Today we are discussing the mysterious death of a Jane Doe, known under the alias of Jennifer Fairgate. In June 1995, she checked into the Oslo Plaza, a 5 star hotel in Norway. She checked in to the hotel using the alias, paid all cash, and was found dead in her hotel room several days after checking in with a GSW to the head. The cirucmstances were unusual. Her identity remains unknown, authorities were unable to find any records for a person with the name Jennifer Fairgate, and there are no credible traces of her existence before she appeared at the hotel. Her death was ruled a suicide, but the gunshot wound was found to be inconsistent with the normal pattern of a suicide. Despite many years of investigation, Jennifer Fairgate’s identity remains unknown, and the true circumstances of her death have never been solved. The case has become a haunting mystery, with many questions but no answers. The lack of conclusive evidence about her identity or the reasons behind her death makes it one of the most enduring mysteries in Norway. Was it really suicide, as the police ruled? Was she an undercover agent, possibly from a foreign intelligence agency, whose death was meant to remain shrouded in secrecy. Or was she involved in some sort of illegal activity, perhaps as a witness, victim, or even a criminal herself?

The National Football League is an American football league composed of 32 teams, representing a multitude of states and cities. It was founded in 1920, originally named the American Professional Football Association, but was quickly renamed to the NFL that we know it as now. Original seasons run form September to early January, with each team playing 17 games with 1 bye week. Mid-January starts playoffs which is a single elimination tournament for the ultimate goal of winning it all in the Super Bowl. Last year we covered some conspiracy theories about if the games were rigged and staged. This year we are going to cover some smaller theories that you may not know of.

On November 24, 1971, the day before Thanksgiving, an unidentified man carrying a black attache case approached the Nothwest Orient Airlines desk at the Portland airport and paid cash for a one way ticket to Seattle. The ticket was sold to “Dan Cooper” and non-descript white male in his mid 40s with brown hair, brown eyes, dressed in a business suit and black raincoat. He boarded the Boeing 727, sat in the last row, and ordered a bourbon and 7-UP. He then passed a note to the flight attendant indicating that he had an explosive device and demanding $200,000 ransom, (the equivalent of $1.5 million today) as well as two from and two back parachutes. When the plane landed in Seattle, he collected the money and parachutes, allowed the 36 passengers to deplane, and instructed the crew to refuel and proceed to Mexico City via Reno, NV. About 30 mins after takeoff from Seattle, at approximately 8:13 p.m., evidence suggests that DB Cooper jumped from the aft stairwell, near the suburbs north of Portland. This remains the only unsolved act of air piracy in US history. Who was DB Cooper, and did he survive the dangerous jump?

Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister famous for his role in the civil rights movement until his assassination in 1968, at the age of 39. He encouraged non-violent resistance and non-violent civil disobedience, leading marches for desegregation and equal rights. He is most famous for his role in the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, and the 1963 March on Washington where he delivered his famous I have a Dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Despite his peaceful resistance, he was incarcerated several times and was an object of J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI Counterintelligence Program – which was a series of covert and illegal projects between 1956 and 1971 aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting “subversive” political organizations. They investigated him for possible ties to communism, spied on him, and secretly recorded him. In 1964, the FBI sent him a package with a letter and a tape recording alleging of King's sexual indiscretions as an apparent attempt at blackmail. On April 4, 1968 James Earl Ray, a fugitive from the Missouri State Penetentiary, allegedly assassinated MLK Jr. However, many including MLK Jrs family, believe James Earl Ray was just the patsy. What really happened to Martin Luther King, Jr?

On December 4, 2024, the week after Thanksgiving and well into the bustling holiday season, Brian Thompson, United Healthcare’s CEO was gunned down right outside of a hotel in Midtown Manhattan - where he was on his way to a shareholder meeting. In the chilling street camera video, you see the shooter loitering as Thompson approaches the hotel, before the suspect shoots the CEO in the back, fires a couple more, and then turns and walks away. In the days that follow, there is a massive manhunt in NYC. NYPD swept the city, even taking to the river, for the shooter and killer of Brian Thompson. Meanwhile, news channels and social media accounts shared the grainy picture of a similarly dressed man checking into a hostel days prior - a white male with a dark hood up over his head and a mask over his face. He’s shown leaning over the counter, his black mask pulled down, smiling at someone across the counter that is not pictured.

Then, on Monday, December 9, a phone call came in from a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, approximately 223 miles away from the crime scene, the caller claiming that someone matching the suspects description was there. The police, responding to the call, arrested 26 year old Luigi Mangione. Found on him during the arrest was the gun, the silencer, and a three page note detailing his plan to kill Mr. Thompson. But… something about Luigi’s thick eyebrows seems out of place and doesn’t match with the surveillance video that has many people pause over this seemingly too clean murder investigation. Outcries on reddit are claiming that Luigi is a Patsy, very much like our beloved Lee Harvery Oswald (Justice for Lee!), because how does one just get caught in a McDonalds with the murder weapon and a manifesto in his book bag just 5 days later? Is Luigi just too arrogant to believe he would be caught? Or is he being set up? Let’s get into it.

Since 1916, Boeing has been synonymous with safety and reliability. The company was responsible for the production of 100,000 airplanes for Allied Forces in WW2, the production of Air Force One, and revolutionizing air travel. The slogan was, “If it’s not Boeing, I’m not going”. Following a merger with McDonnell Douglas, experts agree that the company had a culture shift, in which perhaps finances were prioritized over safety. This all came to a head when Boeing did a rapid roll out of the 737 Max, in an attempt to keep up with their only competition, Airbus. Following a slew of poor decisions, there were two plane crashes, with 346 deaths. Since that time, a number of employees have come forward to report safety issues with Boeing and it's contractor, Spirit Aerosystems. Things had been relatively quiet for Boeing, until last year when a number of safety issues brought them back into the news. Following a 2.5 billion dollar loss, 50,000 lay offs, and a drop in stocks by 26% in the first quarter, two of the Boeing whistleblowers died under mysterious circumstances within 2 months of each other. Were these just unfortunate tragedies? Or was Boeing behind the mysterious deaths?

All aboard on this episode. Come with us on this trip through wild tales, smelly buses, and political drama. Join us for another listener request, as we discuss the secrecy behind Boston and New York City bus lines - specifically the history and drama of what was the Fung Wah, or should I say, the Fung "Ahhhhhh", as some of the passengers often did. Fung Wah was a bus system that would transport people to and from Chinatown in New York City to Boston, that closed suddenly in 2015. Today we are going to determine what happened to the buses after it’s closure. Were they bought by the MBTA, repainted, and sent back onto the streets? What really happened to Fung Wah?
