When retired schoolteacher Celia Blay stumbled across an online forum where suicidal individuals shared their innermost thoughts, she had no idea that she was about to encounter a serial predator. Li Dao was a young nurse who trawled the forum looking for people to push over the edge. She encouraged other posters to take their own lives and gave explicit instructions. As members of the forum started to disappear, Celia Blay became determined to uncover Li Dao’s true identity and put a stop to her crimes. But nothing about Li Dao was as it seemed…

This is giving me “The Good Samaritan” by John Marrs vibes. I’m interested to learn more.

I think many who have an interest in true crimes would like to be Celia Blay. Unfortunately these shows probably also attract a few budding Melchert-Dinkels.

Nadia and I were in the same year at the same school, in residences two buildings apart, and I knew her roommate from frosh week. I want to listen to this episode but I don't know... I know it's totally subjective and depends on who's listening, but is anyone able to let me know if it's a really tough listen?

This case ihit really close to home personally. I feel the pain from those left behind to deal with the aftermath. As to Mark, I don’t understand how he virtually got off with such a light sentence. What he did, encouraging, aiding and pursuing this for his own twisted joy is reprehensible. I really hope there’s karma when he leaves this world and he held fully accountable for his actions. How he was even a nurse baffled me, if his actions during his employment is unbelievable, but to only penalise him and not strike him ever being a nurse ever really raises questions with the medical board. There should definitely be more people like Cecelia in this world.

He is vile, but his nurse wife standing by him and accepting his "sexual fetish" is also disturbing. It's irrelevant if it's sexually motivated - he is a murderer and a sociopath.

Celia Blay deserves a medal or something for tracking this man down despite repeatedly being brushed off by authorities. Such an incredible person to care about strangers on the internet to devote so much time to protecting them. ❤️

Great episode/reminder to go into the holiday break.

It’s alarming this man was a nurse. I wouldn’t be surprised if he also had patients die on him from “natural causes”

Suicide Sauce

As someone who lives with suicidal ideation, here's a tip about depression and feelings of hopelessness: it's always worse at night. If it's dark outside and you feel like you might harm yourself, get on voice chat or FaceTime with a friend who'll sit with you until sunrise. When you're feeling better, make a crisis plan with friends and family. Who will you contact when you need help? What will they help you do to stay safe? Once you're out of danger, which doctors or other medical professionals will you contact? It's normal to be sad and it's also normal to have the desire to escape a very bad situation. You are not bad or a burden or a downer. We love you and we want you to stay.

I dont understand how this isn't viewed like a sort of serial killer. This is serial killer vibes. Especially watching them die. Very very scary human
