Speaker 1: Today's story comes out of China, and it is a
0:02
Speaker 1: brutal story. There's just no way to tell it without
0:05
Speaker 1: being sort of graphic. So with that mind, this is
0:08
Speaker 1: definitely a mature audience's only type of story. That said,
0:13
Speaker 1: it is a fascinating story and the ending is something
0:16
Speaker 1: that very few of you are going to see coming.
0:18
Speaker 1: It's going to feel kind of predictable throughout most of
0:20
Speaker 1: the story and then it's like the end completely changes
0:23
Speaker 1: your impression of the story. But before we get into
0:26
Speaker 1: that story, if you're a fan of the strange, dark
0:28
Speaker 1: and mysterious delivered in story format, then you come to
0:31
Speaker 1: the right place, because that's all we do, and we
0:33
Speaker 1: upload once a week. So if that's of interest to you,
0:36
Speaker 1: please offer to powerwash the like Button's house, but be
0:39

Speaker 1: please subscribe to our channel and turn on all notifications
0:51
Speaker 1: so you don't miss any of our weekly uploads. Okay,
0:53
Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. One Saturday afternoon in November
1:10
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety, a twenty six year old kindergarten teacher
1:13
Speaker 1: named Sue Licia sat crying on a bench at a
1:16
Speaker 1: train station in the city of Naha, which is located
1:19
Speaker 1: in northeastern China. Sue had just left her husband for good.
1:23
Speaker 1: They had a bad marriage for a long time. It
1:25
Speaker 1: was very contentious. They fought all the time, and that
1:28
Speaker 1: morning they had gotten into this major fight, and for Sue,
1:31
Speaker 1: it was kind of like the final straw, and so
1:33
Speaker 1: she just stormed into the bedroom, grabbed some things, threw
1:36
Speaker 1: it in a bag, and just stormed out. She was done.
1:38
Speaker 1: But Sue really didn't have a plan for what she
1:40
Speaker 1: was going to do once she left the house, and
1:43
Speaker 1: so she found herself just sitting at this train station
1:45
Speaker 1: doing nothing, just staring at the trains rolling in and out,
1:48
Speaker 1: over and over again. And as she sat there again
1:51
Speaker 1: not knowing what she's going to do, she suddenly took
1:53
Speaker 1: stock of the fact that very few people were getting
1:56
Speaker 1: on and off of these trains, and in fact, the
1:58
Speaker 1: train station itself was weirdly vacant. So the city of Naha,
2:02
Speaker 1: where Sue was was actually fairly small by China's standards,
2:06
Speaker 1: even though there was seventy thousand people that lived there.
2:08
Speaker 1: The city sat at the base of this towering mountain,
2:11
Speaker 1: and then all around the city in the outskirts was
2:13
Speaker 1: basically just farmland with lots of soy and corn crops,
2:17
Speaker 1: and then as you move closer to the city center,
2:19
Speaker 1: there were lots of things you would expect to see
2:20
Speaker 1: in a city, like tall buildings and residential and commercial areas,
2:25
Speaker 1: but overall, Naha was just kind of boring. You know.
2:27
Speaker 1: It's like the city was a city, even if it
2:29
Speaker 1: was small, but there was just not much going on.
2:32
Speaker 1: And in fact, if you lived in China but not Naha,
2:35
Speaker 1: there was a very good chance you didn't know Naha
2:37
Speaker 1: even existed, like it was kind of irrelevant. However, in
2:40
Speaker 1: the last few months leading up to this moment that
2:42
Speaker 1: Sue is sitting at this train station, the city of
2:44
Speaker 1: Naha had suddenly been put on the map, and everybody
2:47
Speaker 1: knew about this city because women from Naha were going
2:51
Speaker 1: missing in droves. In fact, Sue herself knew of at
2:55
Speaker 1: least a dozen women who had gone missing over the
2:57
Speaker 1: past few months from Naha, and as these women started
3:00
Speaker 1: going missing, it was making the news all over the country,
3:03
Speaker 1: and women who lived in Naha were acutely aware of
3:06
Speaker 1: the risks of being out alone, you know, in fear
3:08
Speaker 1: that somebody was going to come snatch them up and
3:10
Speaker 1: take them away. In fact, every time Sue would go
3:13
Speaker 1: to work, she would make sure she would walk with
3:15
Speaker 1: other women, like in pairs, to ensure safety. I mean,
3:18
Speaker 1: this was a really scary time if you were a
3:20
Speaker 1: woman living in Naha. However, the caveat to the missing
3:23
Speaker 1: women was all of them to this point, when Sue
3:26
Speaker 1: was sitting at the train station, had been sex workers,
3:29
Speaker 1: and Sue she thought, you know, in virtue of not
3:31
Speaker 1: being a sex worker and instead being a kindergarten teacher,
3:34
Speaker 1: that somehow she was not actually that vulnerable to being
3:37
Speaker 1: snatched up or you know, whatever was happening to these women.
