- 0:02Speaker 1: disturbing stories, and at the end of each of them,
- 0:05Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you the picture or pictures
- 0:08Speaker 1: that are famously associated with them. But before I get
- 0:11Speaker 1: into today's stories, if you're a fan of these strange,
- 0:13Speaker 1: dark and mysterious delivered in story format, then you come

- 0:33Speaker 1: let's get into today's stories. In twenty fourteen, the United
- 0:49Speaker 1: States Navy decided it was time to decommission one of
- 0:52Speaker 1: their old frigate ships, and so they sent it to
- 0:55Speaker 1: a dock to be broken down for scrap. In order
- 0:58Speaker 1: for workers to actually be able to act that's the
- 1:00Speaker 1: underside of the ship and actually begin to break it down,
- 1:03Speaker 1: they would need to dry dock the ship, which meant
- 1:05Speaker 1: the ship would basically drive into this special locking corral
- 1:09Speaker 1: where the doors would shut behind it, the water would
- 1:11Speaker 1: drain out from underneath, and the ship would be left
- 1:14Speaker 1: resting on these huge wooden blocks that elevated it off
- 1:17Speaker 1: the ground. And with no water in there, workers were
- 1:20Speaker 1: able to get underneath the hall and could access every
- 1:22Speaker 1: part of the ship without obstruction. It's important to note
- 1:25Speaker 1: for this story that when a ship is in dry dock,
- 1:28Speaker 1: there is only one way on or off. It's this
- 1:31Speaker 1: ramp called a gangway, that leads from the dock onto
- 1:34Speaker 1: the deck of the ship. Besides that, there is nowhere
- 1:37Speaker 1: else for you to get on this ship. And if
- 1:39Speaker 1: for some reason you really wanted to get on and
- 1:41Speaker 1: couldn't use the gangway, you could, in theory, try to
- 1:44Speaker 1: run and leap from the dock to the ship. There's
- 1:47Speaker 1: a pretty significant gap there all the way around, but
- 1:50Speaker 1: you could try the jump, but if you weren't successful
- 1:52Speaker 1: at grabbing onto the ship, you would fall multiple stories,
- 1:56Speaker 1: probably to your death, because there's no water in the
- 1:58Speaker 1: dry dock. So this old ship that was being decommissioned
- 2:01Speaker 1: was officially dry docked in July of twenty fourteen. The
- 2:05Speaker 1: first group of people that went on board the ship
- 2:07Speaker 1: to begin dismantling it were military personnel. They were in
- 2:11Speaker 1: charge of removing all of the sensitive equipment before civilians
- 2:14Speaker 1: were allowed to go on board. The military personnel begin
- 2:17Speaker 1: to wrap up and it's getting late in the day
- 2:19Speaker 1: and they tell the foreman who's in charge of all
- 2:21Speaker 1: of the civilian workers that are going to be going
- 2:23Speaker 1: on and finishing this decommissioning of the ship. They go
- 2:27Speaker 1: to the foreman and they say, hey, we're done. We're
- 2:29Speaker 1: wrapped up for the night. Your workers are good to go.
- 2:31Speaker 1: They can get on here tomorrow. The foreman would send
- 2:33Speaker 1: a message to his boss that night letting him know
- 2:36Speaker 1: that they were on track to start work the next day.
- 2:38Speaker 1: The boss would respond and say, hey, can you go
- 2:41Speaker 1: on there tonight and take pictures of all the different
- 2:43Speaker 1: workstations so we know how many people that we need
- 2:46Speaker 1: to place in different segments of this big ship. So
- 2:48Speaker 1: the foreman walks onto the ship and proceeds to take
- 2:51Speaker 1: hundreds of pictures all over the inside of the ship.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Now the ship itself was pitch black inside. There was
- 2:57Speaker 1: no electricity, and it was nighttime, so we had a
- 2:59Speaker 1: flash the whole time. But whenever he took a picture,
- 3:02Speaker 1: he would turn his flashlight off and then use the
- 3:04Speaker 1: flash on his camera before going back to his actual flashlight.
- 3:08Speaker 1: So all night he's going room to room taking all
- 3:10Speaker 1: these pictures, and at some point he realizes he's photographed
- 3:13Speaker 1: everything he needs to, so he leaves. He goes back
- 3:15Speaker 1: to his office, he uploads the pictures, and he sends
- 3:17Speaker 1: them to his boss. His boss wrote back almost immediately
- 3:20Speaker 1: and just said, who's the guy with the axe? Now,
- 3:24Speaker 1: the foreman has no idea what he's talking about. He
- 3:26Speaker 1: was just in the ship by himself for a couple
- 3:28Speaker 1: of hours and didn't see anyone. So he reads the
- 3:30Speaker 1: email again to make sure he read it correctly, and
- 3:32Speaker 1: he sees that his boss is actually attached the picture
- 3:35Speaker 1: he is referring to. Here is this guy clearly clutching
- 3:39Speaker 1: an axe in a hallway that he was just in.
