Rotten but still a little sweet! Rotten Mango is a true crime + all things spooky podcast. We love doing deep dives into the darkest crimes and we tend to not leave out any details - which can get a little rotten at times. If you want deep dives in the psychology of killers, no holding back storytelling of crimes, and stories of lesser known criminals from around the world this is the place for you.

Rotten Mango

She was tortured with bleach till her skin fell off - and then her friends lit her on fire. 

Another girl had her knees crushed by her boyfriend so she could never run away. 

Frequently spoken about alongside Junko Furuta's case... these two cases are some of the vilest cases of torture we've researched. 

We also do a quick dive into where torture even started (the CIA gets involved). It's an intense one. Buckle up.

#29- The Bleach Torture Killer (Case of Kelly Anne Bates & Suzanne Capper)

Police are called out about clogged drains underneath a house in London... doesn't really sound like detective work. 

BUT it soon becomes apparent that the drains have been clogged with human remains. Someone inside the house has been flushing human remains down the toilet. (Remember Jeffrey Dahmer?)

The police think they're about to arrest a murderer but little do they know they've got a serial killer on their hands.

#32- The British Jeffrey Dahmer - He Keeps Corpses As Roommates (Serial Killer Dennis Nilsen)

A 15-year-old hitchhiker catches a ride with a sweet "grandpa looking man." She was excited to go home but he had plans of his own. His plans resulted in her with both her arms amputated and thrown off a cliff. 

On the other side of the world, another girl got on a bus after visiting the movies with a friend. She would be found tossed off the bus clinging on for her life. 

Some of the darkest cases I've covered but it's been highly requested and we need to keep these stories alive. Get your tissues ready - it's gut wrenching.

#33- India's Daughter - New Delhi Bus Rape and Murder Case

Cheerleading tryouts at this junior high school become deadly once a mom hires a hitman to literally "knock out" the competition. 

What's a couple of dead people when your daughter has the chance to be a cheerleader? 

We also cover the story of the Blood Countess. One of the most prolific female serial killers who has claimed the lives of over 600 victims. 

She believed the secret to youth was to take baths... full of blood. 

Blood baths.

#34- The Dance Moms Murder

She told all of her friends that she was pregnant. People started getting suspicious when they realized she was so close to her due date but hadn't even started showing yet. 

But Lisa had a plan. She would go visit an unsuspecting pregnant friend and cut the unborn baby from her womb. 

Welcome to the first-ever minisode! 

We will have long episodes, as usual, every Wednesday + the new additional mini-episodes on Sundays! 

I hope you guys like the new schedule!

#35- The Bizarre Kidnapping of an Unborn Child (Case of Lisa Montgomery)

They saw their dad as a "Half God" - the product of Lucifer mating with humans. 

They followed his every command whether it was - marrying him, fathering children with his daughter, having sexual relations with their own siblings, or even killing people who learned of his secrets. 

He led the FBI on a massive manhunt that would ultimately lead to the unraveling of his secret cult.

#36- Sexton Family Cult Murders (Case of Eddie Sexton & His Incestuous Family)

Two serial killers operating in the same state with the same goal - to be the next Ted Bundy. "A superstar" one says. 

They both have a thing for beheading women and staging the crime scene to look as if the victim's head is staring at her own headless body.

#38- Ted Bundy 2.0 (Serial Killers Danny Rowling & Charlie Brandt)

When a law student goes missing - you can’t help but suspect everyone in her class. Was this law school jealousy, a love triangle, or a random crime?

What if one of these very law students wrote about how to commit the perfect crime? Is this a situation of How To Get Away With Murder?

#41: The Law School Murder (Case of Lauren Giddings)

Guests of the Cecil Hotel started complaining about water quality issues - their tap water was brown and had a strange taste to it... 

They sent a maintenance man to go check on the water tanks on the roof that only staff had a key to - as it was a restricted access area and armed. 

There he found the body of Elis Lam in one of the water tanks. She had been missing for 3 weeks. How did she get up there? Why was she in the water tanks? What about the elevator footage? Things just get stranger from here...

#42- Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam

A convicted murderer - sentenced to life in prison - decides to start publishing children’s books, short stories, and even a memoir. The elite literary community soaks in every word and praises him for becoming a reformed man in prison. 

They even start a petition to the President of Austria to let this reformed man out and walk the streets amongst us! 

Once released - it’s his second chance to do the things he’s always wanted to do! Become a serial killer.

#43- The Vienna Strangler (Serial Killer Jack Unterweger)

Parul was just catching her breath as she stepped through her front door. She had left her 8-year-old son to watch her 6-month-old nephew all alone while she ran errands.

She saw her son playing with his toys but didn’t see the baby anywhere. So she asked her son-

“Where is the baby?”

He smiled.

She asked again till he finally responded

“I killed him. I smashed his head with a brick and buried him.”

This is the story of the world’s youngest serial killer.
