Woman Unknowingly Drives for 72-Hours with a Naked Man Hiding in Her Trunk, Says He's the "Pope's Son"

On today's episode of what the actual f***k: A woman drives her car for three days without knowing a naked man has been in her trunk the entire time. 

A mechanic named Bethany Coker in Vancouver, BC left her car unlocked one night when she noticed her doors were iced over from the cold anyways. The next day she got into her car and noticed there was mud all over her passenger seat. She had gone wheeling the night before, but didn't recall tracking in THAT much mud into her car–but it was possible. Annoyed with the mess, she asked a coworker at the garage if they could bring in a humidifier to help loosen the mud so she could clean it. That night, she left the car humid and warm in order to clean it the next day—and that probably saved the life of the mysterious naked man that had stashed away in her trunk. 

Woman finds muddy passenger seat, but still has no idea about the man in her trunk:

She lived her life like normal for the next 72 hours driving to work, going to the grocery store, going out, etc. It was only after three days that she went to put her tools in the backseat of her car (never actually going to use the trunk) that she heard a little “hey.” At first, she thought it must've been a friend of her's playing a prank on her. She started recording and between giggles asked why he was in her trunk and if he was naked. He said he was indeed naked and that he was “the pope's son” and he was in the trunk because it was a “right of passage.” 

After hearing his responses, it hit her like a slap to the face: She had no idea who this man was and she could possibly be in a lot of danger.

Naked man in trunk finally makes himself known:

Explained: Part 1 “I go to work… go home… this guy doesn't say a single word”

Explained: Part 2 “So, I call the cops and I was absolutely hysterical”

When the possibility of this being someone she knew left her mind, all her calmness went out the window. She ran straight back to her work garage with panic in her voice saying there's a strange naked man stowed away in her trunk. You can tell in the videos that her voice is shaking along with her hands. The video only stops so she could call the police. 

Once the police arrived, you see a pair of bare legs dangling out of her open trunk with the officers surrounding it. He asked if he could put his pants on and the police said “yes please.” 

Explained: Part 3 “It actually turns out this guy is a missing person"

In seeing the man and finding out his name, the police instantly knew this was a man on their missing persons list. He apparently was the brother of one of Coker's neighbor and he had gone missing after a night of partying for his birthday. That must've been one wild birthday party…

Coker's story went insanely viral, not only on the clock app, but also on local news. She was interviewed (strangely in a reporter's living room) and the story felt like a narrative right out of the Canadian comedy show Trailer Park Boys. Though the man turned out to be harmless, this story could have taken a completely different and dangerous turn. She was lucky that it just turned out to be a neighbor's brother who partied too hard. Why he didn't speak up for three days and said he was the “son of the Pope” are questions that are still unanswered. But nonetheless, Coker assures viewers she will always be locking her car from now on.