- 3:41Speaker 1: And even creepier is the foreman is looking at where
- 3:44Speaker 1: this picture was taken, and it was relatively early on
- 3:47Speaker 1: in his photo shoot, and he had walked past the
- 3:50Speaker 1: exact area where this guy's poking his head out of,
- 3:53Speaker 1: which means the whole time he was down there, this
- 3:56Speaker 1: guy with an axe was there with him. They review
- 3:59Speaker 1: the security foot of a camera that was aimed directly
- 4:02Speaker 1: at the ramp the one entrance in and out of
- 4:04Speaker 1: this ship, and from the time the foreman left, no
- 4:07Speaker 1: one else left. So they don't know how he got
- 4:10Speaker 1: on or how he got off without being detected, but
- 4:13Speaker 1: somehow he did. In twenty fourteen, Alan Ruby was a
- 4:20Speaker 1: nineteen year old freshman studying political science at the University
- 4:23Speaker 1: of Oklahoma. Despite being relatively modest and soft spoken in person,
- 4:28Speaker 1: on social media, he projected this lifestyle of wealth and grandeur.
- 4:33Speaker 1: He'd oftentimes post pictures of exotic sports cars and expensive
- 4:37Speaker 1: watches and clothes, and he would travel the world to Paris, London,
- 4:40Speaker 1: New York City and take all these pictures showing off
- 4:43Speaker 1: this incredible life he had. He really wanted people to
- 4:46Speaker 1: believe that he was this fabulously wealthy, successful guy. Alan
- 4:49Speaker 1: was only able to project this phony lifestyle on social
- 4:53Speaker 1: media because he was spending his father's money. His father
- 4:56Speaker 1: was a successful businessman who was also the publisher of
- 4:59Speaker 1: a newspaper that was quite successful, and so Alan would
- 5:02Speaker 1: just spend his money. And then even after his father
- 5:04Speaker 1: would give him money, Alan would steal his credit card
- 5:07Speaker 1: and additionally rack up thousands of dollars of credit card debt.
- 5:11Speaker 1: But as media began to shift away from print media
- 5:15Speaker 1: to almost all digital. A lot of newspapers began to
- 5:18Speaker 1: fail because they weren't able to transition to digital, and
- 5:21Speaker 1: his father's newspaper was not making that transition very well
- 5:25Speaker 1: and they were losing money left and right. And so
- 5:27Speaker 1: Alan's father told everybody in his family with a focus
- 5:30Speaker 1: on Alan, that we all need to cut back on
- 5:32Speaker 1: our spending because money's tight right now and it's unclear
- 5:35Speaker 1: if it's going to turn around, so we got to
- 5:37Speaker 1: be careful with how much money we do have. Alan
- 5:39Speaker 1: acted like he was going to cut back on his
- 5:41Speaker 1: lavish lifestyle, but in reality, he wasn't going to. He
- 5:44Speaker 1: was totally addicted to spending money and giving off this
- 5:47Speaker 1: vibe that he was so wealthy and successful. And so
- 5:50Speaker 1: around this time, Alan steals his grandmother's credit card and
- 5:53Speaker 1: secretly leaves the country and goes to Paris to have
- 5:56Speaker 1: this vacation on his own. He's taking these pictures in
- 5:59Speaker 1: front of the Eiffel Tower and he's spending all this money,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and his father finds out that he's stolen this credit card,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and he's furious, and instead of waiting for Alan to
- 6:07Speaker 1: come home and saying don't do that again, he decides
- 6:10Speaker 1: he's going to send him a message that he's going
- 6:12Speaker 1: to remember, and he calls the police. Alan gets charged
- 6:15Speaker 1: with theft. He pleads guilty, and he has to go
- 6:17Speaker 1: before a judge who sees that he has no criminal records,
- 6:20Speaker 1: so he kind of goes easy on him, and he
- 6:22Speaker 1: says that you need to pay back all the money
- 6:23Speaker 1: you spent to your grandmother, and you need to go
- 6:26Speaker 1: to an addiction program to try to break this habit
- 6:28Speaker 1: of yours to stop spending all this money. After Alan
- 6:31Speaker 1: leaves court, his father felt like he finally got the message.