3:40
Speaker 1: She just felt like it wouldn't happen to her. But now,
3:42
Speaker 1: as Sue sat at this train station, which again was
3:45
Speaker 1: eerily quiet and vacant, she couldn't help but feel like
3:48
Speaker 1: she had made a bad decision being here. She felt
3:50
Speaker 1: like she could easily become the next woman who went
3:53
Speaker 1: missing from Naha, and so Sue began to think, you know,
3:55
Speaker 1: maybe I should just go back home and try to
3:57
Speaker 1: patch things up with my husband mostly or her safety,
4:00
Speaker 1: just to go back inside her home and be safe again.
4:03
Speaker 1: But before she could stand up to do that, she
4:06
Speaker 1: noticed on the other end of the platform this man
4:08
Speaker 1: who was exceptionally well dressed with this beautiful brown woolf
4:11
Speaker 1: coat and fancy pants. He looked like he stepped straight
4:14
Speaker 1: out of a fashion magazine. He came up onto the
4:16
Speaker 1: train platform and without saying a word, he walked slowly
4:19
Speaker 1: down the platform all the way to where Sue was,
4:21
Speaker 1: and he reached into his pocket and he held out
4:23
Speaker 1: a tissue to her because he saw she was crying.
4:26
Speaker 1: And Sue, she's looking up at the sky and again
4:28
Speaker 1: there's nobody else here, and she's very much on edge,
4:31
Speaker 1: and she doesn't know what to do. I mean, it
4:33
Speaker 1: was already creepy that this place was vacant, but it's
4:35
Speaker 1: even stranger to have a random man come up to
4:38
Speaker 1: her and try to initiate some sort of interaction with her.
4:41
Speaker 1: It just felt wrong and weird and very suspicious. But
4:44
Speaker 1: as Sue stared at the sky trying to figure out
4:46
Speaker 1: what his angle was, she could see that he had
4:48
Speaker 1: kind of kept himself standing back from her, kind of
4:51
Speaker 1: a respectful distance, you know, not trying to crowd her out,
4:53
Speaker 1: and he was looking at her with a very sympathetic
4:55
Speaker 1: look on his face, and he's holding this tissue out
4:58
Speaker 1: and he said to her, are you okay? Hands the
5:00
Speaker 1: tissue again, like please take it. And there was just
5:02
Speaker 1: something about this guy that felt very sincere, and Sue
5:05
Speaker 1: kind of let her guard down and she accepted the
5:07
Speaker 1: tissue and wiped the tears from her eyes. She didn't
5:10
Speaker 1: say anything, and then this guy, he said, hey, do
5:12
Speaker 1: you mind if I sit with you? And at this
5:14
Speaker 1: point Sue said, yeah, okay, you can sit down. And
5:16
Speaker 1: so this very handsome, well dressed man took a seat
5:18
Speaker 1: next to Sue, not right next to her, again, respectful
5:21
Speaker 1: distance from her, and again he asked her, you know, hey,
5:24
Speaker 1: are you doing okay? And for Sue, whose life had
5:26
Speaker 1: been basically miserable the last few months or even years
5:29
Speaker 1: with this terrible marriage she was in, you know, she
5:32
Speaker 1: wasn't used to being asked if she was okay, and
5:35
Speaker 1: this man who she didn't know, had caught her at
5:37
Speaker 1: this very vulnerable moment in her life, and it was
5:40
Speaker 1: like all her emotions just came pouring out and she
5:42
Speaker 1: began sobbing hysterically, telling this guy that no, she was
5:46
Speaker 1: not okay. Her life was in ruins. She had just
5:49
Speaker 1: abandoned her family and she had no idea what she
5:51
Speaker 1: was going to do. And finally, when Sue stopped telling
5:54
Speaker 1: this guy all about her problems, she felt very embarrassed
5:57
Speaker 1: and kind of looked up at him like she was
5:58
Speaker 1: sorry for even saying as much. But the man who
6:01
Speaker 1: was very intently listening, he was just nodding along, very sympathetic,
6:04
Speaker 1: and he told Sue that his name was Gia Gia
6:06
Speaker 1: Wang and that he was a director at a factory
6:09
Speaker 1: not far from here, and if she was open to it,
6:11
Speaker 1: he'd be happy to think about hiring her at the factory,
6:14
Speaker 1: you know, give her a new start potentially, because it
6:16
Speaker 1: seemed like that's what she really needed. And then he
6:18
Speaker 1: asked her if she wanted to come back to his
6:20
Speaker 1: house to discuss this job opportunity further. Now, with this,
6:24
Speaker 1: even though Sue had really appreciated everything this guy had
6:27
Speaker 1: done to this point, the second he asked her to
6:30
Speaker 1: come back to his house, She's like, red flags are
6:32
Speaker 1: going up. She knew there's something off here. Clearly, this
6:35
Speaker 1: guy does have an angle and it's not to benefit me.
