OP decided the way to win his ex back was to dress as Bigfoot again, sneak into her backyard, and play 'Sorry' by Buckcherry on an old stereo. The stereo was too quiet, so he started staring through her bedroom window. A neighbor saw him. He tried to break in. He hurt his back fleeing.

The third story is the emotional heart of the first half. A single mechanic offered to help his new neighbor Cassie with her car and told her 13-year-old son Kenny he could come over to play video games. Over three years, a genuine bond grew: OP taught Kenny about cars and mechanics, took him to the shop, encouraged him to aim for engineering, and became a constant presence at family dinners. [1] — Morgan Absher "Neighbor mechanic friendship grew over 3 years: A mechanic spent three years being a genuine neighbor and mentor to a single mom's son befo…" 40:15 He got COVID and Cassie nursed him back to health. When Kenny's friend called OP 'Dad' at a gathering, OP was shocked — he'd always thought of Kenny as a little brother. When he asked Cassie about it, she smiled and admitted she was asking him out. Morgan and Jenna are delighted throughout: the foundation was already there, he just didn't see it. Reddit's top comment said it perfectly: he'd already been fulfilling the job requirements before he was hired.
Before diving into the episode's lighter content, Morgan Absher addressed the murder of a man named Alex in Minnesota and ongoing human rights concerns, saying she doesn't care what side of the political aisle you're on — if you aren't enraged by what's happening, 'we got beef.'
A 24-year-old man working toward a PhD had never fried an egg or washed his own clothes — and when his girlfriend asked him to live alone first, he offered to pay extra rent so she'd do all his chores. The final compromise? Hire a maid for his half. She dumped him.
A 24-year-old man with a PhD-track science career had never cooked an egg or done laundry because his stay-at-home mother did everything for all five men in the house.
Rather than learning life skills, the man-child boyfriend proposed paying 75% of rent so his girlfriend would handle all cooking, cleaning, and household management.
The boyfriend's ultimate 'compromise' was to hire a maid for his half of the chores rather than learn any life skills himself — a deal-breaker that ended the relationship.
A man used ChatGPT as a de facto lawyer, sharing self-incriminating details in his chats. When the transcripts were subpoenaed, the judge ruled no attorney-client privilege applied and admitted the chats as evidence against him. AI first passes are useful — treating AI as your counsel is dangerous.
CIA operative Edwin Wilson armed Muammar Gaddafi with 10,000 machine guns and 20 tons of C4 hidden in barrels of mud and flew them to Libya himself. He was sentenced to 52 years and served 12 in solitary. He was also a founder of the same arms network Oliver North contracted for the Contras.
Kim Dotcom's legal nightmare had nothing to do with copyright infringement. He donated to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange — and the US government charged him under RICO statutes, seeking 186 years in prison as payback.
More than a decade after his indictment, the US is still trying to extradite Kim Dotcom from New Zealand — even after he suffered a stroke. He cannot be convinced the authorities are on his side; only the legal process, run by his lawyers, keeps him free.
The illegal wildlife trade and the drug trade aren't just parallel industries — they actively overlap. Smugglers force-fed cocaine to boa constrictors to evade customs, packed drugs beneath layers of live animals in crates with spitting cobras on top, and exploited the chronic under-resourcing of US Fish and Wildlife inspection teams.
Mario Tabraue was sentenced to over 100 years in prison for murder and drug trafficking. He served 12. Nobody — not even the DEA agent who put him there — knows why he got out. That agent, Larry Lovelace, now lives in rural West Virginia with a gun within reach every night, still expecting retaliation.
Anson Wong from Malaysia was the Pablo Escobar of the global reptile trade, supplying rare animals — including Komodo dragons — to buyers across the world. He was caught in a sting, extradited to the US, and served the longest wildlife crime sentence at the time. The animals seized from him went on to stock some of America's biggest zoos.
Zelig Williams landed a role in Hamilton at just 19 while still in college — a rare achievement in a world where most Broadway dreams die young. By 28 he was a veteran ready to mentor the next generation, until he disappeared without a trace on October 3, 2024.
Season 5 of Dateline: Missing in America brings six new unsolved mysteries. The show is explicitly asking listeners to engage — because a detail someone remembers might be the break investigators need.
