He Didn't Know He Was Dying... Until Reddit Saved Him | S17E10
Show notes
In this episode, Kady shares a series of stories where Reddit stepped in to help solve the case, and in one instance, even helped save a life.
In the first story, a user named RBradbudy1920 shares on Reddit that he has been receiving mysterious post-it notes in his bedroom, but has no idea how they got there. It was only after he was considering legal action against his landlord that someone chimed in with a keen observation, one that in hindsight might have actually saved his life.
In the second story, an elderly woman named Susan Rainwater goes out for a short bike ride only to be later found unresponsive in a ditch with her wrecked bike nearby. With little evidence on the scene itself, authorities were struggling to figure out who might have done this to Susan, until some vigilant internet users banded together and brought her the justice she deserved.
In the last story, a man is found dead at the scene of a car crash in 1995, but due to the extent of his injuries, authorities had no way to identify who he was except for some scattered personal items and a ticket stub for a Grateful Dead concert. Because of this, the man - who would later be dubbed "Grateful Doe" - would remain unidentified for decades, until a small group of online sleuths dedicated their own time to this case, and eventually found his identity.
