When I stumbled upon an old box full of V H. S. Tapes and police reports, I didn't expect uncover connections to several unsolved murders near my hometown a bit, investigating how these murders could be connected to a group called the lords of death. Check out this clip from the show.

So tied at two on his ARM. That was just letters. I said, L O D.

And I ask mike what L O D stood for. And I was told a stood for lords of death. So ask, you know, for the meaning behind IT.

And only a couple people had the tattoo, apparently. And in order to get the tattoo, you had to take someone soul as a murder. Someone is what I was told, but never really clicked with me, that I was like they were really the lords of death.

I could just see them being like a cool were the lords of death. And that really meaning nothing, is how I looked at IT. But I was wrong and meant a lot.

Treasure banks hosted the new tenderfoot v podcast lords of death, foreign free bench subscribe a tender foot plus a tender .

fu plus outcome .

as promised. Here is that and trace episode eight.

You're listening to status untraced, a production of tender for T, V. In association with odessa. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the individuals participating in the podcast. This podcast also contains subject matter, which may not be suitable for everyone. Listener description is advised.

Marana is a picture of town in the indian state of himself, perdition. IT is included and cocoon in its culture and social fabric. However, a midnight beauty looks a dog secret.

We ve heard whispers about this village, moana. It's here inside the poverty valley and known to produce what many say is the first in the world.

Each of the three fifty household in melani produces five kilos of hash. All of IT generates a total income of about seven point eight million U.

S. dollars. This guy substance is highly sought after. Internationally, a small amount, which sells for fourteen dollars locally, will in amsterdam go for at least two hundred fifty in india, is a criminal offence to consume, trade or grow. But meana doesn't really provide by country law.

It's quite obvious that this activity is illegal. Why hasn't there been any sort of intervention that has succeeded in this production? This village, people that concerned themselves to be the descendants of soldiers have examined the great.

You go to buy something there, and you will keep, not touch them. We cannot shake hands. You like to leave the money on the country, and they will come and pick IT up.

So such is the very strict abo on people to have outside links. But can that be a reason? No, that cannot be the reason. No policeman is allowed to come inside. And there, if somebody goes to complain to police and he has to pay a fine to the pencil out there.

So how does meana brazing run a drug trade? While it's simple, they don't allow the police in. This story was aired on october nine hundred th, two thousand sixteen, right? When search teams were looking for just an Alexander Justin, as we know, was dealing her.

She's in fact, he was travelling around with a kilo of IT. Yet in the entire coverage, there is no mention of him. The foreigner will become involved with the trade, or of the alarming pattern of murdered and missing tourist is tied to IT in any way. But the one fact they did cover is bizarre.

But the biggest chAllenge, of course, of for the law enforcement authorities to implement the law.

Why would law enforcement turn a blind eye to, in a legal drug trade, what's going on here that causes them to blatantly ignore their duties? One way to find out poor thread.

Want a sa cor a so.

Emily luxton, and this is datas untraced episode e don't lose your hope.

Were involved with .

you MC.

Since landing in india, I found the stories we ve been tracking have in a way shifted. Take, for instance, the death of the barber. What I gathered back in the states isn't lining up with what i've seen here. Alex and I are scratching our heads, second guessing every statement we've heard, wondering what we are missing. Is there anything .

we've overlooked? I was the first person from the two of us. IT was just done intentionally that we fell into IT.

As we've previously mentioned, our guides career in our steps are no strangers to the world's of missing person cases. With career just in from delhi, we sees the opportunity to sit down with them, both curious as to what we can learn from the incidents prior to had you guys ever worked .

on a crime case before, I was involved with one kiss way back in around the two thousand. And that's when a lot of western people were going missing from the under region in mani.

not former people, they were killed over that.

During that time, a lot of people got killed. And IT was definitely the same group of people, but no witnesses came up.

Kober calls a slew of horror stories about travellers who have mysteriously ended up missing or dead. In one case stands out. IT occurred almost exactly your prior to justice.

The friend of mine guy from poland, while he was staying here, he found out that there's somebody, polish guy who's GTA missing, so he wanted to see if he could be of any help. And he asked me if he, you can help.

Bruno musique, a twenty four year old from poland, was your typical college kid full of dreams of seeing the world. He graduated and was recruiting by the esteemed on stand Young as one of a select group of standout candidates. But before he swapped backup for a brief case, bruno set out on a solo trip to new delhi in july two thousand and fifteen.

He made his way to monody, a town just outside the poverty valley, and hang out there for about a week. Then nothing, no one heard from him. His girlfriend, on August nine was the last to receive a message.

I.

O something that that i'll be back in two days or three days.

