“There’s no such thing as steps,” and “they were two peas in a pod.” These are statements made by Anna Kepner’s grandparents who were with her on the cruise when she died. Her body was found under the mattress and her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. Which is what makes this comment particularly odd to some netizens...because Anna’s grandparents are referring to her relationship with her 16 year old step brother. The very step brother who was the only other person in the room around the estimated time of death. The very step brother who is now a suspect in Anna’s murder. They are not the only suspicious adults in this case though. Anna’s biological father and her step mother, the mother of the 16 yo step brother, who were also on the cruise with the family were seen over a month after Anna’s murder, walking from court, their faces completely blank yet gripping each other’s hands. Anna’s father has just lost his daughter yet he seemingly appears closer than ever to his wife and the mother of the murder suspect. This is part two of the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder.

November 8, 2025, a small SUV drives up to the Carnival cruise ship docked at Port Miami. The thick letters on the side of the car read: MIAMI DADE COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER FBI agents are seen bringing what appears to be a cadaver stretcher off the ship. Just 24 hours before docking, in a cabin where three step-siblings were rooming together, a crew member finds a dead body. An 18 year old girl named Anna Kepner, hidden underneath a mattress amongst blankets and life jackets. The youngest sibling is seemingly ruled out and the most likely person of interest appears to be her 16 year old step brother...Whom Anna’s father and stepmother seem to be defensively ‘protective’ of. This is the ongoing case of Anna Kepner’s murder. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is it possible to completely forget something you experienced? Well, it depends on who you ask. Pick a side and welcome to the memory wars. One side believes it is possible. There are documented cases of victims of traumatic events who forget for years until one day when they begin to remember. The other side believes that this is not a real thing. You cannot just forget a memory and then suddenly remember it. The stakes are high for the memory wars. And the stakes are even higher for the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. FMSF is on the side that denies repressed memories. For decades, FMSF has denied victims of all ages who have remembered experiences of CSA and torture, including Mary Knight. This is her story.

Almost everyone in Los Angeles hopes that one day they’ll receive an invitation on their doorstep inviting them to one of Al Sekel’s parties. In order to attend, he always provides a vague caveat like, ‘bring the most interesting person you know.’ Fulfill it and the host himself will likely usher you inside his mansion, give you the tour, and show you a giant painting that seems to be…moving? Later on, someone at the party might clue you in, ‘He’s the world’s greatest collector of optical illusions. He likes them because they violate expectations.’ Al Sekel is known as a harmless, artsy oddball who just happens to be Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother in law, until the most recent release of Epstein’s emails. An email from Sekel to Epstein in 2010 reads in short, ‘Now the headlines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile…Your wiki entry now is pretty tame and bad stuff has been muted…We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption.’ According to the email, Sekel helped Epstein clean up his online image. To Sekel, the damage control is likely just another optical illusion. However, we’ll never truly know why because soon after those emails, Al Sekel goes missing. Weeks pass and authorities find his body at the bottom of an 100 ft cliff in France. One of his hands and one of his feet is nowhere to be found. Yet, authorities say he died by s*icide. But how many s*icides connected to one case is too many?

An alleged page of Epstein’s 50th birthday book is leaked, featuring a drawing of what looks like the outline of a woman’s torso. No head, just the curves of a neck, shoulders, no arms and ‘u’ shaped drawings for the breasts. Within the outlined silhouette is a badly written poem and it’s signed at the very bottom, ‘Donald J. Trump’ in thick black ink. His scribbled signature seemingly positioned as the pubic hair of the woman’s silhouette. Trump sues the Wall Street Journal for distributing this alleged letter for $10B and posts on ‘truth social’ that it’s completely fake. Despite this denial, a clip of Epstein’s deposition begins to circulate alongside the poem. Epstein is sitting on a leather armchair, fully leaned to one side, arm propped on the chair, his head resting in his hand. He is asked, “Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?” Epstein answers, “What do you mean by personal relationship?” “Have you socialized with him?” “Yes sir.” “Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?” Epstein replies, “Though I’d like to answer that question at least today, I’m going to have to assert my 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment right sir.” The 5th Amendment permits someone to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination. The man’s name mentioned in Epstein’s deposition? The current president of the United States. How many of the world’s most elite and powerful people are connected to serial sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein??

