• 0:29
  Speaker 1: into today's stories. Late on the night of Friday, September eighteenth,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, a forty five year old man named Lotty
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Barman stumbled down a pitch black street in a small
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: village in central India. The tory was stumbling because he
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was very, very drunk. He and his wife had spent
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: most of the night together out at this local fair,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: having loads to drink and partying, and then at some
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: point his wife had actually broken off and gone to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: her parents' house in another village, but Lotty had decided
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to stay out and.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Keep the fun rolling.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And so once she was gone, Lottori had gone to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a liquor store and had more to drink there, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: then now he had finally decided he had had enough.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: He was extremely intoxicated and he just wanted to get
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: back home. And so as the Tory stumbled down this road,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: he could really only see maybe a foot in front
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of him, not only because he was so drunk, but
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: also because the streets in his village did not have
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: lights and so it was totally dark.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: However, this wasn't unusual for Lotty. I mean, this is
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: where he lived.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: He'd walked the street many many times and knew how
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to navigate without any lighting, and so he just continued
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: walking along, you know, business as usual. But what did
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: strike him as odd is that, you know, late at
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: night here as he's making his way home, he thought
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it was weird that there was a lot of people.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Out on the road. He couldn't really.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: See them because again there's no lighting, but you could
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: definitely hear them, like there was people sort of all
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: over the place. And he also sort of in his
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: intoxicated state, saw some lights that you know, maybe were
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: vehicles sort of moving around so there was like more
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: activity on this road than usual, but at the same time,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: like this is a main road and sometimes there's lots
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of people in cars on it, even late at night.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So this didn't really strike him as odd enough to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: stop and investigate.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: He just kept on walking towards his house.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But as he's walking through with all this commotional around him,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: at some point he goes to step, but instead of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: his foot striking the ground again, there's nothing there, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: suddenly he feels himself falling and he smashes into the ground,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and now truly it's pitch black. He can't see anything,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and he blacks out. The following morning, a group of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: villagers were walking down the same street that Littori had
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: been on the night before, and as they were walking,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: now in broad daylight, they looked up ahead and they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: noticed something odd right in the middle of the street,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And at first they had no idea what it was,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and so they walked closer to it to get a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: better life look. And as they walked up on this thing,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: they instantly understood what it was, and they screamed and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: ran to tell authorities. It would turn out the reason
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Littori was hearing and seeing all these people and you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: vehicles on the street the night before, which seems sort
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of out of place, was because there was actually a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: construction crew repairing potholes in that road. This road was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: known for being very dangerous because of these deep potholes,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and Littori, as he was stumbling along, accidentally fell into
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: one of these deep potholes, smashed the ground and was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: knocked unconscious. And because this work site was so chaotic
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and there was all this you know, movement, and there
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was bad lighting, you know, none of the crew saw
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Littori fall in, and Littori, even after you know, coming
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to inside the hole, was too drunk to get out
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of the hole. And so at some point that night
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the construction crew reached the pothole that Littori was in,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they didn't see him, and they poured molten tar into
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the hole and then rolled over it with a roller,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: all with Littori inside the hole. And so after they
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: were done and moved on to the next pothole, Lottori,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in his final moments, tried to kind of pull himself
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: out of this tar, but he only managed to get
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: his hand up and out of the tar. And so
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the next day the group of villagers that walked down
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the road, what did they see? They saw Littori's hand
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: poking out.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Of the ground.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Lottori's body was removed from the street and he was
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: given a proper burial. There were two construction workers who
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: were on duty on the night of Lotori's death who
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: were ultimately arrested and charged with culpable homicide. As for
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Latorre's family, authorities would give them a compensation payment for
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Latori's death, but it was only worth approximately seven hundred
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and sixty US dollars. Last year, we launched a brand
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: new podcast here at Ballin Studios called Redacted Declassified Mysteries

  Speaker 1: on the Wondery app. Okay, back to the stories. Around
