#91: Teacher Stalked By Student For 15 Years (Case of Mary & Beth Stauffer)

The 17 year old girl woke up in a panic. Where was she? It was so bright and cold - a hospital?  She turned her head to the left - a pale dead body. She tried to scream but her voice wouldn’t work. She looked to her right - a dead body. She wanted to jump up and run out of there but half of her body was now paralyzed.  She had woken up in a morgue with half her hair torn out, she couldn’t move, and she didn’t even remember her name.  All she knew was earlier she was in a forest staring at the werewolf.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The blood on the gym walls, the FBI agent’s high school son who had problems with KJ, and why were KJ’s organs missing?  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com New Merch available at https://Fanjoy.co/stephaniesoo Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