6:38
Speaker 1: And so she looked at him with an absolutely suspicious look, like,
6:41
Speaker 1: no way am I going to your house. I don't
6:42
Speaker 1: know you, Like, I appreciate the tissue and you let
6:45
Speaker 1: me cry, but there's no way. But again, as she's
6:48
Speaker 1: staring at him with a suspicious look, the look on
6:50
Speaker 1: Gia's face remained very sympathetic and very gentle, and it
6:54
Speaker 1: almost seemed like he was just going to get up
6:56
Speaker 1: and go like, hey, I'm sorry for offending you. But
6:58
Speaker 1: before he did get up to leave, who said, hold on, actually, yes,
7:02
Speaker 1: I'll come with you. She didn't know why she agreed
7:04
Speaker 1: to go with him. Maybe it was because her life
7:06
Speaker 1: was so messed up at this point that she was
7:08
Speaker 1: just kind of ready to take chances and be sort
7:10
Speaker 1: of reckless, and this was definitely that big chance, very reckless.
7:14
Speaker 1: But again, she just felt like, you know, there's something
7:16
Speaker 1: sincere about this guy, and she felt like she could
7:19
Speaker 1: trust him. And so Sue and Gia stood up and
7:22
Speaker 1: together they walked down the train platform, not saying much.
7:25
Speaker 1: They went downstairs, they went out to the street, and
7:27
Speaker 1: they walked a couple of blocks to where Gea's street was,
7:30
Speaker 1: and as soon as they turned the corner and he
7:32
Speaker 1: showed Sue which house was his. Sue looked up, and
7:35
Speaker 1: whatever hesitation she had had still to that point about
7:38
Speaker 1: following the stranger to his house were gone, because she
7:41
Speaker 1: saw his house was beautiful. It wasn't that it was
7:43
Speaker 1: so grand or anything. It totally fit with the neighborhood,
7:46
Speaker 1: but it was very well maintained and totally felt on
7:49
Speaker 1: brand for a guy who was so well dressed and
7:52
Speaker 1: so well manicured, and frankly, so handsome. So Gia led
7:55
Speaker 1: the way to the front door of his house. He
7:56
Speaker 1: unlocked the door, he opened it up, and then he
7:58
Speaker 1: gently gestured for Sue to come on inside, and so
8:01
Speaker 1: she did. She walked past him. Gia followed her in,
8:04
Speaker 1: and the two of them took off their shoes and
8:06
Speaker 1: made their way into the kitchen, where Gia brewed some
8:08
Speaker 1: tea for them, and then they both sat down and
8:10
Speaker 1: began to sip their tea and talk about this job opportunity.
8:14
Speaker 1: And so for a few minutes, you know, Gia is
8:15
Speaker 1: telling Sue all about the role and what she might
8:17
Speaker 1: be doing, and Sue is kind of asking general questions
8:20
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, for the most part, she
8:22
Speaker 1: just kind of enjoyed being in the presence of somebody
8:24
Speaker 1: who seemed to care about her. But after she finished
8:27
Speaker 1: her entire glass of tea, suddenly Jia, who had been
8:30
Speaker 1: talking this whole time about the factory, just stopped. It
8:34
Speaker 1: was like he was waiting for her to drink that
8:36
Speaker 1: entire drink, And as soon as she was done with
8:37
Speaker 1: her cup, Gia again he went quiet and just stared
8:40
Speaker 1: at Sue with this kind of sinister look on his face,
8:43
Speaker 1: like he was very pleased with what was going on.
8:45
Speaker 1: And at that point, Sue looked down at her tea
8:47
Speaker 1: cup and then back at Gia. Then suddenly she began
8:50
Speaker 1: to feel very drowsy. It was like a vision was
8:52
Speaker 1: beginning to go and she realized Jia clearly had poisoned her.
8:57
Speaker 1: There was something inside of her tea, and so before
8:59
Speaker 1: she could do anything, everything went black. A couple of
9:03
Speaker 1: weeks later, just a few blocks away from where Sue
9:05
Speaker 1: met Jia at the train station, a police officer named
9:08
Speaker 1: Jeong was standing behind his desk at the police station
9:11
Speaker 1: when a very concerned looking elderly couple came inside. Now
9:15
Speaker 1: this couple was here to speak with Jong about a
9:17
Speaker 1: missing person, but the missing person was not Sue she
9:20
Speaker 1: had been missing for two weeks now. Nobody had seen her,
9:23
Speaker 1: but no one had reported her missing. Her husband had
9:26
Speaker 1: just assumed that Sue had left him and that's why
9:28
Speaker 1: he hadn't seen her, and so he had naturally not
9:30
Speaker 1: reported that. And again nobody else knew she was missing.