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: two thirty pm on November twenty eighth, twenty fifteen, a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: man pulled into his driveway in the extremely rural city
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of here On, California. He'd been away overnight, and so
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: as soon as he got out of his car, he
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: walked right up to his porch and checked his doorknob
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to make sure his door was still locked. He found
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that it was, which was a relief. Then he unlocked
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it and stepped inside. However, as soon as he was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: inside his house, he just stopped and listened and kind
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of looked around. So this neighborhood that he lived in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: was not a safe place to live. In fact, over
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the past year, this guy's house had been broken into
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: multiple times. However, he had not reported any of these
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: break ins to the police because he himself was wanted
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: for felony drug possession, and so instead of getting the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: police involved, the man had sort of begun doing his
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: own home security. Basically, every time he came home, he
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would sort of take a minute, listen, make sure nobody
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was in the house, and then actually sweep the house
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, nobody was there and that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: nothing had been stolen. And so as the man stood
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: there in his doorway listening, you couldn't hear anything, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: nothing looked disturbed inside.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Of his house. So he flipped on the lights.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: He walked into his living room and put his keys
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and his wallet down, and then he began doing this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: kind of systematic sweep through his house, you know, checking
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to make sure there was nothing wrong, checked the.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Windows, none were broken.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Goes to the back door, it's still locked. You know.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He's in his kitchen, he's in you know, his dining room.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: There's nothing out of place. He did notice, however, that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: his mail that was sitting on one of his tables
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: looked like maybe it had been rummaged through. But at
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the same time, he couldn't remember if maybe he had
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: been kind of sloppy when he had gone over his
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: mail before he had left the night before, so he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: didn't know if the mail was a sign of a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: break in, but it didn't seem like it. And so,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: after completing his sweep and feeling confident that the house
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was in good order. He sat down and he relaxed,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and he felt like, you know what, it had been
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a while since the last break in, and maybe he
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was being a bit too paranoid, but for now, he decided,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you know, his security protocol was good enough and he
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't make any changes quite yet, and he just picked
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: up the remote, turned on the TV, and settled in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: for the night. However, after only a couple of minutes,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the man realized his house was pretty cold and he
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was starting to shiver, so he stood up, and he
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: walked over and he turned on his heat and then
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he sat back down on his couch, and then about
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a minute later, this awful, high pitched scream ripped through
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the house. It would turn out the homeowner's paranoid around
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: break ins was totally justified, because the night before, while
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he was gone, someone had tried to break into his home.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Nineteen year old Cody Caldwell had snuck onto the roof
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and attempted to enter this man's house.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Through the chimney, but he got stuck about halfway down.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And when the man came home and did his safety
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: patrol and checked his house and couldn't hear or see anything.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: What he didn't realize was Cody was still absolutely stuck
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in the chimney and alive.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: He just wasn't making any sound.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And then when the homeowner got cold and turned on
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the heat, what he literally did was he started an
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: actual fire in his fireplace. And after setting this fire, Cody,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: who's wedged in the chimney right above this fire, began
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: breathing in the smoke, and in his panic, he began
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to wiggle around and sink further and further down into
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: this chimney, which is angled, and so he would have
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: gotten more and more stuck until he was basically in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the fire and then caught on fire. The scream was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: him burning alive inside at the chimney, and the man
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: who owned the house.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Had no idea what was going on. He just heard
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: these screams.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And then finally when he got the fire put out
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and he called the police and the first responders showed up,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it was already too late, because Cody had died from
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: severe burns and smoke in elation. On the evening of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: January nineteenth, twenty twenty two, a forty year old mother
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: named Anna Uskova set up a camera and some lights
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: at the edge of a clearing in the woods in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Saint Petersburg, Russia. Then she focused the camera on the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: spot in the clearing where she, her husband, and her
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: children were about to perform a very important religious ceremony.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So to set the scene here, it was late at night,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: so it's dark, it was snowing. I mean, it's totally freezing.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: This is the dead of winter out in the middle
