• 1:00
  Speaker 1: One afternoon in late February of 2023, a 26-year-old man
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: named Julio Bermejo walked toward a park in the city
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: of Puno, Peru with his girlfriend, Juanita. They were on
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the way to the park to meet Julio's two best friends,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: who he was finally going to be introducing Juanita to.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: To this point, they knew he had a girlfriend, but
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they had never actually met. And this in and of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: itself was actually kind of odd, because again, these are
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Julio's best friends, and Julio and Juanita had actually been
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: together for a while now. But Julio had sort of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: always been a little hesitant to introduce her to his
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: friends because he knew, you know, Juanita was just a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: little bit different. You know, she was she was odd.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And he knew that his friends might, you know, pick
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: up on that and maybe even make fun of him
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for it. He didn't know. He just he was worried
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that it would cause weirdness amongst the friends if they,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you know, had a chance to interact with his girlfriend.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And so he just kind of kept her secret. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: his friends knew he was dating Juanita. And they just
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: really wanted to meet her. And so they kept pressuring
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: him and pressuring him. And finally, he's like, you know what?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: We'll just go to the park. We'll meet up. I'm
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: sure it'll be fine. And in order to ensure that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this meeting would go as well as it could, Julio
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: had also brought along with him as they're walking to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the park. He had this, this big red cooler and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: inside of it was all this, this rum and some
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: cups and ice and stuff that they could, they could
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: drink while they're at the park. And for what it's worth,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You're not allowed to drink in public in Peru, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Julio knew this, and so he was sort of weary
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of the fact that he's lugging this, you know, obvious
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: case of drinks out to a public park, and he
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was going to be drinking in public, but he felt
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: like it was worth the risk. He would go out there,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they'd have a couple of drinks, his friends would meet Juanita,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it would all be fine. Eventually, Julio and Juanita reached
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the edge of the park, and up ahead, Julio could
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: see his two friends waiting by this crumbling wall within
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the park. So most of Puno was covered in all
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: these old ruins because there was this ancient civilization called
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the Incas who would live there hundreds of years ago.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And so this crumbling wall that his friends were sitting
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: on was quite literally like an artifact, a remnant of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the past. But it was sort of so commonplace in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this area that people didn't even notice them. It was
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just sort of part of the landscape. And so Juanita
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and Julio and Julio's big red cooler full of rum,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they They lumbered their way through the park, dodging different,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you know, ruins that were jutting out of the ground,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: all the way over to the wall where the two
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: friends were. And they actually hadn't seen them approaching. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: so it was only when they kind of just were
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: standing right in front of them that the friends looked
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and saw Julio, saw Juanita. And Julio, right away, he's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: sort of trying to gauge their reaction to Juanita and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to this whole situation. But pretty quickly, his friends were,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know, just pretty cool. And they were interested in Juanita.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And You know, they quickly wanted to learn more about Juanita,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and it was just, like, kind of easy. And Julio,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he opened up the cooler right away. He got the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: cups out. He's filling them up with rum and soda,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and all the friends are drinking. You know, they're having
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a good time. And Julio's like, man, I was worried
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: about nothing. My friends, they think Juanita is great. Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: she's different, but they think she's great. This has gone
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: as well as it could have. And also, definitely the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: rum was helping. And so for a while, all four
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of them were just sitting around this... you know, crumbling wall,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you know, drinking their rum, they're having a good time.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And then at some point, Julio, who was facing his
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: two friends, his friends, they sort of looked up and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they had this look come over their face like they
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: were worried about something that clearly was behind Julio. Sort
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of gasped when they saw it. And Julio, he's like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: oh no, like is it the police? Because they're out
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: here drinking publicly and they're getting a little bit drunk
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and a little bit rowdy, with the exception of Juanita.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You know, she had drank the least of the group,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: perhaps to to maintain some level of decency, perhaps. But,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the two friends at Julio, they were pretty
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: drunk and being loud. And so Julio, he turns around
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and his stomach just drops because, yep, here come the police.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: There are two officers coming over and he's thinking, the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: jig's up. They're going to clearly see that we are
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: drinking in public. We can't even hide it. And so