9:34
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. Officer Jeong has no idea
9:37
Speaker 1: about Sue and Jia, none of it. But when this
9:40
Speaker 1: elderly couple came in to make a missing person report,
9:43
Speaker 1: Officer Jong was not the least bit surprised. It was
9:46
Speaker 1: now December of nineteen ninety and over the past six months,
9:50
Speaker 1: twenty women out of Naha had suddenly gone missing. Remember,
9:53
Speaker 1: Sue is not one of those twenty. The twenty are
9:56
Speaker 1: mostly sex workers who went missing at that same train
9:58
Speaker 1: station where Sue met Gia, and so Officer Jong was
10:02
Speaker 1: used to making all these missing person reports. But candidly,
10:05
Speaker 1: the police actually felt, like, you know, because these were
10:08
Speaker 1: sex workers that were going missing, they weren't sure if
10:11
Speaker 1: they were actually being abducted or if they were simply
10:14
Speaker 1: getting on a train and kind of leaving town to
10:16
Speaker 1: go work somewhere else. And so really there wasn't a
10:18
Speaker 1: whole lot of investigation happening to figure out why so
10:22
Speaker 1: many of these women were going missing. But again, Officer Jeong,
10:24
Speaker 1: he's not surprised that they're telling him they want to
10:27
Speaker 1: file a missing person report. But when Jong took this
10:30
Speaker 1: elderly couple to an interview room to talk to them
10:32
Speaker 1: about whoever was missing in their lives. When this couple spoke,
10:35
Speaker 1: Officer Jeong knew this was different because the couple was
10:39
Speaker 1: not reporting another missing woman from Naha who also happened
10:42
Speaker 1: to be a sex worker. Instead, they were reporting that
10:45
Speaker 1: a man was missing, a businessman. However, the details of
10:49
Speaker 1: his disappearance sounded eerily similar to all these sex working
10:52
Speaker 1: women who had also gone missing. This guy was last
10:55
Speaker 1: seen at that same train station where Sue had met Gia,
10:58
Speaker 1: and then nobody had seen and so that's why they
11:01
Speaker 1: were here. And so Officer Jeong he wrote up their
11:03
Speaker 1: report and then he told the couple that you know,
11:05
Speaker 1: very likely this man is okay and they'll show up
11:08
Speaker 1: at some point under his own steam. But he told
11:10
Speaker 1: them the police would look into it and they'd be
11:12
Speaker 1: in touch. However, as this couple got up and turned
11:15
Speaker 1: around and left, Officer Jean couldn't help but feel like
11:18
Speaker 1: this missing man and all these missing women went missing
11:22
Speaker 1: from the same place, and it's the same city, and
11:25
Speaker 1: it's the same pattern over and over again. But now
11:27
Speaker 1: we have a man. And even though Jeong wanted to
11:29
Speaker 1: write it off as an anomaly, he started to wonder
11:32
Speaker 1: if this missing man was connected to all these missing women.
11:35
Speaker 1: Because by January of nineteen ninety one, so two months
11:38
Speaker 1: after Sue had gone missing without a trace and still
11:41
Speaker 1: had not been reported by anybody, And six weeks after
11:44
Speaker 1: that elderly couple reported that man missing, another five people
11:47
Speaker 1: from Naha had gone missing, two more women and three
11:51
Speaker 1: more men. And so now the police in Naha were
11:54
Speaker 1: looking at twenty six people men and women that had
11:57
Speaker 1: all gone missing very recently out of Naha, and nobody
12:01
Speaker 1: had a clue what happened to them. And importantly, because
12:04
Speaker 1: now there were men who were not sex workers who
12:06
Speaker 1: were going missing, the police couldn't just write this whole
12:09
Speaker 1: thing off as, oh, these sex working women are just
12:12
Speaker 1: going to another city to go do their work there,
12:14
Speaker 1: like that was not a possibility anymore. Clearly, something bad
12:17
Speaker 1: was happening, and the police knew they really needed to
12:19
Speaker 1: do a real investigation here so finally, in early spring
12:23
Speaker 1: of that year, the police in Naha formed a task
12:25
Speaker 1: unit and legitimately began investigating all these disappearances. But amazingly,
12:31
Speaker 1: there was like no information, like there was nothing. These
12:35
Speaker 1: people went missing and nobody heard from them, There was
12:37
Speaker 1: no evidence of where they went. There was not even
12:39
Speaker 1: any sign that anything bad happened to them, because no
12:42
Speaker 1: bodies had been found, There was no evidence of really
12:44
Speaker 1: anything happening. All the police knew is these twenty six people,
12:48
Speaker 1: not including Sue, so she would be the twenty seventh person,
12:52
Speaker 1: had been at this train station and then vanished. And
12:54
Speaker 1: that's all they knew. And it got to the point
12:57
Speaker 1: where this story really began to spread around China, and
13:00
Speaker 1: it became like this running joke that if you don't
13:03
Speaker 1: want to live, go to Naha, because everybody assumed there
13:06
Speaker 1: had to be some sort of serial killer or something
13:09
Speaker 1: happening there who was just roaming the streets picking people off.
13:17
Speaker 1: Thank you to Betterhelp for sponsoring today's video. I have
13:20
Speaker 1: a highly addictive personality, and in my life it's been
13:23
Speaker 1: both a blessing and definitely a curse. When I'm focused
13:27
Speaker 1: on a goal, I become totally addicted to it, and
13:30
Speaker 1: as a result of that, I usually accomplish that goal.
