We’ve hit 20 episodes! This week, Carrie is taking us through a mid-2000s internet mystery – that of LakeCityQuietPills.com.
When the moderator of a sketchy sub-Reddit passes away in July 2009, a mystery is ignited. This moderator owned an image hosting site, “That Old Guy’s Image Host”, that supposedly served as a source for tawdry and pretty illegal photos of underage girls…but when internet sleuths start poking around in the image host’s source code, a whole hidden world is discovered that just may involve espionage, secret military operations, possible assassinations–all the stuff you see in James Bond movies, but never hear about in “real life”.
Was “That Old Guy’s Image Host” really a covert meeting place for spies and mercenaries? Did Redditors really discover a hidden plot to assassinate a Middle Eastern weapons dealer? And what exactly does the phrase “Lake City Quiet Pills” mean?
Follow us down the rabbit hole for the story of one of the original Reddit conspiracies!
