We walk through the red flags leading up to the tragedy, the system failures that let him slip through, and the internet’s obsession with linking his story to MK-Ultra and government cover-up theories.We keep it balanced, factual, and grounded… with just enough tinfoil hat energy to acknowledge the conspiracy chatter without living in it.If you’ve ever wondered how a walking SoundCloud stereotype sparked both horror and conspiracy at the same time, this is the episode.
