Summary

The FBI agent walked into the warehouse. It was exactly what he expected… A concrete fortress, barely any natural light, and then he saw it. The walls. The walls were filled with rows and rows of decapitated heads, skulls, and bones. Some still had rotting flesh on them - others were completely skeletonized. When the FBI agent made it to the back he came face to face with the man. He was shirtless, barefoot, and stirring a giant pot with a head inside. “I wasn’t expecting you today” - the man said... Do they know each other? What is behind the mysterious Vidocq Society? Book Rec: “Murder Room” - by Michael Capuzzo (One of my fave books this year and brb while I go read all his other books. Do yourself a favor and read this one!)

Welcome to this week's Mini-Sode of Rod and Mango. I'm your host Stephanie Sue, and

0:36.8

today we're talking about the FBI agent. He had hesitantly walked through the warehouse

0:41.8

store. I mean, everything looked worse than he thought. He was expecting some grime,

0:46.3

some durch, some coldness, but there were no windows in this big warehouse room. It was

0:51.7

essentially a giant concrete block. There was some natural light coming from the skylights,

0:57.2

but really nothing. The walls though. This is the part that would have made anybody, except

1:02.6

for this seasoned FBI agent sh-t, their pants. This is the part where you would have gags,

ran out the door, screaming for Jesus and your mom. It would have been bad. On the walls,

1:13.6

there were rows and rows, shelves upon shelves of decapitated heads. Some of them, with

1:22.7

rotting flesh, still stuck to them. Some of them with their eyeballs still in. Some of

1:27.0

them were completely skeletonized, just displayed for the whole world to see whoever walked

in. It wasn't hidden in a vault or a safe- it's just right there. Lined up on these shelves.

Real? Yes. The FBI agent walked cautiously into the kitchen of the warehouse, which was
