With the ever-growing popularity of social media, a new wave of crime is emerging. In this week's episode we talk about just two recent cases where social media has played an integral part.

First, we cover the rise of Trash Streamers, in particular Stas Reeflay (full name Stanislav Reshetnikov) who abused his girlfriend, Valentina Grigoryeva, live on YouTube whilst people paid him to torment her. In the Trash Streaming culture, this behaviour is not only accepted but actively encouraged and when things turn darker than ever before, some people turn their computers off but others pay good money to continue watching...

In our second story, we talk about the case that a group of teenagers blew wide open in the midst of the Covid pandemic in the summer of 2020, when they happened across a suitcase whilst using the app, Randonautica.

When police found human remains inside the suitcase it sparked an investigation, which, so far, has left us with more questions than answers. The case of the Tik Tok Suitcase Murders appears at first glance to have been pretty much solved but additional evidence suggests there may be a fair amount more to the story.
