About

Murder Coordinates refers to a series of memes including image macros that share the alleged locations of bodies of victims of violent crimes. The trend was started with users referencing Severed Head In Applebee's Toilet and Headless Body At 44.542094, -94.305717. The severed head in the toilet has no known connection to any real events or news story. The headless body is possibly inspired by a viral video of two TikTokers finding a body in a suitcase because of the app Randonautica, but this is unconfirmed. The coordinates lead to a house in Minnesota.

Origin

There Is A Severed Head In A Toilet In The Restroom At Applebee's At 9364 WI-16, Onalaska, WI

On November 17th, 2020, iFunny[1] user FreeGuy posted a demotivational poster of a fish character from SpongeBob SquarePants looking into the toilet and photoshopped to say, "oh that's a severed head. There is a severed head in a toilet in the restroom at Applebee's at 9364 WI-16, Onalaska, WI." The image gained 152 smiles in 10 months. On November 24th, 2020, Tumblr[2] user petits-pois-carotide shared the image, gaining over 31,000 notes in 10 months (shown below).



It is unknown where this reference comes from, and is not connected with any known news stories or events.

Hey Squidward Did You Know You'll Find A Headless Body At 44.542094, -94.305717

On January 15th, 2021, iFunny[3] user azerbaijanlawngnome posted a similar demotivational poster of SpongeBob bothering Squidward to tell him that he'll find a headless body at the coordinates 44.542094, -94.305717. The Google Map[8] coordinates lead to a lone house in Winthrop, Minnesota. There has never been a decapitation recorded at this location. The meme was reposted across social media numerous times over the following months.

POV YOU ARE A SEVERED HEAD IN A TOILET IN A BATHROOM AT APPLEBEE'S AT 9364 WI-16, ONALASKA, WI

As a result of the meme, the Google Maps[5] reviews for the Applebee's at 9364 WI-16, Onalaska, WI have been spammed with jokes about finding a head in the toilet. As of September 20th, 2021, there are over 1,100 reviews for the restaurant. It holds a 3.8/5 star rating (examples shown below).


Genderless Frog 11 reviews - 5 photos a week ago NEW Food was fantastic. Not as good Chick-Fil-A or cracker barrel. They had fantastic waffles and the sauce was heavenly. However, when I needed to go to the restroom I was treated with a severed head. What a lovely surprise! No doubt, I mf munched on that head like there was no tomorrow, scrumptious! Dominic Gallicchio 3 reviews a week ago NEW Had a bit of a wait but because we arrived at about 5PM that made sense. Server was very kind and our waitress Amanda helped us pick an appetizer. Food was great but my steak was closer to medium than the medium-rare I had asked for. There was a severed head in the toilet in the men's restroom. All in all I would come back but that last part of the experience was a little jarring. A Saucerful Of Secrets 5 reviews 2 months ago During a road-trip, I decided to stop here for some food. The staff working that nice was so kind. The food was delicious and I couldn't have asked for better! The tables were clean and the place was beautiful. I was kind of disarranged when I discovered a severed head in the stall of the men's bathroom. The weirdest part was I witnessed a middle-aged white male use the same stall before using it. He must of not noticed it, but I did notice he did not wash his hands before leaving. Besides that, it was an amazing night I will never forget. Would come here again.

On September 14th, 2021, Redditor u/LazarusisGay posted to /r/AskReddit,[7] "What is the deal with 'Hey Squidward, did you know you'll find a decapitated body at 44.542094, -94.305717'?" linking directly to the meme, gaining over 1,600 upvotes in six days. On that day, u/AWitchBetwixt speculated the origins of the meme in a comment:

I think its a reference to an app that was popular not that long ago. I don't remember the name of it, but allegedly it measured quantum energy and used that information to give people random coordinates to go to and explore. This allegedly resulted in weird instances such as people finding bodies.

Redditor u/andy2233 replied to her comment on the same day, writing:

"The app was called Randonautica. It was some sort of game. There was a viral video of some teenagers playing with the app. They found a suitcase with a dead body inside on a beach."

The story of the video of the girls finding the suitcase with the body is real. It has since been deleted, but was described by TikToker[6] @makingatruecrimerer on a TikTok uploaded on June 6th, 2021 (shown below). However, it is unconfirmed if this has anything to do with the demotivational poster.
