213: The Contestant: The Murder of Ruth Thalia Sayas Sanchez

from Castles & Cryptids · host Alanna Peters

Hey cryptic crew, we return with Kelsey's Peru true crime case pick, the case of Ruth Thalia and the game show The Value of the Truth. Should have probably called it, the truth hurts and yes, it's a rough one. A popular game show had just premiered in Peru for the first time, having been successful in many other countries already. The nature of the game is asking the contestant many questions before the show, picking some of the most gotcha questions in the show. Designed to embarrass the person, or at least cause some drama, it sparked anger in some until her very life was taken. This tragic story is the first of our 2-part Peru double-feature, it ran long and so did Alanna's so that will be dropping within the week for you beautiful people! As always more bonus episodes available on Patreon.com for the low price of 2$ at our starting tier. We just put out a Missing Persons May bonus. Keep it Cryptic!
