 14:15Speaker 1: body had on last night. What's going on here? This
- 14:18Speaker 1: discrepancy would be made clear once Fared's partner got down
- 14:22Speaker 1: right next to the body and really got to look
- 14:24Speaker 1: at it. He saw clearly the body is not the
- 14:28Speaker 1: same as the night before. It's not just the clothes.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Fared's partner didn't know this, but it's not Fared's cousin.
- 14:32Speaker 1: That's not who this is. But the body also did
- 14:35Speaker 1: not belong to Fared either, Fared was standing right next
- 14:39Speaker 1: to the body. In fact, it would turn out really
- 14:42Speaker 1: nothing about the scene that Fared's partner found on the
- 14:44Speaker 1: beach that morning was what it appeared to be at
- 14:47Speaker 1: first glance. He and the rest of the team had
- 14:49Speaker 1: to spend the rest of the morning searching the beach
- 14:52Speaker 1: and the entire neighboring village and conducting countless interviews with
- 14:55Speaker 1: potential witnesses to finally put it all together and make
- 14:58Speaker 1: sense of it. By the end of that day. The
- 15:01Speaker 1: story that they managed to put together was so totally
- 15:05Speaker 1: bizarre that it made headlines all over the world because
- 15:09Speaker 1: Farred was so desperate to keep his job. When he
- 15:13Speaker 1: walked down the beach to go talk to that man
- 15:15Speaker 1: chopping wood to see if he knew anything about what
- 15:17Speaker 1: happened to the body. Where did it go? Did you
- 15:18Speaker 1: see anything? Strange? As he was talking to this guy again,
- 15:22Speaker 1: not knowing it is literally the killer, the killer of
- 15:25Speaker 1: your cousin. Farid doesn't know this. He thinks it's a
- 15:28Speaker 1: complete stranger. Fared starts having this idea. He's like, well,
- 15:31Speaker 1: wait a minute, I have my knife. What if I
- 15:35Speaker 1: kill this man no one's here, cut his head off
- 15:39Speaker 1: and put his body over there, no one I'll know.
- 15:42Speaker 1: I'll replace the body. And so that's what Farid did.
- 15:45Speaker 1: He murdered this man, believing it was just some random
- 15:47Speaker 1: guy to save his job. He's standing there when the
- 15:51Speaker 1: partner comes down and he's like, look, I guarded the body,
- 15:54Speaker 1: but it wasn't the body. It was a guy he
