  Speaker 2: pictures that are famously associated with them.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: But before I get into today's stories, if you're a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and you come to the right channel, because that's all

  Speaker 1: miss any of my weekly uploads. All right, let's get
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: into today's stories. In early August nineteen forty five, warfare
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: changed forever when the United States dropped two atomic bombs
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: on Japan. These bombs would devastate the cities of Hiroshima
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and Nagasaki, killing over one hundred thousand people. America's goals
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in dropping these two bombs was to hasten Japan's surrender
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and end World War Two, as well as avoid any
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: further Allied casualties. But America also wanted to showcase to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the world, really the Soviet Union that it had this
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: new extremely destructive technology at their disposal. So on August sixth,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: nineteen forty five, at eight fifteen am, the crew of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the B twenty nine bomber Enola Gay dropped the first
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: ever wartime atomic bomb over Horoshima, Japan. At the time,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Hiroshima was a bustling regional hub that served as a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: military communications center, storage depot, and troop gathering area. When
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the bomb detonated over Hiroshima, immediately there was this flash
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of boiling light that scorched everything it touched. The blast
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: burned at ten thousand degrees fahrenheit, and the seventy thousand
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: people that were within sixteen hundred feet of the initial
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: blast radius were instantly incinerated. After the dust had settled,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: five square miles of the city were just rubble. The
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Sumitomo Bank was within that blast radius. That morning, before
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the bomb detonated, an elderly resident of Hiroshima had been
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: sitting on the front steps of the bank waiting for
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the doors to open. They were clutching their walking stick
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and they had their other.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Arm against their chest.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Right as the bomb exploded and when it did, they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: were one of these seventy thousand people that were instantaneously vaporized.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: This Hiroshima shadow, as it's called, is all that is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: left of this person. Their shadow remained on the front
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: steps of this bank for over twenty years before they
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: finally removed that section of the stairs and brought it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to a museum. In two thousand and eight, famous inventor
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Peter Madsen, along with a former NASA contractor, began what
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they called the Ultimate DIY Project in Copenhagen, Denmark. Their
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: plan was to build a rocket ship from scratch and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: then fly it into space. This project made Madsen and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: his partner kind of like anti establishments celebrities in Denmark,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but by twenty fourteen, they still hadn't completed their rocket ship,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and in fact their efforts were stalled because Madsen and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: his partner had had this really public, nasty falling out,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and Madsen had actually left the project and moved literally
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: across the street and set up his own.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Rocket building project with a separate team.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Three years later, in twenty seventeen, a freelance journalist named
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Kim Val who was staying in Copenhagen with her boyfriend
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at the time heard about the rival rocket ship makers
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and wanted to do a story about them. In the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: four years Kim had been a freelance reporter, she had
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: traveled to places like Haiti to write about practitioners of voodoo,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to Sri Lanka to document the tourism that goes on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: on their former battlefields from their long civil war, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to Cuba to follow the underground network of people bringing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: TV and internet culture to the people. Kim was fascinated
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: with what she called the undercurrents of rebellion, and here
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: was just such a story literally down the road from
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: where she was staying. Desperately wanted an interview with Madson,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but he was proving to be very difficult to get
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in touch with, and as months went on and still
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: no luck, she was starting to lose hope that she
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: would ever get to do this story.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But on August tenth, twenty.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Seventeen, the day before she and her boyfriend were planning
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to leave Denmark, she got a text message from Madsen
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: saying that not only would he do the interview, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he would do it that night while riding on his
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: homemade submarine. Prior to being known for his rocketbuilding escapades.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It was this homemade submarine that really put him on
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the map of famous inventors. Kim immediately said, yes, this
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is exactly what she was hoping for, and then some
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the idea that she got to write from the submarine
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: would only add to the story. Before she left, she
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: asked her boyfriend if he wanted to come along, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he would say that he was really close to wanting
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to go, but their friends had thrown them this big
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: going away party because they were going to leave the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: next day, and since Kim was already not going to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: be there, he told her he would stay with all
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: their friends to make sure they weren't too upset, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that she should just go have good time and that he.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Would see her in a few hours when she got back.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Kim leaves their apartment and heads down to the dock
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to meet Madsen. She and Madsen would get on the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: homemade submarine at seven.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Pm, but before going underneath the.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Water, Madson thought it'd be funny to drive past their
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: apartment so Kim could wave to her boyfriend and all
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of her friends that were at this party, and so