13:32
Speaker 1: But when I don't have a goal to pursue, I
13:35
Speaker 1: often turn to alcohol kind of out of boredom, and
13:37
Speaker 1: then that becomes a very unhealthy addiction. It usually starts
13:41
Speaker 1: with a drink or two with my wife over dinner,
13:43
Speaker 1: totally harmless, but very quickly I spiral and begin hiding
13:46
Speaker 1: alcohol around the house and drinking by myself in the
13:49
Speaker 1: garage secretly at like midnight after my family's asleep, And
13:53
Speaker 1: invariably my wife always finds out eventually and we have
13:57
Speaker 1: the same talk every single time, where I promise her
14:00
Speaker 1: ever going to do it again, but the cycle always continues. However,
14:03
Speaker 1: this month, with the help of my therapist, I finally
14:06
Speaker 1: decided enough was enough for my family. For myself, I
14:10
Speaker 1: have to be sober, and so far sobriety has actually
14:13
Speaker 1: been kind of great. Granted I'm three weeks into the process,
14:16
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you you know, this time, it feels permanent,
14:19
Speaker 1: and I really attribute that to working with my therapist.
14:21
Speaker 1: They're really a big part of the reason that I
14:23
Speaker 1: saw just how destructive alcohol is in my life. So
14:27
Speaker 1: if deep down you feel like you do have some
14:30
Speaker 1: big change you know you have to make at some point,
14:33
Speaker 1: really consider giving therapy a tribe because I'm telling you
14:36
Speaker 1: their perspective, which you don't have, is the thing you're
14:38
Speaker 1: likely missing. They're able to show you what's going to
14:41
Speaker 1: happen if you don't make that change. Obviously, therapy is
14:44
Speaker 1: not a one size fits all solution, but I'm telling
14:47
Speaker 1: you it's a great starting point if you're in a
14:49
Speaker 1: similar position to mine. And a very accessible therapy option
14:53
Speaker 1: is a totally online therapy platform called Betterhelp. All you
14:57
Speaker 1: have to do is fill out a quick survey online
15:00
Speaker 1: and then you'll be quickly matched up with a licensed
15:02

15:26
Speaker 1: when really this story had taken hold across the country
15:29
Speaker 1: and was becoming a bigger and bigger deal because there
15:32
Speaker 1: was absolutely no resolution here, police had no idea what
15:35
Speaker 1: was going on, Well, the whole situation got a whole
15:37
Speaker 1: lot worse because now in addition to people suddenly vanishing
15:41
Speaker 1: at the train station in Naha, more people were also
15:44
Speaker 1: going missing in other cities nearby Naha, but all along
15:48
Speaker 1: the same train line that left out of Naha. So
15:51
Speaker 1: more train stations, more disappearances all around the area, not
15:55
Speaker 1: just the city of Naha, but all around. And by
15:58
Speaker 1: the fall of that year, when people had gone missing
16:01
Speaker 1: all the same way from these train stations all around Naha,
16:04
Speaker 1: the police still had absolutely nothing to go on. All
16:08
Speaker 1: they had is here are these people, here's where they were.
16:11
Speaker 1: They vanished. We got nothing else, no bodies, no evidence, nothing.
16:15
Speaker 1: But all that would change on October twenty second, nineteen
16:18
Speaker 1: ninety one, roughly a year after Sue met Jia at
16:21
Speaker 1: the train station in Naha and then drank that drugged
16:24
Speaker 1: tea on that October day in nineteen ninety one, So again,
16:28
Speaker 1: a year after the disappearance of Sue, police at this
16:30
Speaker 1: train station, seventeen hundred miles away from the city of
16:34
Speaker 1: Naha were doing random stops of commuters on the train platform.
16:38
Speaker 1: This had nothing to do with the ongoing investigation into
16:41
Speaker 1: all these missing people. This was just like public safety stuff.
16:44
Speaker 1: But the police were kind of just walking around looking
16:47
Speaker 1: for people who look suspicious and then checking in on
16:49
Speaker 1: them to make sure they weren't doing anything illegal. And
16:51
Speaker 1: on this particular day, at this train station far away
16:54
Speaker 1: from NAHA, one of these officers spotted this very handsome
16:58
Speaker 1: guy and a beautiful brown wolf and very fancy pants
17:01
Speaker 1: and shoes, and he stood out a lot because of frankly,
17:04
Speaker 1: how beautiful he was, and so the police officer saw him,
17:07
Speaker 1: and this very handsome guy looked up and he saw
17:10
Speaker 1: the police officer, and it was like immediately he did
17:13
Speaker 1: something very suspicious. He reached down, grabbed a bag and
17:16
Speaker 1: quickly turned around and began walking away. And at the
17:19
Speaker 1: same time, two other people who were right near this
17:22
Speaker 1: very handsome guy did the same thing. They grabbed bags
17:25
Speaker 1: off the ground, quickly turned around, fell in line with
17:27
Speaker 1: this handsome guy, and began quickly walking away from the police.
17:31
Speaker 1: And so the police obviously are totally suspicious. They'd run
17:34
Speaker 1: across the platform and they managed to stop all three
17:37
Speaker 1: of them, and they turn them around and they say
17:39
Speaker 1: show me your bags, open them up, and the police
17:41
Speaker 1: they would open up these bags and they contain drugs,
17:44
Speaker 1: and so right away these three no, they are caught,
17:46
Speaker 1: but they don't say anything. They just stand there and
17:48
Speaker 1: they're totally silent. As the police are asking them like
17:51
Speaker 1: what are these drugs? Where are you going with these?
