The authorities burst into the room and their jaws dropped. The entire room was completely white. Even the books on the shelves were bound in white leather. But the most shocking was the pure white bed in the middle of the room surrounded by an arc of chairs. As if people sat around the bed like it was some sort of show. Which they did. Authorities found audio recordings of middle-aged men assaulting underage girls while their friends watched. Some victims are as young as 12. There are hundreds if

The Burning Sun scandal exposed some of the most beloved K-pop idols to be depraved predators. The Burning Sun was a popular club. The type of club where rich men ruled. If you wanted a rare bottle of champagne. They would get it. If you wanted the club to stay open an extra hour. They would do it. If you wanted the bartenders to roofie a random girl’s drink so that you could have her escorted into your private room to assault… they would do it. The Burning Sun exposed a lot - it would even take

The woman leaped to her death - plunging her body into the cold water of the river. She left a note that said “to my devil husband, I can only commit suicide to expose your crime and to tell the world about my helplessness.” It shocked the nation. She had been married to one of the richest, most powerful men in the nation. What did he do? And how does that connect to the haunting last picture of a woman that lives 7,168 miles away? The one that vanished after a suspicious taxi ride. Her driver even

Truth serum. It has quite a dark history. The CIA tested the heavy sedative on suspected criminals, murderers, and terrorists. They hoped it would even the smartest spies to - well, tell the truth. It would be hard to imagine a world where truth serum was tested on children on a large scale. But it happened. In Aston Hall Mental Hospital a sick, twisted, depraved doctor hand-picked young girls to experiment on. He would have them admitted to his hospital where he pumped them full of truth serum and

Everywhere he went, he was kind. He was kind to the woman he passed by in the produce aisle, the female cashier, and even the woman next to him at the red light. Maybe he was nice because he loved to picture all these women naked and in his bed. Sure, some would call it crass but was Ned’s favorite thing to do. Regardless, the women were nice back. They liked Ned. He was well dressed, clean cut, and seemed gentle. They had no idea that he was fantasizing about strangling them. Staring into their

It all started when a woman jumped from her bathroom window. The police questioned whether or not it was a suicide. The whole nation did. Why did the seemingly happy wife and mother take her own life? Maybe someone pushed her? Why was her entire back filled with sexually derogatory tattoos? Just weeks later her father-in-law took his own life, and a 14-year-old girl’s body was found stuffed in a suitcase. How were they all connected?

Being a marriage counselor is a tough job. I imagine the married couple Erika & BJ would tell very different stories about their couples vacation. BJ would say that he fell asleep in the car while his wife went into a hotel room with a couple they just met. He was heartbroken and devastated when he found out what she had done. Erika would argue that BJ was there the whole time - in fact, he wanted her to take pictures of him with the couple’s decapitated heads. Only, they weren’t talking to a

The heir to the Coors Beer Dynasty. He felt confident he could deal with this. It’s like a business transaction. He just had to make sure his son had no secrets. Who knew beer had so many secrets?

Unicorns are mystical creatures. They are so rare that most of us wouldn’t know what to do if we came across one.
