The Dyatlov Pass
<p>Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the well known case of “The Dyatlov Pass Incident”. Nine hikers went out into the Ural Mountains, attempting a level 3 hike, hoping to return home in about 16 days, only none made it back. There have been over 75 theories about what happened to maim and kill these hikers, ranging from military, aliens, KGB, natural disasters, murder, infrasounds, to so many more. However, over sixty-five years later we still have questions with a closed case and a lot of doubters.</p><p>Be sure to check out our other podcast recommendations:</p><p>True Crime Guys at @truecrimeguys on IG</p><p>Strange & Unexplained at @sandupodcast on IG</p><p>Our sources for this episode:</p><ul><li><p>https://dyatlovpass.com/</p></li><li><p>https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/05/17/has-an-old-soviet-mystery-at-last-been-solved</p></li><li><p>https://www.history.com/articles/dyatlov-pass-incident-soviet-hiker-death-mystery</p></li><li><p>https://www.discovery.com/shows/expedition-unknown/episodes/mystery-of-dyatlov-pass</p></li><li><p>Dyatlov Pass by Alan Baker</p></li><li><p>Death of Nine: The Dyatlov Pass Mystery by by Launton Anderson</p></li><li><p>https://sanperdidotradingco.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-dyatlov-pass-incident.html</p></li><li><p>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/SoLiOdJyCK/mystery_of_dyatlov_pass</p></li><li><p>https://www.rbth.com/history/332434-official-cause-of-death-of-the-dyatlov-group</p></li><li><p>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/04/europe/dyatlov-pass-incident-scli-intl/index.html</p></li><li><p>https://asiatimes.com/2020/07/night-of-horror-russia-closes-case-on-dyatlov-pass-mystery/</p></li></ul><p><br></p>

The Watts Family Murder
<p>Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the sad story of Chris Watts murdering his pregnant wife, Shan’ann Watts, and their two children, Bella and Cece. Chris hoped that people would think his wife took the children and ran away, but luckily there was some damning evidence that quickly surfaced to put this monster behind bars. Netflix had a special in 2020, “American Murder: The Family Next Door'' but they left out some things that we really think you need to hear. Are you ready to hate Chris even more?</p><p>Be sure to check out our other podcast recommendations:</p><p>True Crime Guys at @truecrimeguys on IG</p><p>Strange & Unexplained at @sandupodcast on IG</p><p>Our sources for this episode:</p><p>Documentary - Chris Watts: Truth & Lies of a Family Disappearance by A&E</p><p>Documentary - American Murder: The Family Next Door by Netflix</p><p>Documentary - Suburban Nightmare: Chris Watts by Tubi</p><p>Docu Series - Beyond the Headlines: The Watts Family Tragedy by Hulu</p><p><br></p>

<p>Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the life and crimes of Joanna / Joanne Dennehy.
