  The Man Who Chose a Webcam Model Over His Family | S18E11 14.09.2026 52мин

  When Grant Amato was dismissed from his nursing job, he spent his time at home and increasingly became obsessed with live streamers, particularly a camgirl known as Sylvie. Over time, his obsession grew to a point where he was spending upwards of $2,000 on a single night; eventually dwindling all of his savings, and forcing him to borrow or steal money from his immediate family.  Eventually, enough was enough, and Grant's father put his foot down and gave him an ultimatum, find a job, fix your habits, or get kicked out of the house. This would end up becoming the final straw for Grant, and he would tragically choose his obsession over the lives of his family members. And yet, even from prison, Grant still wasn't done.   Tune in to find out more.   Reference pics: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/xecahxw0jlr8cc9kjhjdd/ABobRurQ_kcwSD1SB_W5h94?rlkey=fyohamxug276kfo7xa8jro85p&st=5y18hjze&dl=0   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The Great Maple Syrup Heist | S18E10 07.09.2026 44мин

  Deep in rural Quebec sits a warehouse the public was never meant to think about, a strategic reserve holding tens of millions of dollars in maple syrup, guarded like a national treasure. This was supposed to be the failsafe when something went wrong with the usual harvests, a safe haven protecting one of Canada's most beloved industries.    However, during a routine inspection, an auditor notices something that might threaten the very foundation of their institution, the barrels feel lighter than they should. Then another, and another, and another. Alarm bells were immediately rung, and by the end of the count, more than 9,000 barrels had been compromised.   As it turned out, thieves had somehow been slipping in, draining the syrup barrel by barrel, and refilling them with water to keep the weight; and they managed to do this without being caught for the better part of a year. What followed was a manhunt that spanned provinces, exposing the strange economics of Quebec's syrup cartel, and turning a handful of small-town conspirators into Canada's most unlikely criminal syndicate.    Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Butterflies Don't Choose Their Wings | S18E9 31.08.2026 50мин

  Maya woke up in a strange place that she didn't know. Surrounding her was lush greenery, gorgeous flower beds, and a serene natural beauty; the kind of place that only seemed to exist in fairy tales.  And yet, something about her whole situation seemed unnerving. After all, she last remembered being at a party the night before, before waking up in this strange place. This was when another woman, Lyonette, appeared and introduced herself to Maya. Through Lyonette, Maya learned about the peculiarities of this place, known as "The Garden". She learned that there other women here as well, and that they were being taken care for by a man only known to them as "The Gardener"; a mysterious figure who had established a strict set of rules for the women to follow.

  The Serial Killer Caught Because Of An Earthquake | S18E6 10.08.2026 55мин

  Wu Yinghong might have gotten away with his brutal crimes but it seemed like the universe had other plans for him.   In September of 1999, a couple of fisherman were fishing near the Shuangcui Damn in Xinshe, Taiwan, when they discovered a decomposed and swollen head lodged between 2 rocks. Further investigations over the next few days found more bones consisting of vertebrae, pelvis, left palm and left foot which were matched to the head, but despite numerous pleas and sketches sent to the media, no one came forward.   2 weeks later, a major event occurred that would reinvigorate interest in the case. On the 21st of September, 1999, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake devastated central Taiwan, leading to the deaths of thousands and the destruction of billions of infrastructure. However, amidst the chaos and the rubble, workers at Sun Moon lake discovered plastic bags containing the dismembered remains of 2 other victims. Given that the modus operandi were eerily similar to the earlier case, local police investigations into a possible connection, and finally found a proper lead.   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  A Look Back At Singapore's Darkest Days | S18E5 03.08.2026 55мин

  Singapore may be known today for its clean waters, its glittering malls, and its abundance of food spots and eateries, but only a few will remember how different the country used to be not too long ago, as well as the pains and sacrifices that it took to get us to where we are today. From the fall of Singapore, to life during the Japanese Occupation, and even to the brutal purging campaign known as Sook Ching, in this episode we take a look back at some of our darkest days to remind us of how far we've come, and how much we have overcome to make it to our nation's 61st birthday.  Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Two Teenage Girls and a Fully Planned Murder Plot | S18E4 27.07.2026 56мин