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of Russia. I mean, this is a cold environment. But
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: this is when this ceremony was done in the dead
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of winter all over Russia. This was not just something
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Anna's family was doing. This is like a Russian thing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: On this day, all over the country, people would perform
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this sort of purification ritual that was designed to revitalize
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: their bodies and souls and help them ward off evil
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: spirits for the new year. Now. Typically, Anna and her
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: family would perform this big ceremony in a group setting
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with their church, but this year Anna decided she wanted
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to hold this ceremony privately, with just her family, kind
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of out.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: In the woods by themselves.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It would be more intimate and the kids would feel
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a bit more involved than they normally did. And so
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: far it was going great, they had found the perfect location.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: It was stunningly beautiful. I mean, it really felt like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the best place to perform this ceremony. But it was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: kind of odd that when they got there there was
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: no other families there. I mean, they had this place
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to themselves, which was just crazy.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: But they thought, great, this is even better for us.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: This is going to be the perfect ceremony.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: While anna husband finished prepping everything they would need, Anna
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: hip he chord on the camera and then Anna walked
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: out from behind the camera and you see her come
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in to frame and she walks over to her kids.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And now her kids are going to be performing this
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: ritual the same way Anna and her husband would be.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And it's clear they're pretty nervous now they've done this before,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: but still like this ritual is not very comfortable.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel very good at least in the moment.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And so Anna knew this, and so she knelt down
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: with her kids and she kind of reassured them that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they were brave, they were courageous, they could do this,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and she was going to go first, and they could
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: see that. You know, once mom did it, they would
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: know that they could do it too. And so at
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: some point, after kind of giving her kids a pep talk,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Anna stood up. She walked over to the area that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: was designated for this ceremony, and then as the camera's rolling,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: she stood there, she drew a cross on her chest,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: then she stepped forward and kind of jumped feet first
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and then disappeared. One second passed with no sign of Anna,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and that was okay, But then two seconds past and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: there was still no sign of Anna, and then three
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: seconds passed and still no Anna, and at that point
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: her husband and her kids began to scream. So what
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Anna and her family didn't understand, or at a minimum,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: just did not fully appreciate, was that when they did
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: this ceremony with their church every year, the church took
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of effort to make sure the location they
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: chose for the ceremony that it was totally safe, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on top of that, they often had medical personnel on
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: standby just in case. But Anna and her family had
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not done either.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Of those things.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: The location they chose was no doubt stunningly beautiful, but
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the reason it was deserted is it was a terrible
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: spot for this ceremony. And then also they didn't have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: any medical personnel on standby. The ceremony that Anna and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: her family were taking part in is known as the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Russian Orthodox Epiphany, and it's a type of baptism. Basically,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: people all over Russia at this time of the year
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: will carve a cross shaped hole in the ice over
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a body of water, and then one by one they'll
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: jump into the water and then emerge again baptized, purified.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And so Anna and her family had done that, They
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: had carved the cross in this frozen body of water.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But the reason this spot was a terrible spot to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: do this ceremony and why it was totally deserted, is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because they had chosen a raging river that yes, it's frozen,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: but underneath that river is still flowing and it's a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: very deep river. And so the second Anna stepped into
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the water feet first, she got swept away, but they
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: didn't have a way for her to re emerge. It's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: all frozen ice, and so the second she went under
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: into the pitch black water, she was gone.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And within a couple of seconds, you know, her family.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Is expecting her to come back up again, but of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: course she didn't, and so they began screaming, and Anna's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: husband actually leapt into the water, but he actually stopped
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: himself really quickly because he felt that current pulling him,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and so he got out and very quickly. You know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a search was launched for Annah, but there was no hope.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: They couldn't find her, and in fact, to this day,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they still have not recovered her body. In case you