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the officers, they walk over and, you know, the friends
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: are sort of panicking. They're putting their cups down. And Julio,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he just sort of resigned to his fate here. He's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going to get in trouble. And the officers that come
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: over and they see the cops and they can clearly
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: tell this group of people is drinking. But when they
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: looked into that red cooler, that big red cooler that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Julio had brought along, when they saw what was in there,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they backed up and they told Julio to stay right
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: where he was. So Julio and Juanita had actually been
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: together for years. And despite his insecurities about her, about
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: their relationship, he was ultimately pretty eager for his friends
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to finally meet her. But taking her to the park
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that day turned out to be a really big mistake.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Because when the police arrived on the scene and they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: looked in Julio's red cooler, probably expecting to see alcohol,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: because that's very likely why they approached them in the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: first place, they did see alcohol, but they also saw Juanita.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So Julio was right to be on edge about how
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: his friends might react to seeing Juanita. His girlfriend, seeing Juanita,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: because she was so different, right? That's his concern. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: she was. She was very different than your sort of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: average girlfriend, let's say. Because Juanita was actually an 800-year-old
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: mummified man from the pre-Hispanic era, the period when the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Incan civilization ruled the area. Julio's father had acquired Juanita,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this mummy, decades ago. So Juanita had actually been a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: fixture in Julio's life since he was born. Now, Julio's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: best friends, really all of his friends, knew that, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: his family had this mummy, but they didn't take it
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: seriously when Julio referred to the mummy as his girlfriend. Again,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this is an 800-year-old mummified man, you know, that he
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: calls his girlfriend. They thought it was a joke. But,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know, when it seemed like it wasn't a joke,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: when it seemed like Julio apparently had a real relationship
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: with this mummy... The friends begged him to bring Juanita out.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: They wanted to see this amazing artifact. But they didn't
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: realize that that request, when they finally pushed Julio to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: come out to this park with Juanita in his cooler,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: because that's how he transported her, that that would actually
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: destroy their friend's actual love life. Because Julio was not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: joking when he called Juanita his girlfriend. He had very real,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: very deep feelings for this mummy. He'd even convinced himself
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: that she was like an active participant in their relationship
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and sort of kept him in line, you know, according
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to Julio. He said that Juanita would hold his hand
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and would poke his feet whenever he misbehaved. And so
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: when those two officers in the park came over to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Julio and his friends and they looked in the cooler,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they saw, you know, Juanita, this mummy, partially inside of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: this cooler along with the rum. And so right off
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the bat, Julio and his friends, they're getting in trouble
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for that alcohol. But also, Julio was arrested and charged
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: with the illegal possession of a historical item. But as
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of 2023, there's been no update on this case. As
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for Juanita, like the actual mummy, it was confiscated by
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the Ministry of Culture for research purposes. And that means
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: very likely that she and Julio will be separated forever.

• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in 1984... A man named Dimitri carried a cardboard box
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: down the hallway of this high-rise apartment. building in the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: city of Kramatorsk, Ukraine. And this building was basically brand new.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It was one of a bunch of developments that had
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: been built right before the Moscow Olympics just four years
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: earlier in 1980 as part of a push to show
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the world that the Soviet Union was a very successful
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and prosperous place. So very much by design, Everything that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they had built was very shiny and very modern and impressive,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like this apartment building, and pretty much everybody in the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: area had been really desperate to get one of these
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: new apartments, and Dimitri had lucked out. So a few
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, Dimitri had been notified that one of the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: units had suddenly opened up, and he jumped at the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: opportunity to move in. He and his family had never
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: lived in a place this nice before. I mean, there
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: were brand new appliances, and the building had thick concrete
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: walls with great soundproofing, so they didn't have to listen
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to their neighbors chat or watch TV like they had
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: in many other places they lived before. Like, this was
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a huge upgrade. So today, Dimitri and his wife and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: two sons had basically spent the entire afternoon hauling their
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: furniture in and getting situated because they're like, we want
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to move in here as fast as possible. His family
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was inside the unit now, unpacking basically everything else, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Dimitri was bringing up one of the very last boxes. But...
