Selene Delgado Lopez and Joanna Lopez: Real Missing Women or Non-Existent?

**Discussion begins at 7:30** In the late 1990s, Mexican Channel 5 would cut into cartoons and late night shows,  with a solemn voice and grainy black and white photos of missing people who had vanished without a trace.  One of these missing women was Selene Delgado, Lopez.  But decades later, nobody can agree on whether she ever existed.  Was Selene a real 18 year old who disappeared in Mexico City and whose case slipped through the cracks?  Or was she a media fabrication?  After all these years there are no official records, not family testimony, and no confirmed sightings.  And she's not the only one... In the 1980s, Chicago residents remember seeing a grainy black and white photo of another missing woman named Joanna Lopez that would air after the nightly news had wrapped.  But when the internet tried to solve the mystery decades later, things only got stranger. Records were scarce. Police files were practically nonexistent. Was Joanna ever truly reported missing? Was she part of a PSA campaign gone wrong? A broadcasting error? Or something else entirely?  This wee we are diving deep into these cases and attempting to get to the bottom of the truth about these two women.   Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2265385/open_sms] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/3schemequeens] Theme song by INDA

Was it extraterrestrial contact? A technical failure? Or a made up story all together?  Buckle up, adjust your tray tables, and prepare for takeoff as we revisit one of our all-time favorite mysteries.  Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2265385/open_sms] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/3schemequeens] Theme song by INDA

Second Birthday Episode!

We’re officially two years in, and this week we're celebrating!  After the cake and toasts, we dive into updates we had to talk about: Kait's thoughts on Stranger Things, Megan's reactions to the new Puff Daddy documentary produced by 50 Cent, new developments and unanswered questions surrounding the infamous Louvre Heist, Mangione legal updates, and the ongoing search for MH370.  It’s a birthday episode with big updates, familiar mysteries, and plenty of off-the-rails conversation, because nothing says “anniversary” like revisiting conspiracies that refuse to stay buried. Thanks for two incredible years… and here’s to many more. 🥂🛸 Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2265385/open_sms] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/3schemequeens] Theme song by INDA

RE-EDIT and RE-RELEASE: Diddy Super Episode

**Discussion begins at 2:35 ** To mark the release of 50 Cent’s new Netflix documentary on Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, we’re dropping a special super-episode stitched together from five of our most talked-about segments from the past two seasons.  In this extended deep dive, we revisit the rumors and allegations that have followed Puff Daddy for decades.  We explore everything from the early industry whispers that shaped his rise, to the darker stories that have surfaced in tabloids, civil filings, and jailhouse lore.  Of note, these episodes were all recorded prior to the criminal trial, in which he was acquitted of almost all charges and sentenced to 50 months in jail with time served for two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution.  He continues to face civil charges, with over 100 lawsuits filed and 77 still pending at the time of this release.   Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2265385/open_sms] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/3schemequeens] Theme song by INDA

RE-RELEASE: The Truth About Gabriela Rico Jimenez

**Discussion begins at 2:45** This week we are re-releasing a listener favorite from season 1, in which we did a deep dive into one of the strangest viral moments of the late 2000s.  On August 4, 2009, cameras caught a young woman named Gabriela Rico Jiménez outside a luxury hotel in Mexico, accusing high-profile figures of kidnapping, murder, and even cannibalism.  Police led her away on live television, and then she vanished from the public eye entirely.  Did Gabriela stumble too close to something powerful?  Or is this another case where rumor overtook reality?  Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2265385/open_sms] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/3schemequeens] Theme song by INDA