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they drive past the apartment. Kim waves to her boyfriend
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and all the people that they're going away party. Her
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: boyfriend would take a couple pictures of her, and then
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Kim would go back down into the submarine. Madsen would
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: follow her, close the hatch behind them, and disappear into
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the ocean. Later that night, when Kim still hadn't returned,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Kim's boyfriend started to get worried that something could be wrong.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They did have a flight very early the next morning,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and so it seemed odd that they wouldn't be back
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: by now, and so he took his bike and he
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: went down to the dock and he just waited for them.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And by one forty five in the morning and still
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: no sign of them. He decides to call the police.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Police launch a search, and all night they're looking and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they can't find the submarine.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: They can't get in touch with Madson.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The next morning, the submarine was spotted near a lighthouse
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and one of the boats that was out looking for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: them saw Madsen climb out of the hatch right as
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the submarine actually sank into the water. So Madson's now
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: swimming in the ocean and the submarine's gone under and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: there's no sign of Kim. The boat goes over and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: picks up Madsen brings him to shore. Madsen would tell
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: police that he started to notice some ballast issues with
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the submarine and he thought it might cause it to sink,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and so he took Kim to the surface and dropped
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: her off at a nearby island. He went back down
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: into the submarine to try to fix the issue.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: He said he couldn't do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It, and he was only able to barely escape before
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the submarine ultimately sank. And if you just go over
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to that island right over there, you're bound to find Kim.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But Kim was never on that island.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: This is the picture of Kim waving goodbye to her
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: boyfriend and to the goodbye party. Right after this picture
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was taken, Kim and Madson would go down into the submarine.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Madsen would offer Kim coffee and cookies and she would
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: sit down in the control area while Madsen would step away,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: go into his room and begin watching videos of women
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: being beheaded on his computer. Shortly after watching those videos,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he walked up behind Kim and beheaded her. One month later,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Kim's torso would wash up on a beach and her
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: head would be discovered in a plastic bag along with
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a knife. It's unclear why Madsen did this, but he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: had previously tried to get other women to take a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: private ride on a submarine with him. Kim was just
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the first person to accept. Madsen was given a life sentence.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy eight, sixteen year old Bridget Geiger was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: waiting outside her home in Ohio for a boy named
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey to take her to prom. She wasn't particularly excited
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: To prom with Jeffrey.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: He was known to be really nervous around girls, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: so she figured it was going to be a pretty
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: awkward date. But nobody else had asked her to go,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and she really wanted to go to prom, so she
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: said yes. When Jeffrey showed up, she was immediately disappointed.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He was wearing this odd ensemble of vest and bow
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: tie as opposed to the standard tuxed that she was
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: anticipating him wearing, and so.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Now they weren't going to match.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: He was also so nervous that he was visibly shaking
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and couldn't pin her corsage to her dress, and so
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Bridget's mom had to come out and put the corsage on.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: After the corsage was on, Bridget's mom would take a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: couple of very awkward photos of them kind of stiffly
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: standing in front of her house before they ultimately got
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in Jeff's car and headed for the prom. When they arrived,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Bridgett wanted to go on the dance floor to see
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: her other friends to kind of lighten the mood because
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: she was not having a good time with Jeffrey so far.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But she did stay with him, and it was clear
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that Jeffrey hated being at the prom, he hated being
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: around the swarming group of teenagers. Bridgett felt kind of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: bad and said, hey, Jeffrey, do you want to go
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: sit down and just grab a bite to eat over
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: at the little.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Food cart they have here. Jeffrey's very relieved.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And says, yes, I'd love to do that, and the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: pair leave the dance floor and walk over to the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: little food court area. As they're about to sit down,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey pulls the chair out for bridget she sits down,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he kind of pushes her in like a gentleman, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: then instead of sitting down with her or he just
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: walks away without telling her where he's going. Bridget assumed
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: he was just going to the bathroom, but after a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: really long amount of time had passed and it was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: clear he had not just gone to the bathroom, she
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: got up to go look for him, and.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So she went on the dance floor.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: She can't find him in the building, and so she
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: goes outside to see if maybe his car's not there anymore,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: maybe he just left, and she sees his car. It's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: still in the lot. When she turns around to go
