    The Dyatlov Pass Incident

    Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the well known case of “The Dyatlov Pass Incident”. Nine hikers went out into the Ural Mountains, attempting a level 3 hike, hoping to return home in about 16 days, only none made it back. There have been over 75 theories about what happened to maim and kill these hikers, ranging from military, aliens, KGB, natural disasters, murder, infrasound, to so many more. However, over sixty-five years later we still have questions with a closed case and a lot of doubters.

    The "Mr. Cruel" Case

    Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss one of Australia’s most notorious crimes, still unsolved to the date. Mr. Cruel was a particularly scary man who was breaking into homes in the 80’s and 90’s to abduct, rape, assault, harm, young girls. This case is a little graphic and hard to handle with it having mentions of children, but it is a case that NEEDS talked about and solved. The families need closure.

    Nicholas Barclay, the Imposter

    Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about Nicholas Barclay, the 13-year-old child who went missing from San Antonia, Texas. The family was mourning the loss when miraculously three years later, someone turned up. Supposedly Nicholas was found in Spain!
