My Pod
This week I started a series that I've been wanting to get to for a while. Richard Kuklinski, better known as the Ice Man is HANDS DOWN, one of the scariest mother fuckers out there. Well, he's no longer out there...He was a hitman for the Italian mafia, but if you ask me he was a serial killer as well, and a nasty one. And he was also one of the most unfortunate souls in the world. If that sounds interesting to you, please go have yourself a listen.
You can watch or listen to this episode on Apple, Spotify or Youtube.
And maybe subscribe to us on youtube, if you want :)
Is she Madeleine McCann?...no.
It's looking like this Julia girl is not Madeleine McCann, shocker... Her parents have come out now to dispute the claim and they've said that Julia suffers from some mental health issues, has done pornography in the past, and that they know for a fact that Julia is their daughter, and not Madeleine.
Julia also deleted her social media accounts after amassing over 1 million followers.
Honestly, I hope that this Julia girl gets the help that she (maybe) needs and that she finds peace with herself, and hopefully the internet isn't too awful to her. But I doubt that will happen...
And I also hope that this stunt didn't re traumatize the McCanns too much. Gosh, what a mess!
GUILTY
So, Alex Murdaugh has been found GUILTY of the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Damn. That is messed up to murder your own wife and son. Daammmn. Do you guys agree with the verdict?
I will be honest, I'm still a little behind on all of the trial footage. But I'm getting to it. I have dug pretty deep into everything that led up to the trial. And he was certainly looking pretty guilty to me.
The entire trial is on youtube if you're interested, but I do have some recos for anyone who is somehow new to this case.
This youtube channel is great. It's run by a guy named Eric Alen, and he is actually from the same town of Hampton, South Carolina (or the surrounding area). Eric did a fantastic, very in depth series on the Murdaughs and all the scandal surrounding them.
Eric did a really great job being transparent, fair and level headed in his reporting. He was also featured in the recently released Netflix three part series on the Murdaugh family called Murdaugh Murders, a Southern Scandal. Which is also quite good.
I would actually recommend watching both, if you're interested in that many hours worth of content on the Murdaugh family, because they do not take the same angle. Eric's channel had more police and court documentation, and the Netflix series has more interviews with people close to the case.
The most fucked up thing I've seen all week
(Abby Choi)
This week's worst case on the internet is actually a bit similar to last weeks. And it is BRUTAL. This one takes place in all the way accross the world in Hong Kong. This guy, Alex Kwong, along with three of his family members, including his parents, have all been arrested for the murder of Alex's ex-wife, Abby Choi.
Abby was young, beautiful and clearly doing well for herself. It's a tragedy any time someone is murdered, but it's horrific to imagine what must have happened to this poor woman.
(Alex Kwong)
Abby was a model and influencer, and her remains were recently found. But in what state? Well, her skull, rib bones and hair were found in a large stainless steel pot, in what I assume is a home belonging to the Kwong famliy. The rest of her is still missing.
This is a pretty new story, so details are a little bit murky, but arrests have been made. Is it just me or are people doing a lot more dismembering these days? Why do you think that is?My theory: forensics are too good. People think that is the only way to get rid of the evidence.
Please respond to this email with the craziest story you hear next week, if it's worse than anything I can find, I'll throw it in next weeks letter!
