120. Murhaajien metsästys - Miriam ja Karen Rodríguez

Yksi Meksikon pahamaineisimmista rikollisjärjestöistä, Los Zetas -kartelli, kidnappasi 20-vuotiaan Karen Rodríguezin tammikuussa 2014 lunnasrahojen toivossa. Karenin äiti Miriam maksoi lunnaat ja teki kaikkensa tyttärensä löytämiseksi, mutta Karen ei koskaan palannut kotiin. Vaikka varmuutta ei ollut, Miriam tiesi sisimmässään, että hänen tyttärensä oli murhattu. Kun poliisitutkinta jäi lähes olemattomaksi, Miriam käynnisti oman tutkintansa - hän päätti jatkaa murhaajien metsästystä vaikka kuolemaansa asti. Piinan Kirous ilmestyy Podimossa joka torstai.

93. Richmond Hillin räjähdys

Instagram & Facebook: Piinan Kirous Sähköposti: piinankirous@gmail.com Marraskuun 10. päivänä vuonna 2012 Richmond Hillin asuinalueella Indianapoliksessa tapahtui valtava räjähdys. Räjähdys oli niin voimakas, että 80 omakotitaloa vaurioitui ja niistä 34 jouduttiin purkamaan myöhemmin maan tasalla. Mittavista ponnisteluista huolimatta, pelastajat eivät pystyneet pelastamaan kahta alueen asukasta Dion ja Jennifer Longworthia. Heti tutkinnan alkuvaiheessa heräsi epäilys siitä, ettei talon numero 8349 kaasuvuoto ja sitä seurannut räjähdys, ollut vain traaginen onnettomuus.  Podin tunnusmusiikki: Jukka Makkonen Lähteet: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/04/us/inquiry-into-indianapolis-blast-shows-scheme-gone-wrong.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/04/us/inquiry-into-indianapolis-blast-shows-scheme-gone-wrong.html] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Hill_explosion [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Hill_explosion] https://fox59.com/news/neighbors-speak-out-in-richmond-hill-after-leonard-guilty-verdict/ [https://fox59.com/news/neighbors-speak-out-in-richmond-hill-after-leonard-guilty-verdict/] https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/arts-and-culture/circle-city/richmond-hill-10-years-later/ [https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/arts-and-culture/circle-city/richmond-hill-10-years-later/] https://nextdoor.com/neighborhood/richmondhillindianapolis--indianapolis--in/ [https://nextdoor.com/neighborhood/richmondhillindianapolis--indianapolis--in/] https://www.wrtv.com/longform/the-night-the-sky-caught-fire-the-untold-stories-of-the-richmond-hill-explosion [https://www.wrtv.com/longform/the-night-the-sky-caught-fire-the-untold-stories-of-the-richmond-hill-explosion] https://cbs4indy.com/news/brother-of-mark-leonard-says-good-riddance-after-hearing-of-richmond-hill-culprits-death/ [https://cbs4indy.com/news/brother-of-mark-leonard-says-good-riddance-after-hearing-of-richmond-hill-culprits-death/] https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/arts-and-culture/circle-city/whats-left-of-richmond-hill/ [https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/arts-and-culture/circle-city/whats-left-of-richmond-hill/] https://fox59.com/news/gary-thompson-sentenced-in-richmond-hill-explosion/?utm_source=chatgpt.com [https://fox59.com/news/gary-thompson-sentenced-in-richmond-hill-explosion/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/father-recalls-family-deaths-10-years-after-richmond-hill-explosion/ [https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/father-recalls-family-deaths-10-years-after-richmond-hill-explosion/] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCDpd_I37mA [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCDpd_I37mA] https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/2017/11/10/richmond-hill-explosion-7-keys-solving-case/846607001/ [https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/2017/11/10/richmond-hill-explosion-7-keys-solving-case/846607001/] https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/2016/12/20/richmond-hill-suspect-monserrate-shirley-gets-50-years/95657520/ [https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/2016/12/20/richmond-hill-suspect-monserrate-shirley-gets-50-years/95657520/] https://www.wrtv.com/longform/but-for-monserrate-shirley-she-was-a-neighbor-a-friend-a-nurse-she-betrayed-it-all [https://www.wrtv.com/longform/but-for-monserrate-shirley-she-was-a-neighbor-a-friend-a-nurse-she-betrayed-it-all] https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/dion-and-jennifer-longworth-obituary?pid=178926775 [https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/dion-and-jennifer-longworth-obituary?pid=178926775] https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/147519695/jennifer-l-longworth [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/147519695/jennifer-l-longworth] https://fox59.com/victims/ [https://fox59.com/victims/] https://www.wrtv.com/news/indy-explosion/richmond-hill-he-was-just-concerned-about-jennifer [https://www.wrtv.com/news/indy-explosion/richmond-hill-he-was-just-concerned-about-jennifer] https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/2015/06/09/firefighter-thought-richmond-hill-blast-plane-crash/28739155/ [https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/2015/06/09/firefighter-thought-richmond-hill-blast-plane-crash/28739155/]

92. Lukevan miehen järkyttävä murha

Instagram & Facebook: Piinan Kirous Sähköposti: piinankirous@gmail.com Kun Brian Cohee II ilmoitti vanhemmilleen helmikuun viimeisenä päivänä vuonna 2021, että hänen autonsa oli lipunut Colorado-jokeen, sekä vanhemmat, että poliisit pitivät kokemattoman kuskin aiheuttamaa onnettomuutta lähinnä huvittavana. Edes poliisien havaitsema iso punainen veritahra auton puskurissa ei saanut heidän hälytyskellojaan soimaan. Järkyttävä totuus paljastui kuitenkin seuraavana aamuna, kun Brianin äiti soitti hätäkeskukseen ja kertoi löytäneensä poikansa vaatekaapista ihmisen pään.

91. Historiaan jääneet lottovoittajat

Instagram & Facebook: Piinan Kirous Sähköposti: piinankirous@gmail.com Historiaan jääneet lottovoittajat jaksossa käsitellään kolmea eri yhdysvaltalaista lottovoittajaa, joille äkkirikastuminen ei ollut oikotie onneen.  Urooj Khan voitti raaputusarvalla miljoona dollaria ja kuoli perheensä läsnä ollessa hyvin epäilyttävissä olosuhteissa. William Post III voitti yli 16 miljoonaa dollaria, mutta oli käytännössä katsoen rahaton vain kolme kuukautta voiton jälkeen. Uskonnollinen Billy Bob Harrell Jr. taas halusi auttaa lottovoitollaan kaikkia apua tarvitsevia, mutta miehen hyvä tahto koitui lopulta hänen kohtalokseen.  Urooj Khan lähteet:

90. ZZZZ Best - Barry Minkow

Instagram & Facebook: Piinan Kirous Sähköposti: piinankirous@gmail.com Barry Minkow perusti oman matonpesuyrityksensä ZZZZ Bestin vain 16-vuotiaana. Yritys kasvoi nopeasti ja Barry päätti laajentaa ZZZZ Bestin toimintaa myös liiketilaremontteihin, joista tuli pian yrityksen merkittävin tulonlähde. Alle 20-vuotiaana Barry Minkow, jota mediassa kutsuttiin nimellä Wiz Kid, oli onnistunut siinä, mistä monet muut nuoret yrittäjät vain haaveilivat. Hän oli menestyvän pörssiyrityksen johtaja ja miljonääri. Totuus kuitenkin oli, ettei ZZZZ Best ollut koskaan toteuttanut yhtäkään liiketilaremonttia.
