Deep dives
The Discovery of a Brutal Crime Scene
In November 2010, detectives found the detritus of a brutal crime when they discovered the body of a mutilated teenage boy in Milton, Massachusetts. The victim, initially unidentified, exhibited severe trauma, including broken legs and a battered face, leading the detectives to believe foul play was involved. Pieces of plastic scattered around him were puzzling and did not seem to fit with any logical explanation regarding the crime context. The detectives theorized that the boy had been run over and dragged, sparking an investigation that initially zeroed in on a group of college students found nearby.
Unraveling a Complex Web of Lies
After questioning a group of college students who discovered the body, detectives began to suspect more than mere coincidence. These students originally claimed to have stumbled upon the scene but were caught in conflicting statements, particularly regarding their delay in calling 911. A bloodied vehicle connected to them added to the suspicion, yet their accounts of finding the body became increasingly dubious. As the investigation unfolded, new revelations came to light, suggesting that their presence at the scene wasn't as innocent as they portrayed.
The Identity and Circumstances of Delvante Tisdale
Investigators eventually identified the victim as 16-year-old Delvante Tisdale from Charlotte, North Carolina, leading them down a trail of confusion and unanswered questions. Unusual flight patterns raised serious implications; Tisdale was missing from Charlotte on the same weekend of the incident in Massachusetts, suggesting a bizarre journey. Detectives learned that he had run away, although it was unclear how he traveled nearly a thousand miles. His family expressed disbelief, unable to understand how their seemingly perfect son could have ended up dead so far from home.
The Shocking Conclusion
Eventually, an investigation into airport security revealed a shocking theory about how Delvante had ended up dead in Massachusetts. It was determined that he had stowed away in the wheel well of an airplane bound for Boston after sneaking onto the airport runway. Tragically, during the flight, he succumbed to the extreme conditions and fell from the plane as it approached Massachusetts, landing hard in the affluent neighborhood. This harrowing conclusion exposed the complexities of his death, ultimately turning a sensationalized story into a tragic reality, serving as a reminder of the dangers of such recklessness.
This is a special bonus episode of our new format called, "You Can't"
On a dark fall night in 2010, two detectives stood in the street in an upscale suburban neighborhood outside of Boston, Massachusetts. In the middle of the road – lit by their flashlights – lay the body of a teenage boy. These were two veteran detectives, but neither of them had ever seen the type of brutal violence that had been inflicted on this young man. His legs look shattered, his jeans had been shredded, and his face was bruised and broken. The detectives felt sure this young man had been murdered, but because he had no ID on him, they didn’t know who he was. But when they did finally discover his identity, this case would take a totally bizarre turn. The detectives would find themselves 1,000 miles away from their crime scene, sifting through reported sightings of their victim that defied the laws of physics, and grasping at an insane theory that they hoped could somehow tie it all together.
