Episode 49-Cyber Cannibal

Published: Nov. 22, 2019, 3:30 a.m.

In possibly our most graphic episode to date, I introduce to you Armin Meiwes, AKA the Rotenburg Cannibal. Sit back, kinda relax, and listen in for one of the craziest stories I’ve ever told, and please, don’t eat your friends. Today’s episode is sponsored by Wondery and the Los Angeles Time’s new show, Detective Trapp. Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives. She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs -- as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.”
