  • Summary

  • 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. Welcome to Rotten Mango but don’t worry it all comes with a seasoning of comedy/sweetness.

    #362: Genius Adopted Girl From China Found Dead - STRANGE Photos Found In Rich Parent’s Phone
    May 30 2024
    It was supposed to be a cute little road trip. 12-year-old Isabella, her best friend Asunta, and Isabella’s mom were in the car heading towards the beach. Isabella’s mom tried to keep the spirits high for the girls - “Okay, why don’t we all share a story! Get our creative juices flowing!” 12-year-old Asunta offers to start. Her voice suddenly shaky - “There once was a girl who laid in her bed to sleep. She awoke to a man in a mask dragging her body off her bed, covering her mouth, and then choking her with his big strong hands. The girl could not breathe. She could not scream. She was going to die.” Isabella’s mom pulls the car over to the side of the road because Asunta is bawling her eyes out. “Sweetie, are you alright?” Asunta was not alright. This was a true story, and it happened to Asunta - a man broke into their home and tried to kill her. But when Isabella’s mom talks to Asunta’s parents about it - she’s even more confused. Why are they not freaked out? Why didn’t they report this to the police? Who is this masked man, and is he still out there? Why would he want to kill Asunta? And did the man come back? Because 2 months later, Asunta would be murdered. Soon - everyone in Asunta’s life would become a prime suspect. Including her wealthy adoptive parents.

  • #361: NYC Top “Escort” Service Catering To Rich Married Men Turned Out To Be College S*x Cult

    #361: NYC Top “Escort” Service Catering To Rich Married Men Turned Out To Be College S*x Cult
    May 26 2024
    The Department of Justice makes a very public statement—it feels more like a threat. “Please do not reproduce, share, or use this exhibit in any way. If you have downloaded this file, please delete it off your device.” The DOJ had accidentally leaked a file they previously moved to seal from the public. Not one thing, nor one name was redacted. The file in question - is the client list to one of the most high profile sex workers in all of Manhattan. Her revenue in just a few years was in the millions of dollars - her hourly rate was $1500. It’s safe to assume that this leaked, ’sealed’ file includes the names of NYC’s upper elite. High peorfile businessmen, millionaire-married couples, artists, restaurant tycoons, and lots and lots of rich married men. Some of the names were recognized to be high level executives at Apple, other major retailers, one wealthy hedge fund manager, one international diamond dealer, and a former NY Supreme Court Judge. But they hadn’t just been listed as clients for sex work. They had all been named as alleged clients of a sex trafficking business run by a college cult. 10 years prior, a man had walked onto an elite private school campus to visit his daughter, a sophomore at the university. The man, her father, ends up staying on campus, living in his daughter’s dorm, and quickly begins the process of grooming and brainwashing all of his daughter’s friends. The result was a decade long cult. Some of the friends turned cult members were ‘promoted’ to chauffeur or solder. Others into forced labor. His daughter’s friends would become his wives.’ And that left one, forced to turn to sex work. They all served one old, middle aged man. This is the case of Lawrence Ray and his decade long cult of college students and sex.

    #360: Dad Moves Into Daughter’s College Dorm & Starts A Cult On Campus
    May 23 2024
    “Hey, can my dad stay with us for a little while after he gets out of prison?” It was an odd request but Talia’s roommates felt like they couldn’t say no. Talia was a good friend, she always talked about wanting to become a lawyer and help people. She just had this tiny little quirk… She was obsessed with her dad. Even at parties - she would not stop talking about what an incredible man he was. He’s just going to stay in their dorms while he looks for a new place. What could possibly go wrong? When Larry Ray moves into Talia’s dorm - he slowly starts brainwashing all of Talia’s friends. Soon, he will be sleeping in Talia’s best friend’s room. Encouraging the students to all have intimate relations with each other… while he watches. This would be the start of his decade-long college cult.

Just made a discovery about this case, it's crazy!

I've just recently started binge-listening to Rotten Mango for the first time and the timing of me finding this episode specifically being March 2023, is simply insane. I'm Portuguese and grew up surrounded by Brazilian people, media and culture so I identify things regarding Brazil to be close to me also, but I had never heard of this case before. So I just looked him up out of curiosity to see if I could find his online presence as mentioned in this episode, only to find out that he was literally MURDERED earlier THIS MONTH!!! 😱 It was all over Brazilian news, I came across loads of articles from the biggest Brazilian TV stations and news outlets talking about it. What are the odds that he would not only die, but be murdered literally just 10 days prior to me listening to this episode... 🤯😵

Absolutely obsessed!

Every Wednesday and Sunday I get excited for this podcast to drop! Stephanie is an amazing story teller. She is so engaging and the little additional comments from her fiancé make this podcast so charming and enjoyable, even when the content is sometimes so dark. I’m a big fan of her Baking a Mystery series as well, where she reviews and retells films and stories. Couldn’t recommend her content more!!

From Yt to Audible~

I came from Youtube to listening to your podcast on audible. I listen to your podcast whenever I do chores or while I was at my workplace. Every case is eye opening and bizarre. It reminded me of both good and bad stuff that I should be aware of. Thank you for the amazing content and thank you for sharing it with us :)

Can't stop listening!

Rotten Mango Stephanie is an awesome storyteller! I've been listening non-stop for the last week, after finding her on YouTube. She's the kind of narrator who helps me to visualise what's going on in the story.
