Stranger Danger with Kady & Chloe

Break Pots, Sink Ships | S18E1

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 09:45:00 +0000

We all know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words", but how many of us actually know the stories behind the words or sayings themselves? All the more so, when you consider the centuries of history and knowledge being passed down to our textbooks today.

So, why did the King's advisor point at a deer and call it a horse? Why were loyal aides killed after winning the war? And why did a general ask his men to break the pots and sink the ships? In this ep, Kady shares with us the stories behind 5 Chinese idioms, as well as the tangled tales of politics, betrayal, and cunning that lay in between the words.

Breaking Bonus: 180 Yuan After 8 Years

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:45:00 +0000

For eight years, Chutou, and 8 year old border collie, went everywhere with Guo, a travel influencer from Henan. China. Snow-capped mountains. Desert highways. Remote campsites where Chutou stood guard through the night so his owner could sleep. Together, they built a life on the road, and along the way amassed an audience of over a million people who followed their journey.

Then, in early May 2026, Guo left for a solo trip, and while he was gone, Chutou went missing.

What followed was every pet owner's worst nightmare: surveillance footage of strangers loading his dog onto a bike, a frantic flight home, two weeks of desperate searching, before finally, the devastating truth. Chutou had been sold to a restaurant for 180 yuan. Less than thirty dollars. And he was already gone.

In this episode, we dig into the details of this tragic case, while also looking into the legal and cultural ramifications of the dog meat industry in China, and why it still persists to this day.

NOTE: If you are someone who is especially sensitive to stories of pet abuse and mistreatment, you might want to tune away from this episode.

Bonus: Reis Goes To China

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:45:00 +0000

Hey listeners. Thanks for sticking around till the end of season 17, it's now time for another bonus ep. This time, we have the culturally enlightened and linguistically improved Reis as she tells us more about her time in China, and what it was like working there for almost a month. So, is the working culture really that bad there? Did she have to work the dreaded 996? And will she ever want to go back?

Also, to round off this episode, we've decided to share an interesting story about a local zoo from some time back. It's a doozy, so hope you tune in to listen till the end. PLUS WE'VE GOT PICTURES:

Real Life Final Destination Stories | S17E11

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:45:00 +0000

The premise of the Final Destination series of movies was always sold as fiction. Just a series of absurd and grotesque deaths shown for our entertainment.

But what if some of these cases weren't so fictional after all? And what if the ridiculous and absurd deaths portrayed in the movies actually took place in real life? From your scarf getting caught in your car tires, to getting hit in the head by a fire hydrant missile, to a 600kg bale of hay trampling through the streets; in this episode, we take a look at some cases that really make us question if some people are just truly unlucky, or if there is a higher power leading them to their fate.

He Didn't Know He Was Dying... Until Reddit Saved Him | S17E10

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:45:00 +0000

In this episode, Kady shares a series of stories where Reddit stepped in to help solve the case, and in one instance, even helped save a life.

In the first story, a user named RBradbudy1920 shares on Reddit that he has been receiving mysterious post-it notes in his bedroom, but has no idea how they got there. It was only after he was considering legal action against his landlord that someone chimed in with a keen observation, one that in hindsight might have actually saved his life.

In the second story, an elderly woman named Susan Rainwater goes out for a short bike ride only to be later found unresponsive in a ditch with her wrecked bike nearby. With little evidence on the scene itself, authorities were struggling to figure out who might have done this to Susan, until some vigilant internet users banded together and brought her the justice she deserved.

In the last story, a man is found dead at the scene of a car crash in 1995, but due to the extent of his injuries, authorities had no way to identify who he was except for some scattered personal items and a ticket stub for a Grateful Dead concert. Because of this, the man - who would later be dubbed "Grateful Doe" - would remain unidentified for decades, until a small group of online sleuths dedicated their own time to this case, and eventually found his identity.

The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower Twice | S17E9

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:45:00 +0000

He had forty-five aliases. He spoke five languages. And on his death certificate, under profession, someone with a twisted sense of humour wrote: apprentice salesman.

They weren't wrong.

