From there, he was shifted around to various locations throughout North America until ultimately landing at Sea World in Orlando. As you could imagine, Tilikum didn't take well to his new surroundings. He was seemingly bullied by the other orcas and caged in a 20x30ft cage during non-show times. This lead to the belief that Tilikum developed psychosis. As he began to deteriorate mentally, his behavior became increasingly more unpredictable.….as to be expected. As of 2023, there have only been four deaths resulting from captive orcas. TIlikum is responsible for three of them. This includes one poor soul, who broke into the park after hours and thought it would be a good idea to take a swim with him after hours. Join us as we tell Tilikum's story.

The unnerving thing here is that many believe this young lady never even existed at all. On 1/14/89 as a Chicago NBC affiliate was going off air in the early morning hours after the conclusion of the national anthem, a bizarre missing person ad displayed on the screen. It was a very low quality, extremely non descriptive missing person poster of Joanna Lopez. As you can see, the picture itself offers little in way of identification of this young lady. The screen remains as is, with this photo, no voice-over explaining the case, nothing but a phone number of the Chicago police missing children division. The image stayed on the channel for hours with nothing but the eerie sound of static in the background. From there, it only gets weirder. Till this day, no one has been able to identify Joanna Lopez.

      Perhaps the most compelling reincarnation claim of all time. Next week, we examine the case of James Leininger. Born in 1998, James, by the age of two on, began to recall various events that he said took place in his life. Obviously, at such a young age, this would impossible……..or would it? So many of the details that James described were found to match eerily similarly with the life of James Huston Jr, an American pilot killed in WWII in 1945. From there, the story only gets crazier! This one is absolutely insane!

    In the early morning hours of June 2, 2007, Hugues de la Plaza was found dead inside of his San Francisco apartment. Stabbed to 3 times in his chest and neck. Security cameras show Hughes entering the home by himself. Even more bizarre, his door was locked and there was no trace of anyone entering/leaving his residence. Yet, neighbors claimed to have heard a scuffle taking place within the apartment. Police seem to believe this was a suicide, but Hughes family believes he was murdered. This is a case shrouded in mystery and much internet sleuthing since 2007.   Patreon Page: https://patron.podbean.com/betweenthecrackspodcast

Unfortunately, it was all true. The worst part was that the culprits were the children's own parents. This is a case that you won't soon forget.
