149. Khamar-Daban Incident & Chiquita Tate

CAN YOU BELIEVE EP 150 IS NEXT WEEK?!?!?! It's been 149 Thursdays of Creeps and Crimes with our besties, we could never thank you enough for being here and your love and support! Morgan starts us off today, covering the Khamar-Daban Incident of 1993. This mystery is incredibly similar to and referred to as "the other Dyatlov Pass", which Morgan covered in episode 26 (yes, season 1, you know the rules- just no). It was summertime in Southern Siberia, Russia, when a group of 5 students set out on their hike through the intense mountain range at the lead of their instructor, 41 year old Lyudmila Korovina, an experienced hiking instructor and survivalist. However, only 1 student would make it back alive after a mysterious illness took the lives of the other group members. This student, 17 year old Valentina Utochenko, was so traumatized that, after being forced to survive on her own in the mountains for 4 days before her rescue, she was unable to speak for years to follow. What do you think happened in those mountains?  Taylar then covers the Feb. 2009 murder of 34 year old Chiquita Tate, an ambitious and rising affluent criminal defense attorney in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After being discovered brutally murdered in her office, investigators first believed that her death was the result of a robbery gone wrong, but pretty quickly it became clear that this was no robbery- Chiquita was targeted. Her husband, Greg Davis (or Harris, depending on the sources), told investigators everything they needed to know about the timeline of their night in hopes of helping them solve the case and deliver his wife the justice she deserved. However, it became clear that someone was leaving out important details about this timeline, which would eventually lead investigators to their suspect. If you or someone you know is a victim of Domestic Violence- there is help available. To contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline in the US, call 800-799-7233 or text START to 88788. If you are unable to call or text and need another way of getting help, you can send a letter to Creeps and Crimes PO Box 11523 KNOXVILLE, TN 37939 with details, a return address, a safe phone number, and what you need from us. We will not message you or send a letter back, instead we will reach out to resources in your area and do our best to get you the help that you need. Sending light and love to all of the besties!
