0:00.0	A muckbang mystery. I'm Rebecca Leib. I'm Jason Horton. And this is Ghost Town.
0:20.1	On November 10th 2019, the final video of Kate Yupp was posted. Since then,
0:26.8	both the identity and what happened to this individual is a mystery. This is what I like to call
0:32.4	the Kate Yupp mystery. You're probably thinking, who, what, what's going on? I'm saying yep, nope.
0:41.6	The internet's been around long enough. I think YouTube's been around long enough where enough
0:47.1	has happened culturally, where I think at least for us, it warrants talking about if it's interesting.
0:56.0	Although I like to go right back to the 80s or the 70s, I don't really dabble too much in the