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: As he headed down the hallway toward his apartment, Unit 85,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he saw a neighbor open up her door right up ahead,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and the neighbor looked out at him. And as Dimitri
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: got closer to this neighbor, he noticed that this woman
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: looked incredibly sad and just kind of tired, like life
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: had beaten her down. She was also really pale and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: very thin and gaunt, and she had bags under her eyes.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And she was watching Dimitri with this strange expression on
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: her face, almost like pity for Dimitri. And Dimitri, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: despite this initial reaction to what she looked like, you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he doesn't know her and this is his neighbor after all.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So he was he was about to stop and introduce
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: himself to her. But right as he was about to,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: she suddenly went back inside of her unit and closed
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the door. The whole thing was just very weird. And Dimitri,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: after the door had shut, he just stood there for
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a second. wondering if he should knock and ask the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: woman if there was some kind of problem. Like, was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: she okay? But in general, Dimitri was naturally kind of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a quiet, introverted guy, and he very much preferred to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: mind his own business about pretty much everything. So he
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: decided he would just leave the woman alone, which was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: pretty clearly what she wanted anyways. I mean, she's the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: one who shut the door and disappeared on him. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: after a minute, he just walked the rest of the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: way down the hallway. He went inside of his unit.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And he carried this cardboard box that he had lugged
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: up here into the bedroom that his teenage sons were
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: going to share. And when he got in there, he
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: saw his boys were standing up on one of the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: mattresses trying to hang a decorative rug on the wall
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: behind their beds to kind of, you know, freshen up
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the place. And Dimitri, he was glad to see that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: It seemed like his sons were, you know, leaning into
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: making this space their own. And so Dimitri, he set
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the box down and looked around their room. And with
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: all their stuff there, it was already starting to feel
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like home. And he was sure that, you know, despite
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the weirdness with his neighbor, that this has got to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: be the beginning of a really just amazing, you know, new,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: exciting chapter for he and his family. But Dimitri quickly
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: realized that not everything in this building was as amazing
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: as he thought it was. I mean, he'd already had
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that weird run-in with his neighbor. It would turn out
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that was just the tip of the iceberg. Even though,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you know, his apartment and this whole building was undeniably
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: nice and beautiful and modern, basically all of their neighbors
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: were not nice. It was not just that one woman
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: who appeared to be quite rude on that first day there.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It was like every single person Dimitri ran into in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: this entire complex was quiet and sullen and grumpy and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: definitely not interested in talking to Dimitri. And then more
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: than that, you know, you have all these people that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: clearly didn't want anything to do with Dimitri and his family,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: but it was almost like all the time, the entire
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: place was just silent. I mean, there was good soundproofing
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in this building, no doubt. But every time he walked
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: down the hallway, it was like, it was just silent.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Like nobody was making any noise in any of the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: apartment buildings. It was like this weird vibe that sort
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of hung over this whole place. Like a sense of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gloom and doom sort of persisted everywhere. And Dimitri just
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: couldn't explain it. Like of all places to have that
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: feeling be so present. Why here? This is such a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: nice place. But Dimitri and his family, they... They stuck
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it out. They stayed in this apartment and, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: despite how weird, you know, it was, and it continued
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to be as weird as I've described here, pretty much
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the whole time they were there, Dimitri and his family, they,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: they tried to make the best of it. But a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: couple of years after they had moved into unit 85,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Dimitri's older son started feeling unusually tired and weak, sort
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of similar to how the people in the building all
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: seemed to act. And at first Dimitri, Dimitri thought his
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: son was just stressed with school or his social life
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: or something, and maybe he just needed more sleep. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: his son's symptoms just kept getting worse. And when Dimitri
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and his wife eventually took their son to the doctor,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they found out that unfortunately their son had leukemia, which
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is a blood cancer. Now, this was obviously a total
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: shock to the family because, you know, this whole time
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: they'd been chalking it up to, you know, he needs
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: more sleep, right? But to find out it was something
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: so serious, I mean, they didn't even know what to think.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, I mean, Dimitri's son, who
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: had the leukemia, he had always been like a really active,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: healthy kid. So this just felt like it came out
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. But now he had to undergo cancer treatment
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and spend most of his time resting in bed. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: despite doing those things, he just continued to get worse.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: A few months after Dimitri's older son got sick, Dimitri
