The Puzzling Murder of Ricky McCormick

Explicit content warning

02/23/22 • 23 min

This episode is about the puzzling murder of Ricky McCormick.

On the 30th of June 1999, police in St. Louis, Missouri discovered the body of 41-year-old Ricky McCormick dumped in a field.

The only clues regarding his murder were two encrypted notes found in his pants pockets.

Neither the FBI’s Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit (CRRU), or the American Cryptogram Association have been able to crack the code, and consequently, the meanings behind the notes remain unknown to this day.

Could these notes be the key to solving this cold case or are they simply gibberish?

On today’s episode we discuss the mysterious death of Stéphane Kameugne.

On the night of Dec 6th 2008, Stéphane Kameugne, a recent graduate from a prestigious engineering school in Châlons-en-Champagne, goes to his graduation gala and disappears.

The last time anyone sees him is in the early hours of Dec 7th.

Two weeks later his body is retrieved from the canal near the school. At first his death is ruled an accident, but when his parents insist on getting a second opinion, it is revealed that his death was in fact, not an accident at all.

To this day no one knows what happened.

So who killed Stéphane Kameugne?

[UPDATE] Where is Narumi Kurosaki? The Trial: Week One

This episode is part 1 of 2 that will follow up on the case of Narumi Kurosaki, a Japanese exchange student who came to France to study and disappeared.

Despite having never found her body, French police are convinced that she was murdered.

Her ex-boyfriend Nicolas Zepeda Contreras was the main suspect and after a brief back and forth with the Chilean courts, he was extradited to France in July 2020 to await trial.

The trial began on the 29/03/2022 and ended on the 12/04/2022.

We now finally have access to all the information surrounding the case, some of which has never before been disclosed to the public.
Ps: Sorry about the sound, my mic picks up everything and I live in a noisy area, still trying to figure out the best settings!