Bruno's father biot grow worry when he didn't hear from his son. When bruno, mrs. Flight home biota, took action and flew to the valley, I had a chance to speak with the altering his friend Thomas, who expressed frustration with a local law enforcement .

police in the india is completely nothing, no modern equipment, nothing like a police should care, if you know. So we were travelling from place to place and try to collect any other evidence, is demonize people who might deliver any additional details to this story.

The only blue bruno whereabouts was his backpack he left at a manoa guest house, a sign like Justin that he planned to return. Together, more information, the oter spread missing person fliers around town, and his efforts LED to a pivotal conversation .

with that witness and let with two lay is a high .

mountain city north of kuu.

We went there and talking to local people around, and we found with guy in the shop, he was hundred percent swearing. I recognize him. A and brun a was, according to him, was sitting on a sofa.

And he described those two israel girls. He was asking web directly. I am from israel, said, yes, yes.

The alter and demand went to extreme links to identify these two israeli girls, including multiple trips to india and a trip to israel IT .

LED to nothing.

Later on, they got ta lead from a bus driver who recognized bruno's photo. He claimed to have drop bruno off in the valley around August, the day of bruno's last text. The driver said he picked bruno up from another part of the valley the next day.

After that, we didn't find any more traces. So after one and how long we came back poland weeks later.

the alternative mos returned to india first, second trip and found another eyewitness. This time in new delhi.

This lady recognized bruno with two guys in the leave. After arrival, those two guys very well, well known to the police as a drug dealer and unlevel arms sellers.

From conversations with his son, peyote knew that bruno had been spending time with a new delhi local named solution. He didn't have any background on the guy, but fear he could be dangerous. Peyote relate the tip to the police who launched a court needed effort to find solution and arrest him.

We are the heart of sala and the police. In monday, they interact about the situation we .

in custody. Police demanded similar saluda to reveal the WhatsApp conversations on his phone left with no option, solution complied.

So he wanted him to get you some hash fault from something. Now.

that was in the text.

and that was in the text. Yeah.

solution had been guiding bruno on where to buy and sell drugs.

So bruno bot stuff in delhi.

stuff like that from solution.

how much they buy?

No clue to he, ici wanted to. And and then solution was.

you know, guiding him, okay, you go to the sky and you bring some stuff for me. Also.

they track down slug's contact. He was in the ancient village milani.

The moana guy said he never.

I never met him. Yeah, he said he called.

he called me, but he never met me.

The malta guy was arrested as well, but with the case having gone called, both men have since been released from police custody.

I think that in this region um we are organizing rave parties, which is music party, drinking drugs altogether, mix in the party.

rather outdoor worries attended by hundreds. They're almost entirely unsanctioned and .

tend to be deep in the woods. So probably not tempted him to go to this region. And it's why he said he will be back within three days. So we were thinking that maybe they used him for a legal doctor picking.

Years have past and bruno's fate remains a mystery. No further clues, no leads, just silence. There are iri overlapped with justice case as she's dealings, dodgy meet ups and then and nearly the same time of year they're gone.

What IT means, if anything, i'm not sure for pelter, the search never ended. He still makes strips to the property valley, hoping to find something, anything, to bring closure about what happened to his, his son. Although IT breaks my heart, I had to ask, with so few leads to follow, what drives him to keep looking?

We need, uh, share the information because I have hope. Maybe when do someone accidentally knows about the case of bruno and catch a new place? Maybe this guy .

who's from polish embassy when we were leaving, I call to him to say goodbye. And he said, hey guys, one guy, he went missing for thirty years. He disappeared.

Why he was hiding himself, why he disappeared, nobody knows. And now he called me, he wants police passport and go backcourt after thirty years. So he said, don't lose your hope, because some completely unremarkable able things may happen.

As you may recall, a tourist named the roof algoma recently went missing here. The case got the attention of a mumbai news team whose arrived in the valley to investigate his disappearance. We met with that team.

They requested to keep her conversation off record. But before parting ways, one of their members are local, discretely pulled me aside. He whispered that he knew things about bruno, information that wasn't public, and he was open .

to talk.

The foreign media always said, you know, the death valley, I don't call the death valley.

I find myself on a dirt path, is included forest, my heart racing with anticipation. There's a whole neighborhood back here, which is only accessible via a rope bridge that hangs over the river. IT feels like the kind of place you would go to stay under the radar. Avoid the law.

I should be called the death valley because these guys are debt. Maybe one of them is alive, maybe sitting in some part of the country, maybe in color, you know? No.

raz, as we call him, requested we meet here. He asked to remain anonymous, but his eagerness to talk poured out, like the sweat on the skin.