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was sitting inside of an exam room at the doctor's
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: office with his younger son, who was now also sick.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of the same symptoms as his brother.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: So Dimitri had taken him for blood tests right away, fearing,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you know, he could have leukemia too. So now they
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: were waiting for the doctor to come back with those
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: blood test results to see if that was the case.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And when the doctor did finally come back into the room,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Dimitri could tell by the look on the doctor's face
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that whatever they were going to say was going to
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: be bad. And so the doctor, he sat down and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: said that Dimitri's younger son did also have leukemia. Dimitri
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: was shattered. I mean, he was in complete disbelief here.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: He asked the doctor, like, how is it possible that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: both of my children could develop the same type of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: cancer in the same year? And the doctor said, well,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: there is an answer for that. This was hereditary. The
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: whole family had a genetic predisposition to leukemia. That afternoon,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Dimitri brought his youngest son home and told his wife
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and his older son the terrible news. And Dimitri just
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't help but feel incredibly guilty, like this was all
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: his fault for passing his bad genes onto his kids.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So once, you know, everybody had begun to process the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: news and the sons were both in bed, Dimitri, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: just who didn't know what to do with himself now,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he felt so terrible, he just decided to go out
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: for a walk to clear his head. And so he
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: did that. He went out, he walked around. And it
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: didn't really work. He still had so much on his mind,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: so many bad thoughts passing through his mind. But when
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he got back to the building after his walk, as
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: he approached the main entrance, he saw one of his
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: neighbors sitting out on the steps smoking a cigarette. It
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: was actually that woman that he had first seen when
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: he had moved in, the one who had poked her
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: head into the hallway and then quickly closed the door
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: without saying hello. Since that day, Dimitri had never spoken
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to her. He hadn't even tried to talk to her. Like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it was clear she didn't want anything to do with
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: him or anyone else for that matter. And certainly tonight
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: was not the moment he was going to go, you know,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: talk to this woman. But very much to his surprise,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: as Dimitri, you know, walked right past her and began
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: walking up the steps to go inside the building, she
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: actually turned and looked at him and just asked him,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: is everything okay? And Dimitri was so caught off guard
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: by this that he found himself just suddenly, very emotionally
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: sort of blurting out everything about his son's illnesses and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: how it was all his fault. And as his neighbor
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: listened to him, She didn't seem surprised at all by
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: what he was saying. And when he was done talking,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: she didn't ask a single question about it. In fact,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: she just nodded her head like, yep, that's too bad,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: as if she knew this was already going on, even
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: though there was no way she could have known this stuff.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: And so when it was clear their conversation wasn't really
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: going to go much further than Dimitri just sort of
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: vomiting out all this information and her nodding, and that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: was sort of it, Dimitri was going to go back
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: into the building, but she stopped him. And she did
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: ask him a question. She asked him, do you know
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: anything about the tenants who lived in your unit before you?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: He said, no. All he knew is that somebody had
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: lived there, you know, and then apparently they had left.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: That created the opening and he had jumped to the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: chance to move in. That's all he knew. And so
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: she told him that, well, actually, there's a story behind
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: why this cleared up, why that unit cleared up. She
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: said the previous tenants were a mother and her two
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: teenage kids. And they had all died within two years
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: of moving in. That's why it opened up. And they
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: had died from leukemia. After hearing this, Dimitri couldn't help
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: but feel like, okay, this doesn't seem like my kids
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: got leukemia because this is hereditary. It feels like something
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: else caused my kids to get sick that very likely
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: is happening in my apartment. Like, how is it possible
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that both my kids got leukemia and the previous tenants
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: who were in this unit also got leukemia? Like, there's
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: no way That's just coincidence. No way. And so Dimitri
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: became absolutely absolutely obsessed with this idea that he was
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: going to get to the bottom of whatever was going
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: on inside of that apartment. And so over the next year,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Dimitri made multiple serious efforts to get an inspector to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: come out and look at the apartment. He wanted them
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to check for a gas leak or toxic chemicals or
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: something in the soil. But When he talked to building management,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: they just insisted that they'd already looked into all those
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: things and everything was fine. Like, this is just hereditary.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It's just coincidental. Like, you know, drop it. But Dimitri
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: couldn't let it go. And he kept pushing, asking anyone
