The Last Trip

51: Sebastian Woodroffe: Victoria Gracia, Peru Oct 31, 2024

Sebastian Woodroffe, a 41-year-old from British Columbia, journeyed to the Peruvian Amazon in search of spiritual healing through ayahuasca. However, his quest took a dark turn. On April 19, 2018, Woodroffe fatally shot 81-year-old shaman Olivia Arevalo Lomas, though his motive remains unclear. In response, locals took justice into their own hands, lynching him in a vigilante act captured on video and later shared on Facebook.
What led to these tragic events? How did two lives come to such violent ends deep in the Amazon?
Listen as we dive into Peru, Ayahuasca, the case of Sebastian Woodroffe, and how to stay alive on vacation.

50: Jerry Krause: Bamako, Mali Oct 24, 2024

Jerry Krause, an American missionary pilot, vanished in April 2013 while flying over West Africa. He was a highly experienced pilot, known for his decades of humanitarian work, including delivering supplies and providing transport for missionaries and aid workers throughout Africa.
Initially, it was believed that his plane had crashed, but no wreckage was ever found. The mystery took a strange twist when a secret operative contacted his family, claiming that Jerry was still alive and being held hostage.
With puzzling clues that may or may not be credible, the question remains: What really happened to Jerry Krause?

49: Donovan Cameron: Las Vegas, NV Oct 17, 2024

Donovan Cameron, a professional boxer from England, traveled to Las Vegas to train at Floyd Mayweather's gym but never returned home.
He was last seen alive on the night of January 10, 2019, by his wife of nine months. While she claimed he was battling depression and took his own life, his family strongly suspects foul play.
Investigations by authorities in the US and England reached different conclusions about Donovan’s death, leaving many questions unanswered.
What is certain, however, is that Donovan Cameron went to Las Vegas—and something went terribly wrong.

47: Jeffrey Hodgson: Ibiza, Spain Oct 03, 2024

Jeffrey Hodgson, a 38-year-old man from Stockport, England, disappeared on July 8th, 2001, while vacationing with his parents in Ibiza. Jeffrey, who had intellectual and developmental disabilities, waited outside while his parents checked into their hotel. When they returned, he was gone.

Nancy Ng, a bright, outgoing, and beautiful 29-year-old from California, had a deep love for yoga. In October 2023, she traveled to Guatemala for a yoga retreat—but tragically, she never returned.
Her heartbroken family is desperate for answers, but the witnesses have not given an official statement, won't speak to Nancy's family, and the details didn’t make sense.
For nearly a year, they’ve been fighting not only to bring Nancy home but also to uncover the truth about what happened on the day she vanished.

45: Taylor Casey: Paradise Island, Bahamas Sep 19, 2024

In early June 2024, Taylor Casey left her home in Chicago to attend a month-long yoga retreat on Paradise Island, Bahamas.
With over 15 years of yoga practice, she was eager to earn her teaching certification and bring back her newfound skills to share with her community.
However, on the evening of June 19th, after leaving a class, Taylor vanished.
This is not a cold case. Taylor has been missing for just three months, and her family is still actively searching for her. We need to keep her story alive—continue sharing her name in the media, post missing person flyers around the Bahamas, and consider donating to support the search efforts.

44: Darryl Fornatora: Cabarete, Dominican Republic Sep 12, 2024

Darryl Fornatora and his friend Matt Rigby traveled from Florida to the Dominican Republic for a week-long surfing trip. They arrived on January 25, 2016, but just two days later, Darryl disappeared without a trace.
The following day, Matt abruptly left the island, returning home with Darryl’s belongings. He didn’t notify the embassy, local authorities, or even Darryl's family. It wasn't until the day after Matt’s return to Florida that he finally called Darryl’s parents to deliver the heartbreaking news.
As the few clues in Darryl's case emerged, the mystery surrounding his disappearance only grew more puzzling.

43: Mieke Oort: Leeuwarden, Netherlands Sep 05, 2024

At 21, Mieke Oort left Massachusetts after graduating high school to pursue her college education in the Netherlands.
Like many college students, she was embracing this new chapter—immersed in learning, exploring, making friends, and dating.
However, her life took a tragic turn when she connected with a man on Tinder. After a few dates, Mieke decided not to continue seeing him, but he began stalking her and, on March 6, 2022, brutally murdered her.
The case, which became widely known as the "Tinder Murder" in the Netherlands, stands out because unlike many other cases, we know what happened to Mieke, and her killer was apprehended.
I believe this case is important to highlight because many young people travel abroad to study, often unaware of the potential dangers they might face.
Listen as we dive into the Netherlands, the case of Mieke Oort, and how to stay alive on vacation.