According to public autopsy records, many people regarded as whistleblowers have died by s*icide. Virginia Giuffre is one of Epstein’s most outspoken victims who has spent her life fighting to bring Epstein and Ghislaine to justice. At 17 years old she is photographed with “Prince” Andrew whose hand is wrapped around her waist. By her late 20s she’s best known for exposing that picture to the public and testifying to the trafficking she was subjected to by some of the world’s elite. Yet now, as of April 25th, 2025, Virginia Giuffre is dead. Leaving behind a manuscript titled “Nobody’s Girl” detailing the 2 years she was trafficking by Epstein to limitlessly powerful people. Before her death she emails two confidants: “In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that “Nobody’s Girl” is still released...” Sent April 1, 2025. April 25, 2025, Virginia Giuffre will be found dead. Her death ruled as a s*icide less than a month after her email and a few years after she made the following tweet on X: “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape, or form am I s*icidal. I have made this known to my therapist and GP– if something happens to me– in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.” Now, a lot can change in a few years, including someone's mental state. But with the Epstein case and files... Everyone feels like a suspect. Everyone has money. Everyone has power. And everyone has a lot to lose. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A few months after beloved son, Grant Solomon, dies in a freak accident 3 more grave plots are bought next to his. One for his younger sister Gracie. Another for the siblings’ mother, Angie. And the last for the patriarch of the family, Aaron. All three whom are still, very much alive. In fact, Angie and Aaron, now divorced, are not only breathing but they’re basically just busy hating each other. Would they really want to lay next to each other for the rest of eternity? And what about Gracie, Grant’s younger sister who just entered her teenage years? She’s most likely going to grow up, start a family of her own and be laid to rest with them…right? The Freedom For Gracie instagram posts about the 3 grave plots that were purchased far too prematurely. Apparently, the culprit is none other than Aaron. The patriarch. The father. The estranged ex-husband, who by the way, isn’t new to accusations… Another glimpse at the Freedom For Gracie page provides some context: Did Aaron kill his own son Grant and is he trying to take down the rest of the family next? Police are at a loss, the public is at a loss, until five years later when the case flips on its head. Angie is the one sitting in prison facing charges of murder for hire. This is the case of the Solomon family. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The instructions were very clear: Walk over to the hit car. Open the front passenger door and get in. Do not look around. Keep your head facing forward. Act normal. Angie Solomon does just that, slides in and stares at the dashboard. “Have you done this before?” A male voice answers from the backseat behind her to let her know that she’s asking one too many questions. Angie nervously laughs then continues. Angie tells the hitman in the backseat of the car about her youngest child. A daughter named Gracie, whom Angie claims, was abused by her ex-husband and Gracie’s father Aaron. Angie continues. She tells the hitman about Aaron’s schedule, his address, how his gate has a hole in the back that the hitman can get through. The hitman finally speaks, “You understand that I’m not going to see you again. You understand that right? He’ll be dead and disappear…” But the morning after Angie plotted to kill her ex-husband, Aaron would not be dead. And the two them, Mr. Backseat man and Angie, they would see each other again… In a courtroom full of people while the recording of Angie in the hit car plays in open court. Mr. Backseat Man is an undercover FBI agent. By 2025 Angie will be arrested for murder for hire. Aaron will be accused of trafficking his daughter Gracie in a high powered ring of mega church pastors and the governor of Tennessee. And Grant, the first born son will be dead. This is the case of the Solomons where it’s clear that at least one of them is lying. We just don’t know who.