- 6:34Speaker 1: It seemed like it had finally gotten through to him
- 6:37Speaker 1: that this was a really big problem, and he felt
- 6:39Speaker 1: like he had made the right decision in calling the police.
- 6:41Speaker 1: But in reality, Alan hadn't changed at all. As soon
- 6:44Speaker 1: as he got back from court. He was stealing from
- 6:46Speaker 1: people outside of the family. He was taking loans from
- 6:49Speaker 1: loan sharks, all of this just to keep up with
- 6:52Speaker 1: his phony appearance he portrayed on social media. On October ninth,
- 6:55Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, Alan owed three thousand dollars to a particular
- 6:59Speaker 1: life own shark and had no way of paying it back,
- 7:03Speaker 1: so instead of asking his parents for money, which for
- 7:05Speaker 1: him would have been too embarrassing. He decides the best
- 7:08Speaker 1: course of action is to kill his entire family, and
- 7:11Speaker 1: so he strolls into his home and he shoots his
- 7:13Speaker 1: mom dead, he shoots his sister dead, and then he
- 7:15Speaker 1: waits for his dad to come home and he shoots
- 7:17Speaker 1: him dead. Because his big plan is, with his whole
- 7:20Speaker 1: family gone, he's going to become the sole heir to
- 7:23Speaker 1: the family's estate and that will be enough money to
- 7:25Speaker 1: not only pay off this three thousand dollars debt, but
- 7:28Speaker 1: have a little leftover so we can go on vacation
- 7:30Speaker 1: to Paris again. So, after he's committed this horrible crime,
- 7:33Speaker 1: he leaves his family where they are. He goes and
- 7:36Speaker 1: takes the surveillance footage from inside the house it was
- 7:38Speaker 1: on a DVD, takes the DVD out, takes the murder weapon,
- 7:42Speaker 1: leaves the house, chucks the DVD and the weapon into
- 7:44Speaker 1: a lake, and proceeds to drive to Dallas, where he
- 7:47Speaker 1: checks into a very fancy hotel and meets up with
- 7:50Speaker 1: friends and parties the whole weekend. His friends that were
- 7:53Speaker 1: with him that weekend would later tell investigators that Alan
- 7:56Speaker 1: seemed totally normal. There was no red flags, There was
- 7:59Speaker 1: no indication that anything was wrong. He was just laughing
- 8:02Speaker 1: it up and having a great time that whole weekend.
- 8:04Speaker 1: The following Monday, when Alan's father doesn't show up for work,
- 8:07Speaker 1: the police are notified. They go to the house and
- 8:10Speaker 1: they find the Ruby family. When police went out and
- 8:12Speaker 1: got Alan and brought him back to the station to
- 8:14Speaker 1: chat with him and tell him what happened and see
- 8:16Speaker 1: if he knew anything. His sad reaction to his whole
- 8:20Speaker 1: family now being deceased was apparently so insincere that officers
- 8:25Speaker 1: almost immediately assumed that he was probably the guy that
- 8:28Speaker 1: did it. Ultimately, Alan would confess, and the prosecutor wanted
- 8:31Speaker 1: to push for the death penalty, but Alan's remaining living
- 8:34Speaker 1: family members actually said, don't do the death penalty. We
- 8:37Speaker 1: don't want to risk that not happening. We want to
- 8:40Speaker 1: see justice served right now. Can we create a plea
- 8:43Speaker 1: agreement where he gets life in jail. But there's absolutely
- 8:46Speaker 1: no way for him to get paroled, no matter how
- 8:48Speaker 1: good his behavior is, no matter how old he is,
- 8:51Speaker 1: no matter what, he can't ever get out of jail.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And so they did. They created that plea agreement. They
- 8:56Speaker 1: gave it to Alan to sign. He signs it, and
- 8:58Speaker 1: as they're walking out of the courtroom, his last remaining
- 9:00Speaker 1: family members disown him and say, may God have mercy
- 9:03Speaker 1: on your soul, and they leave. This is the picture
- 9:06Speaker 1: that Alan uploaded to his Instagram account just hours after
- 9:09Speaker 1: killing his entire family. They're all lying on the ground
- 9:12Speaker 1: in his house. At the time this picture is being taken,
- 9:15Speaker 1: He's in this fancy hotel room with his friends, and
- 9:17Speaker 1: the caption reads college wouldn't be half as fun without
- 9:20Speaker 1: these two peaches hashtag best friends. One night in the
- 9:28Speaker 1: early nineteen fifties, a little boy named Issey Sagawa was