17:52
Speaker 1: What's going on here? They're not talking, and so finally
17:55
Speaker 1: the police go, give me your IDs right now, and
17:57
Speaker 1: so all three of them cough up their IDs, and
18:00
Speaker 1: a very handsome guy with the beautiful brown woolf coat
18:02
Speaker 1: and fancy clothes, well that was Giawang, the same Giawang
18:06
Speaker 1: who had gone with Sue into his house and given
18:08
Speaker 1: her the drug to tea. But again, these police officers
18:11
Speaker 1: are only concerned about the drugs. They don't know anything
18:14
Speaker 1: about these guys. They don't know that Gia met Sue
18:17
Speaker 1: and did this thing at his house with the tea
18:19
Speaker 1: that wasn't even reported to police. Nobody knew about it.
18:21
Speaker 1: But these police knew they had caught these three people
18:24
Speaker 1: with these bags of illegal drugs. So they brought them
18:26
Speaker 1: back to the station and began to question each of them.
18:29
Speaker 1: And when they spoke to Gia, Gia said nothing. However,
18:32
Speaker 1: when they spoke to the two other people that were
18:34
Speaker 1: with Gia one of them began to crack. It was
18:37
Speaker 1: obvious they had more to tell about these drugs, and
18:40
Speaker 1: you know, they were kind of holding back tears, like
18:41
Speaker 1: they were very upset. And one of the interrogators, sensing
18:45
Speaker 1: one of these people was prepared to confess to something,
18:48
Speaker 1: instead of really drilling down on them, he was very
18:51
Speaker 1: comforting and he offered them a blanket and said here,
18:53
Speaker 1: you know, take this blanket, relax, it's okay. You can
18:56
Speaker 1: tell me what's on your mind. It's okay. And that
18:58
Speaker 1: just totally broke this person. And they said, these drugs
19:02
Speaker 1: are nothing. You need to see what's in Gia's house
19:06
Speaker 1: That will put these drugs to the side. They won't
19:09
Speaker 1: matter what's in his house is horrible. The next day,
19:12
Speaker 1: a phone rang in the police station in Naha and
19:15
Speaker 1: Officer Jeong picked it up, and it was one of
19:17
Speaker 1: the officers who interviewed these three people with drugs and
19:20
Speaker 1: got this whole horrible confession about what was inside at
19:22
Speaker 1: this guy Chia's house, and he told Jang all about it.
19:26
Speaker 1: And as Jong is listening to this, his eyes went
19:28
Speaker 1: wide because he knew this had to be connected to
19:31
Speaker 1: all these people going missing, like this has to be it,
19:34
Speaker 1: and so as soon as he hung up the phone,
19:36
Speaker 1: Officer Jeong rounded up twenty other police officers and ten
19:39
Speaker 1: forensic doctors to go search Gia's house. And when they
19:43
Speaker 1: got there, the house from the outside looked just as
19:45
Speaker 1: beautiful as when Sue had seen it for the first time,
19:48
Speaker 1: and felt like her reservations about Gia had gone down
19:51
Speaker 1: because of how wonderful his house looked. But as soon
19:53
Speaker 1: as all those police officers and the forensic doctors stepped
19:56
Speaker 1: inside of Gia's house, he wasn't home. There was nobody there.
20:00
Speaker 1: When they went inside, they were instantly hit with this horrible,
20:03
Speaker 1: horrible smell inside the house. Even though things are neat
20:06
Speaker 1: and beautiful inside too, there was something bad inside this house,
20:10
Speaker 1: and the smell seemed to be coming from the basement.
20:13
Speaker 1: And so at some point Officer Jean and the other
20:15
Speaker 1: officers that got to the door, they opened it up
20:17
Speaker 1: and they looked down and all they could see was
20:19
Speaker 1: just this dark room down there, and the smell was
20:22
Speaker 1: so strong. But they pulled their shirts up over their
20:24
Speaker 1: faces and they went down the stairs, and when they
20:27
Speaker 1: got down there, they couldn't see anything. It's totally dark,
20:30
Speaker 1: but the smell at this point was so overpowering that
20:33
Speaker 1: a couple of the officers almost fainted, and so literally
20:36
Speaker 1: they had to leave the house fearing they were breathing
20:39
Speaker 1: in toxic chemicals or something, and they had to wear
20:41
Speaker 1: gas masks just to go back into the house and
20:44
Speaker 1: back down into the basement. And when they got back
20:46
Speaker 1: down there now wearing their masks, it didn't seem like
20:49
Speaker 1: there was anything down there that could produce such an
20:51
Speaker 1: awful smell, Like there was just nothing down there. But
20:54
Speaker 1: eventually one of the officers moved to the middle of
20:56
Speaker 1: the basement, right in the middle, and they realized there
20:59
Speaker 1: was opening, and they looked down into it and they
21:02
Speaker 1: couldn't believe what they saw. And at the same time,
21:05
Speaker 1: somebody upstairs made an equally horrifying discovery because they discovered
21:10
Speaker 1: a videotape, a VHS cassette that contained this horrible footage
21:14
Speaker 1: that effectively explained what was going on inside of that
21:18
Speaker 1: pit in the basement. But to understand that, we need
21:21
Speaker 1: to go back a year to when Sue met Gia
21:24
Speaker 1: at the train station. She went back to his house
21:26
Speaker 1: and drank the drug tea and blacked out. After Sue
21:30
Speaker 1: drank that tea. She didn't die, Gia did not kill her. Instead.