  On the 22nd of January 26, authorities at Lake Brantley High School in Florida received an anonymous tipoff that one of their students had plans to murder their fellow schoolmate. While seemingly implausible at first, police were nonetheless called in to investigate the matter, and 2 students, 15 year old Isabelle Valdez and 14 year old Lois Lippert, would be brought in for questioning the next day. What they uncovered however, was nothing short of disturbing; involvement in online communities revering serial killers, graphic drawings and images depicting murder, and fully fledged murder plot that was 20 minutes away from being realized.

  The Cult Leader Who Thought He Was a Doctor | S18E2 13.07.2026 55мин

  He had no medical training. No degree, no license, not even a single completed course. But what he had was absolute belief in himself, and the idea that his own hands were the instruments of divine correction. To the people who lived on his commune in rural Quebec, he wasn't just their leader. He was Moïse. A divine prophet and healer. And when illness or "impurity" struck one of his followers, he didn't call a doctor. He became one. With kitchen tools and whatever else was on hand, he performed surgeries no hospital would recognize. Teeth pulled without anesthetic. Limbs operated on in the name of purification. Bodies permanently altered by a man who told his followers that pain was proof of faith, and that questioning him was a sin only God could punish. By the time authorities finally intervened, the damage was carved directly into the survivors themselves. All permanent, and impossible to explain away. This is the story of Roch Thériault, and the commune known as the Ant Hill Kids.

  Break Pots, Sink Ships | S18E1 06.07.2026 49мин

  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.   Tune in to find out more.   P.S. We've included the idioms referenced in this episode in case you want to learn more:   Case 1 - 卧薪尝胆 (wò xīn cháng dǎn) Literal translation: Sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall Meaning: Enduring hardships in order to achieve a major goal   Case 2 - 兔死狗烹 (tù sǐ gǒu pēng) Literal translation: Rabbit dies, dog is cooked Meaning: Getting rid of the people who helped you once they are no longer useful   Case 3 - 指鹿为马（Zhǐ lù wéi mǎ） Literal translation: Point at the deer and call it a horse Meaning: To deliberately misrepresent the truth, distort facts, or call black white   Case 4 -  破釜沉舟 (pò fǔ chén zhōu) Literal translation: Break pots, sink ships Meaning: Forcing yourself to fully commit to a goal   Case 5 -  四面楚歌 (sì miàn chǔ gē) Literal translation: Songs of Chu from all sides Meaning: To be in a completely helpless situation   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Breaking Bonus: 180 Yuan After 8 Years 02.07.2026 28мин

  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.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Real Life Final Destination Stories | S17E11 22.06.2026 1ч 9мин

  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.   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  He Didn't Know He Was Dying... Until Reddit Saved Him | S17E10 15.06.2026 45мин

  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 08.06.2026 1ч 14мин

  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.   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  3 Idiots and an Ex-Cop Stumble Over a Phantom Bus-Stop | S17E8 01.06.2026 1ч 7мин

  In this episode, we bring back the much-loved mystery guessing game format, only this time with our beloved former policeman Vincent as well. So, why was a man found only in his underwear in the forest? Why do buses always skip this normal looking bus stop? And most importantly, can 3 bumbling idiots outwit an ex-cop in a guessing game?   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] Brought to you by Mediacorp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The Flies On The Glass Windows | S17E7 25.05.2026 45мин

  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.   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Between the Mattress and the Wall | S17E6 18.05.2026 52мин

  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.   Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  From Cannibal to Mukbanger | S17E5 11.05.2026 50мин

  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.    Tune in to find out more.   If you would like to get updates or reach out to the Stranger Danger crew, you can follow on Instagram @strangerdangerpodcastsg, hang out in our Discord, or send us an email at [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