- 9:31Speaker 1: having this dream where he and his brother were being
- 9:34Speaker 1: boiled alive to be eaten. Sagawa says when he woke up,
- 9:37Speaker 1: he immediately began fantasizing about what it would be like
- 9:41Speaker 1: to be on the other side of that, to be
- 9:42Speaker 1: on the outside with a human inside of the pot
- 9:45Speaker 1: that you're boiling that you're gonna eat, and he became
- 9:47Speaker 1: totally obsessed with the idea of eating another person. By
- 9:51Speaker 1: the time he was in first grade, he would find
- 9:53Speaker 1: himself staring at his different classmate's legs and his mouth
- 9:57Speaker 1: would be watering because he wanted to take a bite
- 9:59Speaker 1: out of their legs. For three decades he was able
- 10:01Speaker 1: to suppress that urge, but in nineteen eighty one, those
- 10:05Speaker 1: cannibalistic urges would get the better of him. One summer day,
- 10:08Speaker 1: while he was in Tokyo, he saw this woman that
- 10:10Speaker 1: he wanted to eat, and he couldn't help himself, and
- 10:13Speaker 1: so he began following her down the road and he
- 10:15Speaker 1: saw her go into her apartment. He waited for a minute,
- 10:18Speaker 1: went around back and climbed in the window, and when
- 10:21Speaker 1: he got inside, she was asleep. He hadn't thought of
- 10:23Speaker 1: a plan for what he was going to do once
- 10:25Speaker 1: he was inside, and so he's just standing there thinking, well,
- 10:28Speaker 1: now what do I do? How am I going to
- 10:29Speaker 1: eat it? What am I going to do next? And
- 10:31Speaker 1: as he's sitting there wondering what to do next, she
- 10:33Speaker 1: wakes up and she screams and he runs away. After
- 10:36Speaker 1: this breaking and entering incident, Sagawa would actually seek help.
- 10:40Speaker 1: So he goes to a psychiatrist and he says, this
- 10:42Speaker 1: is what I did. I'd snuck into her house because
- 10:44Speaker 1: I wanted to eat her. And the psychiatrists would end
- 10:46Speaker 1: up telling Segawa's family that I have to label him
- 10:49Speaker 1: a high risk to society because he's not just thinking
- 10:52Speaker 1: about doing these things, he's already acting out these fantasies now.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Sagawa's father was extremely wealthy and powerful, and when he
- 11:00Speaker 1: heard this from the psychiatrist, he was like, no, we're
- 11:03Speaker 1: not going to do that, and so, using his power
- 11:05Speaker 1: and influence, he was able to kind of cover up
- 11:07Speaker 1: what the psychiatrist had found and he shipped his son
- 11:11Speaker 1: to Paris. Once Sagawa landed in Paris, he enrolled at
- 11:14Speaker 1: the Sorbonne University and began studying literature. Despite having sought
- 11:18Speaker 1: help for his cannibalistic urges. When he was in Paris,
- 11:22Speaker 1: he started having that urge again and he couldn't control it,
- 11:24Speaker 1: and instead of going to another therapist or psychiatrist, he
- 11:28Speaker 1: begins to look for another victim. Sagawa considered himself short,
- 11:31Speaker 1: weak and ugly, and so he was actually looking for
- 11:34Speaker 1: a tall, beautiful Western woman so he could absorb their
- 11:38Speaker 1: energy and somehow become a bigger, better version of himself.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And so he began looking around Paris for tall, beautiful
- 11:44Speaker 1: women that he could potentially eat, but no one seemed
- 11:46Speaker 1: like a good fit until he met Renee. Heartfelt. Renee
- 11:50Speaker 1: was a tall, beautiful, twenty five year old Dutch student
- 11:53Speaker 1: who was going to school with Sagawa at Sorbonne. In
- 11:56Speaker 1: order to get close to her, Sagawa would ask his
- 11:59Speaker 1: father if he would give him some money so he
- 12:01Speaker 1: could hire Renee to be his personal tutor. His father
- 12:04Speaker 1: gives him the money, Segawa hires Renee and they strike
- 12:07Speaker 1: up this working relationship together, and over time, Segawa would
- 12:10Speaker 1: build trust with Renee. They would become friends, and at
- 12:13Speaker 1: some point he asks Renee if she'll actually come over
- 12:16Speaker 1: to his apartment, something they had not done yet, and
- 12:18Speaker 1: she's sitting in his apartment with her back turned to him.