21:34
Speaker 1: She woke up a few hours later being totally confused,
21:37
Speaker 1: and she was immediately hit by this horrible smell, but
21:40
Speaker 1: it was totally pitch black. She can't see anything, and
21:43
Speaker 1: she began feeling her hands around her, and then she
21:45
Speaker 1: felt stone everywhere she touched, and eventually she realized she
21:50
Speaker 1: was in what felt like the bottom of a well,
21:52
Speaker 1: but it wasn't water she was standing in. She was
21:55
Speaker 1: standing in something that almost felt like jelly, and she
21:57
Speaker 1: began kind of touching it to figure out what it was.
22:00
Speaker 1: She could not tell, but she couldn't help but feel
22:02
Speaker 1: like that things around her were kind of moving like
22:04
Speaker 1: they were alive. And then suddenly a lid that clearly
22:08
Speaker 1: sat at top of this pit began to slide over
22:11
Speaker 1: above her, and so suddenly light was coming down into
22:14
Speaker 1: this pit. And at first Sue looked up and she
22:17
Speaker 1: didn't see anything, but then she looked down and realized
22:20
Speaker 1: what was all around her. It was people, dead people
22:23
Speaker 1: and potentially even half alive people that were just stuffed
22:27
Speaker 1: into this big pit that were all kind of decaying
22:30
Speaker 1: or you know, slowly dying or whatever it was and
22:32
Speaker 1: she's just standing amongst it all, and then she looks
22:35
Speaker 1: up and she sees it's Gea, the beautiful man who
22:37
Speaker 1: had brought her here. He's standing up there looking down
22:40
Speaker 1: at her with a smile on his face, and Sue
22:42
Speaker 1: immediately pleads with him to please spare me, don't kill me.
22:46
Speaker 1: And Gia he looks down at her kind of inquisitively,
22:48
Speaker 1: and he says, if I lift you out of there,
22:50
Speaker 1: will you do anything I tell you to do? And
22:53
Speaker 1: Sue said, yes, I'll do anything, just get me out
22:55
Speaker 1: of here, please, and so Gia he reached down, he
22:58
Speaker 1: grabbed Sue, and he pulled up and out of this
23:00
Speaker 1: pit inside of his basement. A few days later, Sue
23:04
Speaker 1: was back at the train station where she had met
23:06
Speaker 1: Gia for the first time, but this time she was alone,
23:08
Speaker 1: and she walked up onto that train platform with no
23:11
Speaker 1: intention of riding a train instead. As soon as she
23:14
Speaker 1: got up there, she began looking around, and then she
23:16
Speaker 1: spotted a businessman who was sitting on a bench, and
23:19
Speaker 1: she walked over to him and she sat down next
23:21
Speaker 1: to him. And we don't know exactly what she said,
23:23
Speaker 1: but we think what she said was something maybe sexually
23:26
Speaker 1: suggestive or you know, something along those lines, and she's
23:29
Speaker 1: holding his shoulders and touching his hand. She doesn't know
23:31
Speaker 1: this man, and this man is very caught off guard
23:34
Speaker 1: by this, but he's kind of going along with it.
23:35
Speaker 1: And before long she takes this businessman's hand. They stand
23:39
Speaker 1: up and they walk out of the train station down
23:41
Speaker 1: to the street, and they make their way a couple
23:43
Speaker 1: blocks over to Jia's house, and when they get there,
23:46
Speaker 1: Sue leads into the front door. She opens it up,
23:48
Speaker 1: she brings the man inside, the door shuts, They take
23:50
Speaker 1: their shoes off, and Sue leads this man into the
23:53
Speaker 1: kitchen where Gia is waiting with a wire between each hand.
23:57
Speaker 1: And as soon as this businessman walked into the kitchen,
24:00
Speaker 1: Gia pounced on him, wrapped the wire around his neck
24:02
Speaker 1: and held it until the man passed out, and then
24:05
Speaker 1: he released the wire. And then Gia and Sue took
24:08
Speaker 1: this man. They lifted him up, and they carried him
24:11
Speaker 1: down into the basement and laid him out on the floor,
24:13
Speaker 1: so he's not in the pit, he's just out in
24:15
Speaker 1: the middle of the basement floor. Then Gia stepped away,
24:18
Speaker 1: picked up a video camera, turned it on and began
24:21
Speaker 1: to film. He was filming the man on the ground
24:23
Speaker 1: and also Sue. And Sue she knew what to do.