What about the roof? what?

What is we got no clue on? His parents tell us he was going to lose weight. He thought he lose four, five cases.

If you like to kill longer, there is a very stupid thing to say. Then the next day, the Better than said us, please check marana. Maybe some super game.

And maybe given that, what is he? Some child, and sometime boy, does not act, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink. He had a flight next day.

So does a man come just for one day to go to kid gun and come back? I find IT tough to believe. Actually, there's something more to the story as they are writing.

While he claimed to know nothing new about the of algy's case, rows has promised me some safeguarded clue about bro motion league.

What you were saying, you know some self about bruno t to drive into that as I thought .

that he was just buying .

drugs or he was trying to sell lum.

We meet the guy who brother was in that with marana.

okay.

Have the money to make. So what the guy mani is, he got down at kata ga, got down on the bus room there, and then he supposedly came to my party. And nobody knows after that would happen. Maybe you put some L, D, maybe all of the village, but I don't think it's easy to fall off the bridge and somebody .

pushes you .

this word of mouse. Nobody knows what exactly happened. Yeah, I I got news from a government official, which I cannot name anyone, but saying that he was murdered .

when .

rose was with a mumbai new's team. He says they poked around a bruno was case of IT and an individual. They spoke to repeat a similar story.

Not to take the life of the guys who you spoke to, which I spoke to someone you told me.

drugs.

Leo is not in india name, and any other details about this guy is a dead end. We don't even know if he actually exists. And the individual who made this accusation isn't responding.

He is refreshing to take my course all because the guys work with me, the all your team, but I give you his best guard. I thought that I don't give your guard to anyone. What you fuck you up to get a few 说 的对， perspectives of IT， you know, like everybody e's, has their own story about bruno. Who do you believe bruno has gone?

Everyone has a different story, but with two sources allegedly claiming the same thing, we have to consider, like Justin case, if murder could be a potential scenario. So I ask us if he had to speculate, why would someone kill bruno?

You know what? Yeah, a lot of people from you and from the us. Ideas of rugs.

So there's a five times profit IT more than that, so many people do IT. And most of these guys are europeans. OK thing is partially, I there is a place, hundred percent, we call me on drugs. S were earlier in the nineties, I used to with money. Charles is .

concentrated, her, she's.

And then they would finish buying terrace and come down the way back. There were killed by the same way as well on the terrace. When the money would be taken luck, they are people used to discipline that.

Nobody like the people from manana his village people don't like the banana people. They say the guilty people. Okay, there is no proper court or anything. They don't follow the indian constitution .

because they have their own democracy of .

their too correct cracking. But as an outside that you cannot even touch them. The mindset is very different. They are friendly if you have money, because they know you come to buy Chris.

and then they tell you on the .

sound like rose.

said IT before calling his home, the value of death doesn't sit right with him. But from what i'm picking up, he's saying the heavy drug scene and undercurrent of my mona kind of paints a target on the backs of foreigner thought to be walking around with words of cash. To me, that makes sense. And if true, that's a huge issue that can be ignored but rather is also quick to point out it's not that cut and dry.

I have a question for you guys being americans. I mean, when a foreign tourists come here, do you think you'll be attracted to the culture of this place of, you know, we want to smoke up. I think ninety nine, nine point nine percent people will come and smoke for sure.

So just a question for you guys, how is the place responsible for IT? The place is never responsible, that is, the individual come, come smoke up. I mean, I have no shows a smoking of man, come on.

But the point is, be responsible enough. You cannot share your responsibility, walk into a jungle, drunk or baby on some chemicals and false someone into a river and expect people was modeled. So we do not know what exactly happened to these people. We actually have no clue what happened to these people. We are just assuming .

there's a problem with speculating murder, why I risk everything and kill a foreigner for petty theft. Not saying that IT doesn't happen, but murder over some cash or a bit of drugs seems extreme. So then we come back to why bruno, why Justin, or they simply at the wrong place at the wrong time? Or is there a deeper, darker reason for their disappearances.

as there ever been openly known israeli, russian and italian mafia Operating.

This area. You can go IT mafia, but .

everyone doesn't.

There is no outside mafia, but everyone calls IT mafia thinking about what that means. It's than a more sinister thought grips me. What if tourists aren't targeted by chance? But as part of a calculated plan, who would profit from their disappearances?

This guy he's been highlighted by the police, the department and all as a rescue guy yeah um we believe from our research and things that he could be the culture the people were always you think he's .

like robbing them and and taking the .

stuff he's basically murdering.

H, I think to go to the bat.

