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.

It will be their first time seeing each other in 20+ years. The last time they saw each other was when they broke up after college. Now, so much has changed.  He’s gotten out of prison for killing his childhood abuser. She’s started her own business and moved on with her life. Maybe this is a bad idea. Maybe they have nothing in common anymore. Maybe it’s a college fling and they should leave it alone.  After all, they never even said a word to each other for 25 years. But when they see each other for the first time in that coffee shop. They’re back to college again.  She looks down and notices a briefcase.  “Do you bring a briefcase to all your dates?” He chuckles because inside that suitcase is proof. Proof that for the past 20 years he has never stopped thinking about her. Support Clark and his story: "Scarred" by Clark Fredericks https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Scarred/Clark-Fredericks/9781668018651    Full Shownotes: rottenmangopodcast.com

Woman Gets FB Message From Old College BF After He Killed His Rapist - This Is Her Response

What happened that day in that little house in the woods is not a debate. The evidence is all there. The blood, the wounds, the dead man lying on the floor of the living room. That night while the homeowner was watching TV - Clark Fredericks walked in, slashed at him with a hunting knife, stabbing him all over his chest, before finally slitting his throat. It’s a bloody killing. There’s blood splattered and smeared all over the room. Detectives have so many questions for the killer - Like why did he kill him? Why did he go and spit on his bed before leaving? Did he think that he was going to get away with this? What was the reason? And does he regret it? Today, we’re getting answers to those questions. This is our interview with Clark Fredericks. Support Clark and his story: "Scarred" by Clark Fredericks https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Scarred/Clark-Fredericks/9781668018651    Full Shownotes: rottenmangopodcast.com


I Sat Down With A Killer

It’s a little strange for a eulogy to go viral especially when it’s not dedicated to a politician or celebrity that’s passed, but this eulogy is for the joint funeral of a couple Kristin and James Brock. Killed in their sleep while their two daughters slept just a few doors away. The killer is still on the loose. Kristin’s eldest daughter gives the closing line of her eulogy, “I love you guys so, so much…I’m sorry.” A relative who is present at the funeral will later recall the teenager’s cadence - how it was one of the weirdest things they have ever witnessed. What is that voice they’re doing?It sounds like crying but not a single tear… Afterwards, the teenager, whose 5 year old sister was the one to find their parents’ bodies, goes down the line of relatives repeating the phrase, “I’m sorry.” Why is 17 year old Sarah Patrick apologizing to everyone when it was her mother and stepfather that were killed? Five months later and a digital footprint of tiktoks will give the police enough evidence to make an arrest. Authorities accuse Sarah Patrick. Could the teenage daughter who recited a eulogy for her deceased parents really be a killer performing a eulogy for her murder victims?    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

No one wants to visit. Some residents are ashamed to have an Nanjing address. Suddenly the biggest online diss you can throw at someone on Chinese social media is telling them that their husband or father is from Nanjing. It’s clear that after Uncle Red’s arrest, nothing and nobody is the same… but how the hell is an entire city impacted by one man’s arrest? For that, all you have to do is log onto Chinese social media and you’ll see it. I’m talking, screenshots, gifs, full videos, memes, AI parodies of Uncle Red’s crimes... Over a thousand graphic videos that captured hundreds of Nanjing residents in their most intimate moments between them and a partner. They had no idea Uncle Red was recording them.And they had no idea that the partner participating in the videos with them was actually Uncle Red too.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 


China's "Red Uncle/Sister Hong" Exposed W/ 1600+ Victims But Became The Biggest MEME

Almost exactly a year before John O’Keefe is found in the snow outside of Boston detective Brian Albert’s home,  Sandra Birchmore is found dead in her apartment in the middle of a blizzard. In her phone are thousands of messages between her and a police detective that indicate he is the father of her unborn child. But of course, it’s never that simple. For one, he’s married and his wife is about to give birth to their third child.And two, he legally, shouldn’t be in a relationship with Sandra. Nobody was supposed to find out that he had been grooming and assaulting her since she was 15 years old, a grade school cadet apart of his police explorer’s program. Now that she’s dead - everything’s about to come out into the open right? Not exactly.  When Canton PD and Massachusetts State Police investigate Sandra’s suspicious death, they rule her manner of death as a self exit. It would take the FBI 4 years to get involved and make an arrest.  From first glance, it appeared Sandra Birchmore’s connection to Karen Read ended with the fact that both crimes took place in the same town. But  when Karen Read’s defense team requests unredacted files from Sandra Birchmore’s investigation…netizens begin digging.  Many of the same exact officers that are going after Karen Read are the same ones saying Sandra Birchmore did this to herself. What are they all hiding?    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com


Investigators On Karen Read Case Connected To Death of Pregnant Girl That Had Been Abused By 3 Cops

Karen Read claims she did not kill her boyfriend. She dropped him off at a friend’s house for a party and he was found the next morning, deceased on the front lawn.  The party goers say that he never came inside which has everyone believing Karen Read ran him over with her car.  But she says that never happened. Then how do you explain the 40+ pieces of HER car tail light that were found at the scene? Well, it’s simple. She says she was framed. For murder.  Those tail light pieces were allegedly planted by shady cops that want her to go down. Law enforcement disagree, providing video evidence that nobody touched her car and nobody could have ever placed tail light pieces at the scene. Nobody believes Karen Read. Until it’s revealed that the so called CCTV footage from inside the police station… is altered.     Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com
