About this episode
This story is a fan favorite that was previously published as Episode 30. In May of 2009, someone in Guatemala uploaded an 18 minute long video to YouTube titled, “YouTube Murder." Within hours of it being published, the video had gone massively viral to the point where YouTube’s servers began to crash, and in Guatemala, angry crowds of people began forming up in the streets demanding justice. When the president of Guatemala reluctantly authorized an investigation into what the video actually meant , no one was ready for the insane truth it would reveal. Today's story includes graphic violence, so listener discretion is advised.