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: back into the prom, she sees Jeffrey sitting on a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: curb just eating McDonald's cheeseburgers, and she goes over to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: him and she's like, what are you doing out here?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And so he told her that he just wanted to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: step outside and get a couple of cheeseburgers and then
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: come back and he would sit with her while she ate,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but they wouldn't let him back in, and so he
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just went and got more cheeseburgers and thought he would
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: wait here until she came outside. And now that she
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was outside, she couldn't get back in either. So she
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: just says, hey, I'd like to just go home. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: so Jeffrey is mortified and he tells her I'm so sorry.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I wanted this to be a nice evening for you.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry it wasn't. He drives her home, he says goodbye,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: walks into her house, he drives off, and that was that.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Bridget only saw Jeffrey one more time after that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It was about a week after prom, and Jeffrey actually
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: invited her to come over's house for what he was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: calling a house party. And Bridget's like, there's no way
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this kid's throwing a house party. He can barely stand
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to be around just me, let alone a crowd of people.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But she was polite and said, sure, I'd love to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: come to your house party. She gets there and there's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: no food, there's no music, There's like three people there,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and as soon as she walks in, all Jeffrey wanted
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to do was have a seance and communicate with the devil.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: She was so immediately creeped out by Jeffrey's behavior that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: after only a couple of minutes, she just turned around
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and left his house party and did not see him
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: again well until thirteen years later, when she would read
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: about him in the newspaper. Thirteen years later, on July
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: twenty second, nineteen ninety one, Milwaukee, Wisconsin police spot a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: man named Tracy Edwards running down the road in handcuffs.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: They run over to him and they say what's going on,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and he says that a man was holding him hostile
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in his apartment, that he threatened to kill me. I
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was able to overpower him and escape, and here I am.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: The police go to this apartment that he apparently escaped
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: from and they knock on the door. The door opens
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and the police are confronted by this tall man who
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: introduces himself as Jeffrey.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: He tells police this is all.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: A big misunderstanding and that Tracy Edwards is a friend
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of his and I don't know what's gotten into him.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And the police were actually close to believing him. They
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: would even say he was really convincing. But as they're
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: talking to him, one of the officers kind of looks
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: behind Jeffrey into his apartment and he sees on the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: coffee table what are clearly pictures of dismembered body parts,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And so they arrest Jeffrey, and when his apartment was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: fully searched, a house of horrors is revealed. In addition
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to photos of body parts, the apartment itself was littered
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: with human remains. There were several human heads in the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: freezer and the refrigerator, and in his bedroom was a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: fifty seven gallon drum containing more dead bodies that were
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: decomposing in chemicals. There was also evidence that suggested jeff
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was eating these people. Now, Jeffrey lived in a crowded
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: apartment complex, and so other neighbors had complained about this
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: awful smell coming from his room, but he had been
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: able to explain it away and convince everybody that it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: was just some bad meat. However, the most horrifying revelation
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: about how Jeffrey was able to conceal these horrible crimes
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he was committing in the middle of a city apartment
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: would come a few days later. Apparently, two months before,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Tracy Edwards had run out of Jeffrey's apartment in handcuffs
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and flagged those officers down. Another boy had left the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: apartment in handcuffs and was running down the road and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: police stopped him.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: But the boy couldn't really speak, He wasn't able to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: articulate why he was there or what he was doing.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And as police are talking to him, Jeffrey comes running
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: up the road flags the officers down. And thanks them
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for finding his boyfriend they had gotten into a lover's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: quarrel and that everything was just fine, And so the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: police shrug it off and say, no problem, We'll even
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: give you a ride back to your apartment, And so
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: they drive the boy and Jeffrey back to Jeffrey's apartment.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: They watch them go inside and the police leave. But
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: if the police had paid a little bit more attention,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they would have seen there was a hole drilled in
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the back of his head by Jeffrey. He had been
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: pouring acid into this kid's head to try to control him,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and that was why this boy couldn't speak, And as
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: soon as the police let them go back into the apartment,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey killed the boy.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Because Jeffrey Bridget's prom date turned out to be none
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: other than infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Killed seventeen people over a thirteen year period. Just days
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: after this picture was taken of Jeffrey and Bridget, right
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: before they headed off to prom together, Jeffrey would kill
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: his first victim and start that thirteen year killing spree.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Dahmer was ultimately given a life sentence, but was killed
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: by another inmate.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So that's gonna do it. Guys, let me know what
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you thought of.