What are the odds that you have a half sibling somewhere out there that you don't know about? How do you even find out if you have a half-sibling? Nowadays, lots of people will meet them on accident after taking a DNA test, but typically it’s a very tricky game. You can’t just look on your birth certificate and sometimes your own parents have no idea or withhold the truth. Aziza Kibibi doesn’t have to look very far. She already knows where and who all of her half siblings are because she's given birth to four of them. Aziza’s father has been SA’ing her since she was eight years old. By fifteen, she would give birth to her first child bore out of incest at the hands of her father. He’d go on to impregnate her four more times, forcing her to give birth without medical assistance every single time. She would be forced to bear life in a tent on a beach while hiding from the police. Another, alone squatting over a Home Depot bucket. And every single time, Aziza’s dad would force her to raise her kids - his kids - their kids - in the same house with Aziza’s ten other siblings he was also assaulting. The same house where Aziza’s mother lived, growing jealous of her own daughters each year they got older. Her father forced them to live together, prohibited them from public school, locked away from the public eye, forced to fight for his attention until they could finally escape. This is the story of Aziza Kibibi.

What do you do when your favorite creator, YouTuber, or tiktoker stops posting? They just completely disappear. No warning, no community post. Just gone. Are you convinced they are sick? That they’re just taking a break and coming back? Usually the first two are the natural internet reactions especially when creators go missing for too long. Sometimes the real reason is lot scarier than that… Mamaguy, a Korean tiktoker swears that it wasn’t him who roundhouse kicked the woman in Busan on the CCTV. He swears that’s NOT the reason why he took a few years off from the public eye. Which, to be fair, is true. The real assaulter who went viral for randomly round-housing a woman was found and charged with 20 years in prison. So then why was ‘Mamaguy,’ absent from social media? Absent from society as a whole? Sometimes when creators go missing online it’s completely nothing. They’re taking a break. Or just decided to stop making content. Maybe they’re burnt out. Or, it could be much more sinister than that. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In 2018, a victim by the alias, ‘EM’ meets a Junior hockey player at a bar who invites her to spend the night with him. She consents to having intimate relations with this singular player. By the next morning, EM survives a gang assault at the hands of 10 to 16 other players that the original player had invited back to the hotel room without EM knowing. She would go onto testify about these events seven years later in 2025. Only five of the men get charged and go to trial. All five of the men are found not guilty. The case divides basically all of North America and women begin coming forward with their own stories including one that seemingly involves the original player who invited his teammates to the hotel room. Could it all be connected? One thing is for sure: all of these cases of alleged gang assault involve players from the Junior hockey league, aka the ones with the ‘Bible’ on how to assault women. This is part two of Canada’s continuous gang assault scandals. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“WARNING / DISCLAIMER: the content is not safe for work – school – your gf – or your mother.” This is the ‘Junior Hockey Bible.’ It reads like a dictionary with words and their definition, mostly hockey related. “A mess - Usually quits hockey and goes home to work with his dad cleaning out sh*tters.” “Bobby Big Wheel - This is the guy on the team who thinks he is gods gift to women…But really he’s a f*cking joke. He’s really going nowhere in life or hockey.” “Sea Donkey - These beasts of the sea are masters at boozing and once intoxicated, they are looking to get some hockey cock…Only approach after 25 beers and all other options have failed including the r*****ed girl with no legs named Bobby No Legs.” “Cinema - This is the honorable act of letting your friends watch you bang…If busted, the actor *the guy whose banging* denies any knowledge of the cinema and normally will get mad at the boys in front of the sl*t just to make her feel better when really, he is laughing on the inside. A great family event for all.” The ‘Junior Hockey Bible’ reads more like an instruction manual or a guidebook for SA. So most netizens and locals in Ontario, Canada aren’t surprised that five junior hockey boys are accused of gang r*pe right as they’re getting drafted to the NHL. The surprising part, to many netizens, is how they allegedly wind up getting away it. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