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he could to just try to help him figure out
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: if there's some external factor that's causing his family to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: become ill. But it all went nowhere. Basically, people just
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: started ignoring his requests. And Dimitri felt like there was
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: nothing he could do. By 1987, only a few years
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: after Dimitri and his family had moved in to Unit 85,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Dimitri's older son passed away from leukemia, and Dimitri's younger
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: son continued to get sicker. Meanwhile, a rumor began to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: spread around the apartment building and also just across the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: whole area that Unit 85 of that apartment building must
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: be cursed. Two years later, on a cold morning in 1989,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Dimitri came home from the hospital where his younger son
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: was being treated to grab some clean clothes for himself
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and his wife. He and his wife are now spending
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: virtually all their time at the hospital. It felt like
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they were at this point just waiting for their second
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: son to die. That was the direction this seemed to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: be going. And so of course, this is like a
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: really miserable, awful time for Dimitri and his wife. And
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: so when he got back to his apartment and after
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: he got those clothes, Instead of just immediately leaving and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: rushing back to the hospital, which was just so awful,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: you know, Dimitri just wandered into his son's bedroom and
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: just took a minute for himself. He sat down on
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: one of the beds and he stared at that decorative
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: rug that was hanging on the wall, which had been
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: there since the first day they had moved in. The
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: sons had put it up there. And when he looked
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: back at that day, he remembered how excited and how
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: hopeful his sons had been and how he and his
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: wife had been for their new life here. Like this
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: felt like such an amazing opportunity. But that day, that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: move-in day, felt like a lifetime ago. Ever since then,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: nothing had gone the way they had expected. And so
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Dimitri wondered if maybe the rumor was true, that Unit 85,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: where they lived, maybe it really was cursed. And while
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: he was thinking about that, something on the rug, the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: decorative rug on the wall, caught his eye. And so Dimitri,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: he got up and he walked over to this rug
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to get a better look. And at first, he couldn't
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: even tell what he was looking at. But upon closer inspection,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: he knew something was wrong here. And it was wrong
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: enough that he actually ran out of the room, picked
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: up the phone and called emergency services. So when Dimitri
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: had moved in, he'd been so excited that he basically
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: overlooked a lot of red flags. He never asked why
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the previous tenants would leave behind such a great apartment.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: He didn't know it was because they died after living
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: there for a very short amount of time, but he
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: didn't ask. And he also didn't ask about why basically
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: everybody on the premises just seemed so sad and lifeless
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: all the time. Like, everybody acted that way. He never
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: asked about it. And so ultimately, Dimitri's opinion of this place,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of Unit 85 and this building, is that, you know what,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: there can be nothing wrong with living here. I mean,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: this is a modern place. Everything's so new and beautiful. Like,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: it has to be a safe place to live, right?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But it would turn out being brand new and modern
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: was actually what made Dimitri this apartment building so dangerous.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: When this building was constructed, the Soviet government had been
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: in such a rush to show off how wonderful and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: rich the country was in time for the Moscow Olympics
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that they'd made a terrible mistake. During the construction of
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: this whole apartment building, the crew had lost a very
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: small but very important piece of equipment. It was a
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: capsule on a machine that measured the density of soil,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: which they used at the quarry where they were carving
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the stone that was used to build the apartments. Now,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: work had been paused so the crew could find this capsule,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: but the government also really didn't want there to be
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: a big delay here because they wanted to show off
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: this amazing place, you know, in time for the Olympics. So,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: after a week, even though the capsule was still missing,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: they just called off the search and resumed construction, figuring
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the capsule must just be somewhere in the quarry. But
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the capsule was not in the quarry. It ended up
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: embedded into the stone walls of Unit 85. And this
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: was a big problem because that capsule contained a substance
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: called cesium-137, which is extremely radioactive. And so for the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: next eight years, the people who lived in that apartment building,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in particular in and around Unit 85, were receiving constant radiation.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: radiation exposure. That's why all of Dimitri's neighbors seemed sad
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and pale and lethargic. And that's also why Dimitri's family
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and the family before him who had lived inside of
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Unit 85, it's why they got leukemia. Dimitri discovered the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: awful truth in 1989 when he was in his son's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: bedroom and he was looking at the rug hanging on
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the wall. What he noticed on the rug was there
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: was what appeared to be a burn mark. And when
