In this special early-release two-part PLUS Episode, we go back to further examine the strange case of the death of Natalie Bollinger (first covered in S&S Episodes 109 & 110). The bizarre events surrounding this case are just as curious and interesting as the social media madness that followed, with amateur WebSleuths taking to the internet in droves to try and solve a case with little to no information. At the center of it all was a disheveled homeless man by the name of Shawn Shwartz, who Natalie Bollinger had sought a protection order against and who posted dozens of angry rambling videos talking about his uncontrollable panic attacks. After a year of silence, Shawn has reemerged, multiple videos a day attacking the victim, the victim's friends and family, anyone who has ever assisted him, along with the host of this show.
