TLC is revisiting one of the stranger viral mysteries of the past decade in a new two-hour special, “The Mad Pooper.” The program premieres Thursday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The special looks back at the case of a female jogger dubbed “The Mad Pooper,” who repeatedly defecated on residential lawns across Colorado Springs, Colorado. The incidents drew national attention nearly a decade ago and left an entire community searching for answers.
Through archival news coverage, firsthand accounts from residents and interviews with former law enforcement officials, the special reexamines how the case unfolded. What started as a series of neighborhood incidents grew into a nationwide mystery that produced headlines, memes and theories.
As new clues come to light and new voices revisit the case, the investigation takes unexpected turns. The special asks whether the behavior was a prank, a personal vendetta or something else entirely, and it weighs eyewitness accounts alongside some of the more outlandish theories.
“The Mad Pooper” airs on TLC at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Thursday, Nov. 19. A trailer and photos for the special are available through the network.