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: he looked more closely, he realized that The burn was
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: coming from the wall itself that the rug was pressed against.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Like there was something in the wall causing this rug
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to burn. And so not really having any idea what
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: that was, but knowing that, you know, something odd has
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: been going on here. He suspected for many years and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: no one's really looked. This seems really odd. I better
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: call the authorities. Well, when he did, the authorities came
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: out and they inspected the apartment. And when they cut
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: into that wall behind the rug, what did they find?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: The missing capsule. In total, six people who lived in
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: this apartment building died, and 17 more were disabled, all
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: because of the radiation in Unit 85. However, despite that
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: being sort of hard facts, nobody was ever held accountable
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: for this deadly incident. On the evening of September 17th, 1896,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a detective named John White dug a shovel into the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: ground outside of a home in Evanston, Illinois. So Detective
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: White worked for the Evanston police. And that morning, the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: owner of the home that he was currently digging in
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: front of had come in to report that he had
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: found bones buried on his property. So White had been
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: sent out there to see if they were human or animal.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Now White had actually already stopped by the home earlier
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to inspect a few of the bones the homeowner had
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: pulled out of the ground. And his initial thought was
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: they were likely just from a deer or some other animal.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: So he was not expecting this to be human bones. However,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: he had still come back to fully excavate this yard
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: because this property was only a quarter mile from the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: former home of the infamous serial killer named H.H. Holmes,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: who had been caught just two years earlier. And H.H.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Holmes had confessed to 27 murders. But the police believed
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that there were dozens or even hundreds more that they
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: didn't know about. So if any of the bones that
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: were found on this property were human, it was then
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: very likely they were connected to this serial killer. And
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: that would be a huge find for Detective White at
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a time when he desperately needed a win. Because just
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: a week ago, a reporter from the Chicago Chronicle had
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: published a very unflattering story about Detective White about how
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: he had bungled a case which had made White Sort
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of like the laughingstock of the police force. It would
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: have been very embarrassing. But more than embarrassment, I mean,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Detective White cared a lot about his reputation. He cared
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: about being a good detective. So he had been looking
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: for a way to sort of get that story out
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of everybody's heads. And he thought, like, what better way
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to do that than to be the detective himself? that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: finds these missing bones, these potentially missing bones of these
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: victims that had never been found. And so White, who
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: he's out here, you know, part of this bigger excavation
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of this property, he takes a shovel and he begins
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to dig. And at some point he hits something hard
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: in the ground. At that point, White took a shovel
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: away and he reached down and he carefully brushed away
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the dirt from whatever he hit. And eventually, when he
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: revealed what it was, it was clearly bone. But more
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: than that, it was clearly human bone. It was an
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: entire human skull. And so White, I mean, he was thrilled.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is like, in some ways, the best
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: thing he could have found. I mean, this is undeniably
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: human remains here. And that was sort of what he
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: was hoping he would find. And there also wasn't much
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: decay or discoloration on the skull, which suggested it had
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: not been buried for very long, at least not more
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: than a few years, which also highly suggested it was
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: connected to H.H. Holmes, who had been caught two years ago.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: And so White, he's feeling really good. Like he's got
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the big find here. This is exactly what he hoped
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: would happen. He knew the medical examiner would obviously have
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to look things over and confirm some things, but it
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: certainly seemed like he had effectively struck gold. And it
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: also seemed like This was going to be White's chance
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to really stick it to that reporter who just a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: week earlier had written that horrible article about him. Now
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: look at White. Look what he was doing now. Nobody
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: would remember that terrible article, and everybody would remember this.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And so White, he stops digging, he wraps the skull
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: in a blanket, and he heads back to the police station.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And when he went in there, who was already inside
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: talking to another officer? None other than that very reporter
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: who had written that embarrassing article about White a week earlier.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And so White, he's thrilled. Like, this is the best
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: case scenario for him. He's got that skull that's wrapped
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: in a blanket. And he made a point of, as
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: he walked down the middle of the aisle of this
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: big room full of all the other officers and desks
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and this reporter, he made a point to really indicate
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that he had something important in his hands. And he
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: was walking with a purpose here. But he really wanted