- 12:21Speaker 1: He leaves the room and comes back with a rifle
- 12:23Speaker 1: and he tries to fire it, but it jams, and
- 12:26Speaker 1: she hasn't heard him do this, and so he's standing
- 12:28Speaker 1: there and his weapons now jammed. He hasn't fired it,
- 12:31Speaker 1: and he just puts the weapon away and comes back
- 12:33Speaker 1: out and actually nothing's happened, and he's sitting there wondering,
- 12:36Speaker 1: is this a sign that I'm not supposed to do this?
- 12:39Speaker 1: But at the end of the night, when she finally left,
- 12:42Speaker 1: he decides, you know what, I got to go through
- 12:43Speaker 1: with this. I have to eat her. And so the
- 12:46Speaker 1: next night he gets her come over again. He gets
- 12:48Speaker 1: the rifle out when she's sitting with her back to
- 12:50Speaker 1: him once again, except this time the rifle fires only
- 12:53Speaker 1: for an instant. He felt really bad and thought maybe
- 12:55Speaker 1: I should call an ambulance. But then he stopped himself
- 12:58Speaker 1: and he said, you've waited so long for this, you
- 13:01Speaker 1: got to just go through with it. He immediately tried
- 13:03Speaker 1: to take a bite out of her, but it was
- 13:05Speaker 1: too difficult and unpalatable, so he calmly leaves his apartment.
- 13:09Speaker 1: He goes to the store, he gets a blade. He
- 13:11Speaker 1: comes back and he's able to begin removing pieces of
- 13:14Speaker 1: Renee so he can eat them. Over the next two days,
- 13:16Speaker 1: Segawa would eat most of Renee, and he would take
- 13:19Speaker 1: pictures of himself throughout the entire experience. When he finally
- 13:22Speaker 1: felt full, he left a couple pieces still in his freezer,
- 13:25Speaker 1: but put the rest of her in a suitcase and
- 13:27Speaker 1: went to dump her in a lake. But as he
- 13:29Speaker 1: was wheeling these heavy suitcases around town, people saw them
- 13:33Speaker 1: and it just drew a lot of suspicion and at
- 13:35Speaker 1: some point someone must have called the police. They show up,
- 13:38Speaker 1: they ask him what's inside the suitcase, They open it
- 13:40Speaker 1: up and there's Renee. When questioned about it, he just said,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I killed her to eat her flesh. Segawa awaited trial
- 13:46Speaker 1: for two years in a French prison, and when he
- 13:48Speaker 1: finally went in front of a French judge, when the
- 13:51Speaker 1: judge read the details of this crime, it seemed so
- 13:55Speaker 1: crazy and outrageous that the judge decided there's no way
- 13:59Speaker 1: Segawa can beane, and so he was deemed insane and
- 14:02Speaker 1: unfit to stand trial. He was ordered to go to
- 14:04Speaker 1: a mental institution where he would be held indefinitely. Shortly
- 14:08Speaker 1: after that, the French deported Segawa back to Japan, where
- 14:11Speaker 1: they expected him to remain in a mental institution for
- 14:14Speaker 1: the rest of his life. But that didn't happen because
- 14:17Speaker 1: the French dropped his case and his documents were sealed,
- 14:20Speaker 1: and when he arrived in Japan, the Japanese could not
- 14:23Speaker 1: get access to his court documents, and so they did
- 14:26Speaker 1: not have a case against Segawa, and so they had
- 14:29Speaker 1: to let him walk free. And so in nineteen eighty six,
- 14:32Speaker 1: Sagawa checked himself out of the Japanese mental institution that
- 14:35Speaker 1: he had been sent to, and he's been free ever since.
- 14:38Speaker 1: This is a picture of what police discovered when they
- 14:41Speaker 1: opened up Segawa's fridge inside of his apartment in Paris.
- 14:44Speaker 1: This is a picture of his kitchen inside of that apartment,
- 14:47Speaker 1: where you can clearly see plates and different utensils that
- 14:50Speaker 1: were all used to eat renee. This is a picture
- 14:53Speaker 1: of the suitcase that Sagawa was lugging around that police
- 14:56Speaker 1: showed up and asked him to open and found Renee
- 14:59Speaker 1: inside of. And this is Sagawa today, walking freely in Tokyo,
- 15:03Speaker 1: even though he blatantly killed and ate someone and openly
- 15:07Speaker 1: admits to it and has even profited off of it.
- 15:09Speaker 1: He's written books, and he's been featured on TV shows.
- 15:12Speaker 1: He's even been called in to be a food critic.
- 15:14Speaker 1: But what's even more horrifying is that Sagawa openly says
- 15:18Speaker 1: that before he dies, he's going to do this again.
- 15:22Speaker 1: He can't live with himself unless he eats at least
- 15:25Speaker 1: one more person, so that's going to do it. Guys.