24:26
Speaker 1: She was going to do anything she was told to do,
24:28
Speaker 1: so she climbed on top of this still very much
24:31
Speaker 1: alive businessman who's just been knocked unconscious, and she straddles
24:35
Speaker 1: him so she's looking down at his head. Then she
24:37
Speaker 1: picks up a knife and she holds it in front
24:38
Speaker 1: of her, and then she looks up at Gia, who
24:41
Speaker 1: at this point has zoomed the camera in. She can
24:43
Speaker 1: hear the sound the mechanics inside of the camera as
24:45
Speaker 1: it's zooming in on what she's about to do, and
24:47
Speaker 1: then she raises the knife over her head and drives
24:50
Speaker 1: it into this man's chest. The video that Gia shot
24:54
Speaker 1: of Sue murdering this man was the video police found
24:57
Speaker 1: on the first floor of the house. Shortly after police
24:59
Speaker 1: Sad found this horrible pit in Gia's basement. It would
25:03
Speaker 1: turn out that Giawang was absolutely the serial killer who
25:06
Speaker 1: was responsible for all these people going missing from the
25:09
Speaker 1: train stations. He would abduct them just like he did Sue,
25:12
Speaker 1: and he would bring them to his house and then
25:14
Speaker 1: he would do horrible horrible things to them, and eventually
25:17
Speaker 1: he would chuck their bodies into this pit. And so
25:19
Speaker 1: when he abducted Sue, he actually thought that when he
25:22
Speaker 1: drugged her, then he had killed her, and he had
25:24
Speaker 1: chucked her into the pit believing she was dead. But
25:27
Speaker 1: when Sue had woken up inside of that pit, when
25:30
Speaker 1: he opened it up and looked down and there she
25:31
Speaker 1: was fully alive, he had an idea, well, why don't
25:35
Speaker 1: I turn Sue into a murderer like me. She can
25:37
Speaker 1: help me. And so that was the condition for her
25:39
Speaker 1: being pulled out of this pit, that she would assist
25:42
Speaker 1: him in murdering people, and she agreed to do it.
25:45
Speaker 1: And so the reason the profile of victims changed from
25:48
Speaker 1: sex working women to random men is because those are
25:52
Speaker 1: the people that Sue went after. She began targeting men.
25:55
Speaker 1: And so when that elderly couple came in and reported
25:58
Speaker 1: to Officer Jeong that a man was missing, that was
26:01
Speaker 1: Sue's first victim, the man who had been seen on
26:03
Speaker 1: video being stabbed in the chest by Sue. Now nobody
26:06
Speaker 1: to this day understands why Sue actually went along with this,
26:11
Speaker 1: like she was pulled up out of the pit. But
26:13
Speaker 1: then when she was told to go to the train
26:15
Speaker 1: station and find your first victim. It's unclear why she
26:18
Speaker 1: didn't just go to the police and say, hey, there's
26:20
Speaker 1: a serial killer Gia. Here's his house, here's where he is,
26:23
Speaker 1: go get him. For some reason, she just did what
26:26
Speaker 1: he said. And in fact, Sue was not the only
26:29
Speaker 1: person who was brought in to this murdering scheme. He
26:32
Speaker 1: managed to convince three other people, including his ex wife,
26:36
Speaker 1: to also commit murders for him, and all three of
26:39
Speaker 1: those people also had ample opportunity to flee and tell police,
26:43
Speaker 1: but they didn't. All of these people just did what
26:46
Speaker 1: Gia wanted without asking any questions. It was like he
26:49
Speaker 1: had absolute control over these people. That is until that
26:53
Speaker 1: day in October of nineteen ninety one, when those police
26:56
Speaker 1: officers doing a public safety check spotted Gia along with
26:59
Speaker 1: two oc S complices, fleeing with drugs, and they stopped
27:02
Speaker 1: them and they got them back to the station, and
27:05
Speaker 1: one of his accomplices finally broke and told the truth.
27:08
Speaker 1: And the person who told the truth, the accomplice who
27:10
Speaker 1: broke was Sue. She was there with him at the
27:13
Speaker 1: train station. Nobody knew she was missing, and she was
27:16
Speaker 1: the one who, when offered a blanket and was told,
27:18
Speaker 1: you know, tell us the truth, she came clean. Ultimately,
27:21
Speaker 1: it was this police officer's kindness that broke her. Injia's basement,
27:25
Speaker 1: inside of that horrible pit, right in the middle of it,
27:27
Speaker 1: were forty two bodies, twenty four women and eighteen men.
27:31
Speaker 1: In the end, Jia and all four of his forced accomplices,
27:34
Speaker 1: including Sue, were sentenced to death, and they were executed
27:38
Speaker 1: on January twenty fourth, nineteen ninety two. Today, the city
27:41
Speaker 1: of Naha is still just as infamous as it was
27:43
Speaker 1: in the nineties when these murders took place, and in fact,
27:47
Speaker 1: the nickname for Naha is now just Bandit City to
27:50
Speaker 1: reflect what happened there. I want to create a mildly
27:59
Speaker 1: effect mildly effective. I want to make a mildly effective
28:05
Speaker 1: cold medicine made exclusively out of Egyptian fire antswer take
28:09
Speaker 1: his horn off its head, and you beat it to death.
28:13
Speaker 1: Sag out due you die, turned and left, head first
28:21
Speaker 1: out of the glass window. Wow.
28:27
Speaker 2: Yes, gotta put its flippers and began chasing us down
28:33
Speaker 2: the cave.
28:36
Speaker 1: A nice hot my maga mustard.