Victor Lustig had spent decades crossing between Europe and America, swindling anyone who crossed his path. He charmed wealthy businessmen into investing in Broadway shows that didn't exist. He sold a phony currency-duplicating machine to marks who genuinely believed they'd found a device that printed money. He talked his way into boardrooms, parlours, and back rooms, and out of every trap law enforcement tried to set for him.

But nothing, prepared the world for what would do in Paris in 1925.

His inspiration came from a newspaper article about the enormous cost of maintaining the Eiffel Tower each year. So he forged government credentials, assembled five of the city's most prominent scrap metal dealers, and offered them the chance to purchase one of the most recognisable landmarks on earth. The winning bidder paid up, and before the man dared go to the police, Lustig was already gone.

But the crazy part is that he came back and did it again. This is the life of Victor Lustig. The man who sold the Eiffel Tower. Twice.

3 Idiots and an Ex-Cop Stumble Over a Phantom Bus-Stop | S17E8

The Flies On The Glass Windows | S17E7

Mon, 25 May 2026 09:45:00 +0000

The neighbours had been noticing the smell for days.

It wasn't the kind of smell you could easily ignore. It was the kind that settled in the back of your throat, hinting that something at the Liu house had gone very wrong.

When someone finally called the police, officers arrived to find the doors locked from the inside with steel bars drawn across them. No obvious way in. No obvious way out. But what was even more disturbing, were the iron grilles placed over every external window, as well as the hundreds of flies hovering just outside them.

When a locksmith finally got the door open, the stench hit them like a wall. And somewhere inside that sealed, silent house, in a bathroom with its windows and door taped shut from the outside, they found the children.

All five of them.

Between the Mattress and the Wall | S17E6

Mon, 18 May 2026 09:45:00 +0000

In this episode, Kady shares 3 stories of lesser known cases from around the world.

In the first, a mother leaves her 18 year old daughter at home to take care of her younger 5 year old brother. But when she returns, she finds that the door is locked, and faints immediately upon finally seeing the horrors within their apartment.

In the second, a couple wake up one morning to find their 4 year old daughter Paulette missing. But what's disturbing than the disappearance of a little girl was their alleged apathy around the whole case, with the mother even saying on TV that the whoever took her daughter can just leave her at a mall. This case would take an even more bizarre turn however, when Paulette would eventually be discovered inside her own bedroom.

In the final story, a lady getting out of a parking lot reverses into a young child and her mother, but doesn't even get out of her car to call for help. But what made this story even more infuriating, was that officers found and questioned her, but still let her go free.

From Cannibal to Mukbanger | S17E5

Mon, 11 May 2026 09:45:00 +0000

In 2003, a man named Sumanto was arrested in Purbalingga, Central Java, after the remains of a recently buried corpse was found in his home. Things would only get stranger when he admitted to stealing the corpse and even consuming parts of it as he believed that it would grant him supernatural abilities.

But fast forward to 2025 however, and the world would see him in an entirely new light, sharing inspirational messages and fitness routines in front of the camera, alongside eating his favorite food, satay.

When You'd Do Anything To Avoid The Consequences | S17E4

Mon, 04 May 2026 09:45:00 +0000

It takes guts and bravery to admit when you're wrong and try to correct your behavior, all the more so depending on what you actually did. Which is sometimes, some people will do whatever it takes to avoid facing the consequences.

In this episode, Kady shares a couple of stories along these lines. In the first, a woman with a failing real estate business resorts to stealing money from her husband to keep up with her expenses. But when she is finally caught, she resorts to desperate measures instead of dealing with the fallout.

In the second story, an up and coming football player from Brazil has a weakness for women and ends up getting one of his mistresses pregnant. But instead of owning up and taking care of his child, he would choose to go down a much darker path.

Murdered In A Courtroom | S17E3

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 09:45:00 +0000

Inside Court No. 7 of the Nagpur District Court, a man is brought in under police escort. He's been here before. And he knows that how he can get away. But today however, feels different. Because today, they come for him.

Hundreds of them. Women. Mothers. Daughters. Neighbours. Armed with knives, chilli powder, and thirteen years of unanswered screams. They flood through the doors of a building designed to uphold the law; and make sure that he never walked out of it.

