On March 14th 1989 Mark Kilroy, a 21 year old University of Texas at Austin student, suddenly went missing when he was separated from friends after leaving a bar. He had been having a great time letting his hair down whilst enjoying his spring break holiday in Matamoros, Mexico. Just like thousands of other tourists do each year.

Mexican & US law enforcement were quickly worried that Mark's unusual disappearance was suspicious & could be down to foul play.

But this suspicion didn't even scratch the surface of the truth that was to come or what fate really had befallen Mark.

As they actually had no idea what nightmarish horrors their investigations were just about to expose....

Because yes Mark had indeed met with foul play, he had unknowingly crossed paths with some incredibly dangerous members of a violent drug trafficking operation.

However it was much worse than that. These men were also members of 'Los Narcosatánicos' a terrifying & deadly cult that involved drug trafficking whilst at the same time practised rituals of black magic & human sacrifice inspired by 'Palo Mayombe'.

As police search an isolated Mexican ranch what they discover there was just so terrifying, so unbelievable, & so gruesome that it shocked & sickened even the most seasoned of investigators.

Whilst searching for one victim they end up finding the dismembered remains of at least 16 people. All of whom had been tortured & murdered as human sacrifices in these black magic rituals.

Todays case shows that no matter how many other tourists are around or how busy the fun bars you visit are, hidden amongst the party goers real danger could be watching & lurking.

Sadly this was the case for Mark Kilroy as his night on vacation led to him being kidnapped by a deadly cult & taken to their leader Adolfo Constanzo aka 'The Godfather' or 'The Devil Of Mexico'.

A man as charming & charismatic as he was dangerous & evil....

After a fun night of socialising with friends & having a letting your hair down many people have at some point ended the night by ordering a cab to take us safely home.

Or nowadays with the convenience of very accessible phone apps it is much easier to just order a ride-share, like for example an uber.

But what if the car that pulls up next to you as you're waiting for the uber you booked was not really a legitimate uber. And instead inside the vehicle waits a dangerous predator who has been circling around looking for an innocent victim? Sadly this is exactly what happened to bright, intelligent & popular 21 year old Samantha Josephson in South Carolina as she left a busy bar in 2019.

She accidentally mistook a car that pulled up right next to her as her uber driver.

Tragically by the time she realised it was actually a complete strangers car she was in it was already too late. Samantha was stuck inside, totally helpless with no way to escape as she was driven further & further from safety. Because her kidnapper had quickly activated the child locks so she was completely trapped...

In today's case we look at what safety precautions need to be taken to keep ride share users safe. It also leaves us asking the question how well vetted are ride share drivers? And just how many deadly sadistic predators are there hunting around in their vehicles masquerading as a cab & waiting for an innocent person to attack who was just needing a lift safely home ...

How well do we know someone that we would call a friend ?

How well would you need to know someone before allowing them to stay on your property so they're living amongst your most precious things?And nothing is more precious than a child family member, right ?

Well sadly this is how the family of little 11 year old Audri Cunningham said they had unwittingly allowed a monster into their home in Livingston Texas back in 2024 .

A friend they said needed help to get back on his feet ...

But instead this registered child sex offender had other ideas . He used the opportunity to kidnap Audri as she made her way to school . The nation searched as Amber alerts went out and her disappearance gained huge media attention ...

But tragically Don Steven Mcdougal had already committed the most deplorable sickening acts before killing her & disposing of her body .

In todays case we look at how much you can really trust a person you have not known for long , and how maybe if convicted sex offenders are more closely monitored or have more severe sentences then it could be easier to prevent harm coming to other innocent children just like Audri ......