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: to get the reporter's attention. And so he walks down
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the aisle. He's got his skull. And the reporter, he
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: notices and stops what he's doing. And he turns and
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: he looks at White and he's like, hey, what do
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you got there? And so White, he turns to this
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: reporter and, you know, he stares at him like, I
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: know who you are. I know what you wrote about me.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: But what he does is he unfurls the blanket and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: reveals the human skull to the reporter. And the reporter's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: looking at it like, what in the world? And White's like, yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you know, he's kind of gloating as he's doing this.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I was digging up over at that
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: property about a quarter mile from where H.H. Holmes lived.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: And I think I found another victim, a victim that
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: nobody knew about. Yep, here it is. So there you go.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And the reporter, he's staring at the skull. He's hearing
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: what Detective White has said. And White could see the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: gears are turning in the reporter's head. Like, this is
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a huge story. And the reporter's like, oh, my goodness.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I got to write about this. This is amazing.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you've found this. This is incredible. And
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: so White's like, this is the greatest thing. He's going
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to write a new article. It's going to feature me.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be the hero. And also, how great
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: is it that this article is going to be written
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: by him? Like the same guy who talked bad about
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: me is now going to make me out to be
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: some kind of a hero. This is perfect. The next morning,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: when White walked into the police station, he was greeted
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: with all his fellow officers cheering and clapping for him,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: congratulating him on this huge breakthrough, the find of the skull.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: So that Chicago Chronicle reporter had immediately written a story
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: about White's big find, about finding the skull in that yard.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And it had been front page news that morning. And
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: so all of White's colleagues, everybody had read the story.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: He was, he was the star. And to White's delight,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, the reporter even openly speculated that that skull
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: might even belong to H.H. Holmes' former wife, Minnie Williams,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: who'd completely disappeared a few months after they had gotten married,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: which was a huge revelation because nobody knew what happened
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to her. And it was like, wow, Detective White, you
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: figured it out. You found her. And so Detective White
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: had like the best day of his life. Like this
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: is redemption. Everything is great. Until that night, on his
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: way home from work, Detective White stopped at this very
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: crowded newsstand to pick up a copy of the Evening Edition.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: He grabbed a newspaper off the shelf and he looked
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: at the front page and unsurprisingly, you know, his story,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the Bones story, was still very much front page news.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: But as he read through the article, his stomach dropped.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Then he heard a noise coming from all around him
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that made his blood run cold. It would turn out,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: other than the human skull that White dug up on
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: that property, All the other bones that so far had
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: been found on that man's property had been horse bones.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And more than that, the skull did not belong to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a murder victim. So, unfortunately, White's big breakthrough was not
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: a breakthrough at all. But Detective White, he actually knew that.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: He had known that from the first second he stepped
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: on that property. Ever since that embarrassing article had been
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: published about White that week earlier, he'd become obsessed. not
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: just with fixing his reputation, but specifically with getting revenge
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: on that reporter who wrote it. And this bone scenario
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: had given him in his mind the perfect opportunity. He
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: had come up with this elaborate plan to plant the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: human skull, pretend to find it, and then tell that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: specific reporter all about it in hopes that the reporter
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: would write a completely incorrect story and then get publicly humiliated,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: exactly the way White felt like he had been humiliated.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: But White had underestimated this reporter. Because the reporter, after
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: seeing the skull that White showed him and writing that
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: big article about how this skull could be connected to H.H. Holmes,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: you know, the reporter, he gets that story out the
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: door that morning, it's this big hit. After that, on
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: that same day, the reporter went to the medical examiner
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to ask for more information about the skull. And quickly...
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: He learned about the other bones and he learned that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: this skull very likely was not connected to H.H. Holmes.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: And the reporter began to see that this looked like
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: a setup. He saw through White's scheme. And so that evening,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a whole new article had come out about White and
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: his big discovery. And basically what it said was White
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: was a petty moron who tampered with evidence and thought
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: he could pass off horse bones as for human ones.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: And so White, after reading this story and realizing what
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: a terrible position he was in now, that sound he
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: heard all around him that made his blood run cold
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: was the sound of the other people all around him
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: reading this article and laughing at his expense. Thank you