So who was Bharat Kalicharan Yadav — the man they called Akku — that people were willing to kill him in broad daylight? And what does it say about justice when the only place it could be found... was in the hands of the people the system had already failed?

It's Always The Husband... Isn't It? | S17E2

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:45:00 +0000

In August of 1986, Michael Morton celebrated his birthday along with his wife, Christine, and their 3 year old son Eric. The next morning, he would leave for work at 530am, only to contacted shortly after by the local police that his wife had been discovered bludgeoned to death in their own home.

Given the circumstances, and the fact that he had an argument with his wife the night before, Michael was immediately made the prime suspect of the murder. Leading to his life sentence conviction in February the following year on the basis of prosecutor Ken Anderson's passionate please for a heavy punishment.

But this story however, doesn't follow the conventional script. And what initially seemed like a straightforward case would eventually be completely upended when a plucky lawyer named John Raley would look deeper into the case files, and uncover something deeply wrong with Michael Morton's conviction.

Japan's Most Infamous Love Scammer - Watanabe Mai | S17E1

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 09:45:00 +0000

In July of 2021, a young lady by the name of Watanabe Mai would appear on popular Japanese Youtuber Korekore's channel, and proceed to shock millions of netizens online. During the interview, she would brazenly boast about the millions of yen that she had received from various men, while also laying out her techniques and methods for doing so. This would eventually lead to her arrest several years later when another woman was reported for scamming men using Mai's methods, where she would ultimately be sentenced to prison time along with a fine.

But what caught many people off guard wasn't just the fact that she was a love scammer, it was that even after scamming so many men, she was essentially broke and homeless; leaving everyone to wonder, where did all the money go?

The Maid Who Fled The Murder Scene | S16E13

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 09:45:00 +0000

On the morning of 25th June 2018, local authorities in Singapore received a report that would unravel into one of the most quietly devastating cases the country had ever seen. An elderly woman in her 70s was found dead in her family's Chua Chu Kang flat. And her foreign domestic helper, a slight, soft-spoken girl from Myanmar, was gone.

By the time police found their prime suspect, a story had already begun forming in the press. And the foreign domestic helper, then just a teenage girl, sat at the center of it all, waiting to find out what Singapore's justice system would condemn her to.

But the question that would haunt this case for years wasn't simply what happened inside that flat on that January morning.

It was why — and whether anyone had ever stopped to ask it.

In February of 2022, local authorities in Green Bay, Wisconsin, picked up a case that would become one of the state's most shocking homicide cases.

OneTaste: The Wellness Cult That Went Too Far | S16E10

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:45:00 +0000

On the surface, OneTaste seemed to be just like any other viral wellness or lifestyle trend on social media, with founder Nicole Daedone promising sexual liberation and spiritual connection through their various courses and luxury retreats. But underneath the glossy marketing and glowing reviews was something far darker and more disturbing than anyone could have imagined. With accounts of emotional manipulation and sexual abuse gradually surfacing through investigative journalists.

So what is the reality behind OneTaste? Is it simply a wellness movement like any other, or a cult that took advantage of vulnerable participants?

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 09:45:00 +0000

On a quiet Monday morning in Delmar, New York, 52‑year‑old court clerk Peter Porco got up from bed and proceeded with his typical morning routine. But while he opened his front door to grab the morning newspaper, he noticed a trail of blood on the walls and floors behind him. That when his body failed him and he collapsed to the ground. Hours later, a welfare check would bring officers to the scene, where they would discover Peter's body in a pool of his own blood; his jaw barely hanging on to this face, and half of his brain completely exposed.

Shortly after taking a few sips of her drink, she complained that it tasted bad, before quickly showing seizure-like symptoms and collapsing to the ground. She would then pronounced dead shortly after.

But what is perhaps the most mysterious part of this case was the forensic discovery of cyanide inside Mirna's coffee, leading the investigators and everyone else to wonder: who put the cyanide in Mirna's coffee? And how?

So, why don't we sweep the floor on the first day of CNY? Why don't we use sharp objects? Or why do we try to avoid arguing or insulting others during this period? Is it all just arbitrary myths passed down through generations? Or is there some actual reasoning behind it all?

In April 2010, authorities would be called down to a motel in Incheon, South Korea, to witness a strange but unfortunate event.

