The chilling turning point came when a local boater witnessed a man falling from a hot air balloon—only to discover that Philip Cup was the only balloon operator in the region. When questioned, Cup denied any involvement, but suspicion grew. In a bold move, police sent undercover officer Joffrey on a solo ride to catch Cup in the act. What happened next was both horrifying and heroic: mid-flight, Cup uttered the cryptic phrase, “What goes up must come down,” before a violent struggle sent the balloon crashing into the ocean, killing them both.

Posthumous investigations revealed the unthinkable—Philip Cup was linked to over 400 disappearances in the Miami area, making him one of history’s most prolific—and overlooked—serial killers.