We were suspect that he didn't search the problem at the only talk about the searching and did nothing.

Corkin is a well known search in rescuer who've been told this year clear of brun o's father before arriving in the valley, hired the surgeon rescuer to look for his son, a decision he now says he heavily regrets for legal reasons. We've a decade cork's real name .

the story. We pay him may be hundred fifty dollars or hundred dollars per day to search the, and he told us he searched the bruno all the time. Peyote was swayed .

by corkins online portrait as the most horology tain rescue Operation in the verty when peo dron thas arrived in india kr connection at the airport and escorted them to areas where he claimed to have explored for the surge. At one of these parts, he introduced to some women who he said assisted the investigation to MaaS, recognizing the women were islamic, spoke to them in russian to confirm these claims.

And IT was completely different statements from those people, these ladies, russian, ukrainian ladies, they said with, we never saw him. He came back for the first time ever, so he's treating and lying from the very beginning.

Peyote immediately pull the plug on cork han, opting instead to invest thirty thousand dollars in the israeli private investigation firm magness international. He was taken a back to later learn that magnets outsources some of their work to call on.

And we think about him. He finds the people who are missing, but only the bodies, but the guy, he have contact with mafia. He know everyone in the party, and for me, in my opinion, i'm sure he know what was happy for me. Suspect cRicky .

tail surrounding corkin keep reappearing later, moon dog dish stopped by our hotel and deep translates .

their story of nog rescue with the equipment and all these things. He's just a name.

Mono were calls a baffling incident involving corkins company. They were hired to recover a body from the river.

They first let do IT. He took four days he was like doing with the letter than they thought, no, we do with this way. Within after four days, they said, okay, you're done now.

So should we try? They took three hours to do IT. Once the body was lifted to the road, quickly came over there, took a cell l fee with the body and saying, oh, the certain rescue mission successful.

You made a news on that. Has anyone tried to report as being like a fraud of?

No, he is very good dealing with the politics .

and jug dish, which is to avoid making any comment about cork n on record.

He says, I don't want to make a Better regarding him because it's not a good idea to do that, but there are lots of rumors about at the moment.

I ask what rumor they hear most often.

but now it's a rumor that basically what he does, even if the team finds the body, they try to hide IT for few days so that the money is counting.

I'll admit I initially brushed off cork. He wasn't involved in judy Alexander's case, so I didn't find him relevant. Now i'm not so sure these murmers hinting his mixed up in disappearances is IT i'll talk or is IT real? I can't be sure until I hear inside of things, so I send core kona message on facebook, which I can tell he seen but ignored, so I call him.

Hi mr.

Yes.

my name is liam looks. And I made, uh, producer from the U. S.

I introduced myself to call k on, explain the podcast and ask for an interview.

Yes.

sir, I am here in castle today.

Yeah, can can .

we meet .

you tonight?

And I, can you come, can you come here to a the the hang out?

你 别 去。

Better to go there。 Can you get me an address to come to?

Forward to it's then .

that I .

notice R T pacing the room.

I was saying, do not know I how you feel. What are the lives that you getting from? No, when you guys alone.

I set my iphone to record. So the audio quality isn't Stellar here. But what r is suggesting is that, alex, I meet corkin without him yes.

So that's what .

I feel. I don't want you to know that like someone has been telling OK out to yeah, is what you have figured out yourself. So that makes them more comfortable.

Yeah, what do you think?

gales?

I think that's smart. yeah. I have reservations about conducting this interview without our steep, but I get this reasoning, the more of us in the room and bringing a local with us, the more guarded cork n might be. As I think about IT further, I consider another possibility.

What if I go solo minutes before .

the interview, I pit to the team kober, whose against the idea reluctantly proposes a safety net, a back up plan to keep tabs on me.

You can call us, we can listen to you. Here I I just going .

to put on the first.

The taxi pulls up outside .

the hotel and omi missed hangs stick in the air that I ride through the mountain roads. The same。 Across the river lies my destination, a three story brick fortress perched on the mountains edge. Arresting lamp flickers above the main entrance.

A cold wind lips at my back. Nobody comes outside.

So 那。

刚才。

I'm guided to a large, then, with long black leather couches in the corner rises the thin man in a full camp of large jumpsuit. It's him corkin. Back at the hotel, alex and the guys huddle around the phone listening as I introduced myself.

I'm complete the on edge because it's me, corkin and six other men. I wasn't expecting to be here. A lot of people there.

Despite idea sending him.

Coming up on status, on traced or that I have one last rumor that I need to ask you about um so .

someone .

told me that they believe that you are people on your team are making tourists disappear to create more business. What you what do you have to say about that?