His girlfriend would tragically pass 16 days later from suffocation.

But while investigators quickly ruled the case as an accident, the victim's father didn't give up so easily. And after a bit of digging, he would soon discover that what happened to his daughter may not have been an accident at all.

Japan is known for many things, historical sites, beautiful nature, captivating culture; all of which belie something disturbing just beneath the surface. Around train stations in Japan, there are signs warning of "Chikan" or gropers, backed up by harrowing stories of abuse and sexual harrassment. The phenomenon has become so widespread that train companies have instituted women-only cabins for the safety of female passengers, but many wonder if this alone will be enough.

P.S. Vincent is still here for this ep!

The Undying Mystery of the Yuba County Boys | S15E6

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 09:45:00 +0000

It was a frigid winter's February night in 1978, when five friends from Yuba County, California, vanished without a trace after attending a college basketball game. Their car would later be found abandoned deep in the wilderness of Plumas National Forest, miles off any logical route home. Months later, four bodies would be discovered, in various degrees of distress and starvation. But the fifth man, Gary Mathias, would never found.

Thailand is known for its rich cultural history and religious practice, particularly surrounding Buddhism. But during the early 20th-century, one monk would emerge and gain infamy in Bangkok, using his knowledge of black magic, love potions, and religious customs to gain followers, ensnare victims, and uproot the very traditions that formed the basis of his faith; himself becoming the folk legend known as Iron-Chest Boonpeng.

Identical Strangers | S14E4

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 09:45:00 +0000

In 1980, 19 year old Robert Shafran had just started college in New York when he came across a rather unusual predicament. While he was on campus, he was repeatedly mistaken for another student by the name of Eddy Galland. And when they eventually met, the resemblance was eerily uncanny; both had identical features, had the same birthday, shared the same quirks, and were even adopted children. The meeting was so peculiar that it was even publicized on local newspapers and television, which is where things took another strange turn. David Kellman came across the story in the papers, and recognized his own faces.

We continue with the case of Cari Farver and her seemingly bizarre actions after her disappearance. Over time, Farver's supposed harassment becomes even more severe, escalating from simple texts and emails to arson, animal abuse, and even an attempted murder.

But with the case ongoing as long as it has, it would only be a matter of time before a fresh pair of eyes would catch sight of the oddities in the case, and unravel the whole charade for what it really was.

The Woman Who Was/Wasn't There Part 1 | S14E1

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 09:45:00 +0000

In 2012, Cari Farver left for work early in the morning and bid goodbye to her partner Dave Kroupa, only to never be seen again. Except that Dave would begin receiving strange texts and emails from Cari; initially a request to move in together, but quickly escalating to bouts of anger and verbal abuse.

What made this even more bizarre, was that the onslaught of texts would continue over the next four years, and reach not only Dave but also his former partner, and even Cari's own mother. This thus begs the question, where in the world was Cari Farver? And a more chilling thought, was she even the one behind these texts to begin with?

In 2020, Brett Fairley was a young, strapping, 24 year old when he stumbled across Maria Nguyen at her birthday party, leading to a one-night stand. Bizarrely, after receiving no contact from Maria for a few months, she suddenly texts him with a peculiar request: can you be my sperm donor? And after repeated assurances from Maria that there would be no strings attached, Brett agrees. But what Brett didn't know at the time was that life-changing decisions should probably never be made off of simple promises, and that things were just about to get incredibly messy.

In the middle of the night, they were awoken by a strange, bright light, and a booming sound in the distance. When they stepped outside hours later, they noticed that fine, white particles were falling from the sky; and began to play with it as they thought it was some kind of miraculous desert snow.

The repercussions of this incident wouldn't be felt until later. Farm animals and crops in the vicinity began dying of unnatural causes. People got sick, and just a few decades, all but 2 of the teenage girls had died from various cancers.

Investigations would investigate this lead in the coming months, citing the crime as part of a spree of burglaries within the area. However, more than 20 years later, a deeper look into the case would support a different theory; one that was closer to the police than they initially thought.