September 11th, 2025, Yu Menglong, a Chinese actor with 25M followers is found dead in pools of his own blood after an alleged industry dinner party. Police quickly claim that he ‘drunkly fell’ from the fifth floor of the luxury Beijing apartment and close his case. Chinese netizens couldn’t disagree more. A list is released of all the high ranking celebrities that were alleged to have been at the fatal dinner party. A late-billionaire’s wife who inherited all of his money after he suspiciously died in prison. A director known for his bright red hair and predatory behavior towards young male actors. An art director of a museum exhibit showcasing alleged preserved human torture scenes that was visited by Yu Menglong prior to his death. The husband of that same art director, who is also the owner of the luxury Beijing apartment where Yu Menglong ‘fell.’ And those are just four of the 17 guests that netizens suspect were with Yu Menglong during the last moments of his life. That list plus his two beloved dogs that have also mysteriously ceased to exist. And what about the other ten different celebrities under Yu Menglong’s same talent management who have also passed away under very suspicious circumstances? This is part two of the Yu Menglong case.

Yu Menglong, a famous actor is confirmed to be dead. The authorities say he fell to his death from the 5th floor of a luxury Beijing apartment that wasn’t his. They say it’s just a drunk accident and quickly rule out any foul play. They don’t investigate the dozen plus partygoers in the apt that evening… They don’t even investigate further into his death. Instead, the authorities begin censoring any netizens openly questioning the events of that night. Livestreams are shut down mid-stream. Comments and profiles get taken down and deleted. Still, netizens are one step ahead as a video slips through the cracks. Bloodcurdling screams are captured on audio. A man begging for his life between cries. A conspiracy spreads like wildfire: Yu Menglong was tortured to death after he swallowed a USB containing government secrets. Could there be truth to this theory? Why would a government go so far to censor a movie star’s death? And why are there rumors saying his mother has now gone missing… Full show notes at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Family nudist camps. They’re real and exist today. Children are 100% allowed. Clothes are not. A lot of people wonder if it’s uncomfortable for children, which one camp addresses in their website’s FAQs: Q: Are children forced to be nude? A: The word “forced” is an emotionally loaded word that suggests unreasonable force or other inappropriate coercion… Most children are very comfortable with nudity until they are taught otherwise by society. With young naturist children, it’s just as likely that parents “force” them to wear bathing suits when visiting municipal pools where bathing suits are mandatory.” This is where Donald Gordon and his other pedophile friends would make bets to see who could molest the most amount of kids. These were his hunting grounds. But Don didn’t need to ‘hunt’ for the little girl that accompanied him because he was already friends with her parents. Her parents were pedophiles as well and introduced their youngest daughter to them. Lisa was just 11 years old when Don started abusing her; frequently taking her to these family nudist camps where she was preyed upon by others. This is Lisa’s story.

We went to see Luigi Mangione in court. September 16, 2025, in a New York State Courthouse, Mangione’s terrorism charges are dropped. The courtroom remains silent with court officers stationed at every corner. There are cheers from protestors right outside the courthouse. A strange energy clash between mainstream media and the members of the public who waited over 30 hours to get inside the courtroom. Protestors organized giant vans to circle the courthouse with Luigi Mangione’s face displayed on them. It feels like a big win for the Mangione legal team. Except… His attorneys argue that all 3 jurisdictions are fighting over who gets to be the one to take down Luigi Mangione. He still faces: Weapons charges in Pennsylvania. 2nd degree murder, weapons, and stalking charges in the state of New York. And the death penalty from the federal government.

It is not until Spetmber 17th, 2025 that the body found in D4vd’s Tesla is identified as 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. And she has been missing for over a year. The last time her family saw her in person seems to be in April of 2024 though her family has remained out of the public eye with no official statements. The police are quiet. The medical examiner’s are quiet. David and his team are quiet. And Celeste’s family is quiet. The media and netizens, basically the general public, is not. People start developing their own assumptions and conclusions to the point where there’s about five main theories floating around online. One, he killed her for fame. Two, he’s innocent. Three, he’s involved but her death was an accident and he couldn’t call for an ambulance or authorities because she was a missing teen. Four, he murdered her and disposed of her body. Five, there is a lot more that we don’t know and there are other people that are heavily involved. This is what the internet thinks happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14 year old girl found deceased in the trunk of D4vd’s car.
