NASA Hacked by a Teenager, Aldi CEO Wrapped in Carpet, and Other Light Stories

A little decapitation, a little hacking, a lot of Aldi. This week, Jen brings the gripping and completely deranged true story of the 1971 Aldi Kidnapping featuring one billionaire in a carpet burrito, seven imaginary accomplices, and the German tax office saying “absolutely not.” Then takes us through the tragic and shocking tale of Jonathan James, the teenage hacker who broke into NASA and the Pentagon before being hounded by the FBI. We wraps things up with a chilly delight: the real-life Frozen Grandad of Colorado who’s been lying on a bed of dry ice for 30 years and the town that built a festival around his freezer coffin. show link -- Listen ad-free and support your favourite filth merchants on patreon.com/thecreepdive Hosted on Acast.