Initially, Ichihashi claimed to be one of Hawker's students, but even when Hawker failed to recognize him, he persisted and followed Hawker all the way back to her home; later even begging Hawker to provide him with private English lessons. Perhaps unfamiliar with the local customs in Japan, Hawker agreed, eventually turning a bizarre encounter with a stranger to something far more deadly.

When The Prank Turns Deadly | S12E10

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:00 +0000

In February of 2017, Siti Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong reported to the KLIA airport and were tasked with an assignment: they were to put baby oil on their hands and rub them on the eyes of a stranger. At the time, they believed that they were doing this for a YouTube prank show, and that the producer was simply trying to create comedic content. However, shortly after the task was done, the victim started to struggle and required medical assistance, before later passing away on route to the nearest hospital; Siti and Doan stood by as they watched, unknowingly participants in a nefarious scheme.

ALSO: Similar to the previous ep, Kady felt the main story wasn't that substantial, so she gave us a bonus story at the beginning.

We continue from last week's episode with the investigation into Aundria Bowman's disappearance in 1989, this time led by the unusual pairing of Aundria's biological mother, Cathy Terkanian, and volunteer sketch artist Carl Koppelman.

Following a series of tip offs, their search points them to the man who made Aundria's missing persons report in the first place - Dennis Bowman; where they would uncover a series of crimes past due, and finally bring justice to Aundria Bowman.

What Happened to Aundria Bowman? | S12E2

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 09:45:00 +0000

In March of 1989, local police in Hamilton, Michigan, would receive a phone call from Dennis Bowman, who alleged that his 14 year old adoptive daughter, Aundria, had gone missing. Bowman explained that he noticed she was missing when he returned home from work, and shared that she had taken a jacket and some money from the house as well, leading police to initially classify this as a simple runaway case.

Unfortunately however, the truth is far more complicated than the case first suggests; especially when Aundria's biological mother, Cathy Terkanian, receives word of her daughter's disappearance only 21 years later in 2010.

Stranger Danger 2025 New Year's Special 🎆🎆 | S12E1

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 09:45:00 +0000

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Can you believe it's another new year? Where has the time gone? Anyway, similar to the start of 2024, we figured that since we are literally at the start of the year, we thought it wouldn't be auspicious to be telling tragic or horrible crime stories (Don't worry, regular true crime stories will be back from next week onwards). So instead, we will be venturing into game-show territory with our very own chaotic rendition of the word association game, the SDP WORD ASSOCIATION GAME (a.k.a. SDP WAG).

Can it get more chaotic than 4 idiots trying to guess the same words? Which of the hosts knows the other best? Who relates the best out of all of us? Who is the most idiotic?

On the morning of 4th December 2024, UnitedHealth Insurance CEO Brian Thompson was walking over the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan for an investors' conference when he was brutally shot and killed by a masked gunman, later identified and arrested as 26 year old Luigi Mangione.

This case was quickly picked up by various outlets due to the brazen nature of the killing as well as the high profile victim; only for it to take a rather unhinged turn online.

Soon, 8 others would stand up brandishing various weapons, and thus commence with their grand plan: to hijack the plane and join forces with Communist military groups in Havana, Cuba.

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 09:45:00 +0000

John Alexander Lawson had a difficult upbringing growing up; struggling with various mental disorders and a constantly shifting environment meant that he rarely found a place he could call home. As he grew older, he began to take a fascination with the occult as a way of rebelling against the conservative nature of his community, covering his body in tattoos, filing down his teeth to resemble fangs, and even doing away with cleaning himself in the belief that filth gave him powers.

But what was perhaps even more concerning, was the fact that he actually started to draw a cult following.

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 09:45:00 +0000

There's recently been a viral tiktok trend going around where women get asked if they would rather be trapped in the woods with a man or a bear.

In this episode we take a look at some of these recent cases, to better understand why women choose the bear in the woods.

On 9 December 2001, 60 year-old Michael Peterson called 911 to report that he had just found his wife, Kathleen, unconscious at the bottom of their staircase.

Tragedy would strike the family in 2007, and surface again in 2020 as her daughter made shocking revelations about her father; the likes of which would leave Corinna questioning the decades of idyllic married life that they had spent together.

It's a wicked tale of secrecy and sin, with only one thing for sure at the end, that there is no taste as sweet as revenge.