36: August Reiger: Banos, Ecuador Jul 18, 2024

August Reiger asked his parents for a trip to a Spanish-speaking country to celebrate his high school graduation, as he was fluent in Spanish and loved learning about new cultures.
So just weeks after graduation, his parents and younger brother left Oklahoma for a two-week vacation in Baños, Ecuador.
On Father’s Day, June 16, 2013, the family set off on a well-maintained hike near their hotel. After a short time, August walked ahead, planning to meet them at the top of an overlook.
When the rest of the family arrived at the overlook about 10 minutes later, August had mysteriously vanished and has never been seen again.
What happened to August Reiger?

33: Alex Gumm: Kauai, Hawaii Jun 27, 2024

Alex Gumm was living with his parents in Maine when he took a vow of silence, adopted a plant-based diet, and delved into research on various religions, conspiracy theories, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life on Earth.
After breaking his silence, he informed his parents that he was heading to Hawaii to seek enlightenment. The next day, he shaved his head, and his parents dropped him off at a bus station.
He was 25 years old when he arrived on Kauai on February 22, 2018—and vanished two days later.
With no clues, many theories have emerged, with his friends and family believing he’s still alive and living off the grid in the island’s vast wilderness.

32: Blake Mitchell: Cozumel, Mexico Jun 20, 2024

Blake Mitchell, a 30-year-old from Oklahoma, moved to Cozumel, Mexico, to attend classes and earn his diving instructor certification. For about a year, he had been traveling back and forth to Cozumel with his dog Sophie. However, on March 13, 2019, he disappeared.
On the day of his disappearance, Blake texted his brother saying he had a toothache and wouldn’t be diving. When the messages suddenly stopped, his family grew concerned. They contacted the diving center, which informed them that Blake was missing and had left behind his cellphone, backpack, motorcycle, and dog Sophie.
Initially, it seemed like Blake might have had a diving accident, but as more evidence emerged, his family began to suspect foul play.
Where is Blake Mitchell?

31: Forrest Schab: Mexico Jun 13, 2024

Forrest Schab is a 26-year-old rapper from Canada known by the stage name DY, short for Die Young. He left Canada for Mexico sometime in August 2010 and subsequently vanished without a trace.
Several factors make this case particularly perplexing. Firstly, no one knows the exact date he left Canada, his intended destination in Mexico, or even the reasons behind his trip.

In 1989, Sandra Valentine was a successful 30 year old woman living in New York, when she decided to travel the world for a year.
But 8 months into her trip, on March 28th, she mysteriously vanished in Sri Lanka. These were the days before cell phone tracking and cameras on every corner, so there were no clues left behind, until months later when her diary was found giving her family insight into her last days.
But still, 35 years later, Sandra Valentine is still missing.

27: Mariska Mast: Roatan, Honduras May 16, 2024

Mariska Mast was 23 years old when she left the Netherlands on a backpacking adventure through Central America. Her journey led her to the picturesque island of Roatan, Honduras, where she decided to pursue a PADI Scuba Diving course.
It was there that she crossed paths with a scuba instructor, with whom she spent the night before her scheduled departure for Costa Rica.
Tragically, the following morning, she was dead. The circumstances surrounding her death remain shrouded in mystery, compounded by botched autopsies.
Without sufficient evidence, the question of whether Mariskka met her end through foul play or a tragic accident remains unanswered.
Adding to intrigue, the scuba instructor she spent the night with hastily left the island, while his female roommate faced accusations of Mariska's murder, only to be later acquitted.

Carla Valpeoz was 35 years old when she left Michigan with a friend
to attend a wedding, celebrate her birthday, and explore Peru.
Following the wedding, and wanting to do some solo exploring, Carla ventured alone
to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
But tragically, the last known sighting of Carla was captured by surveillance cameras in the village of Pisac on the morning of December 12th, 2018, a she made her way toward the Sacred Valley.

24: Elliot Blair: Rosarito, Mexico Apr 25, 2024

Elliot Blair, 33, and his wife Kim from Orange County, California, traveled to Rosarito, Mexico, to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary.
On the evening of January 13, 2023, after enjoying dinner, drinks, and dancing, the couple returned to their resort. While Kim went to sleep, Elliot took a shower before bed.
Shortly afterward, hotel staff woke Kim to inform her that Elliot had died.
Mexican authorities concluded that Elliot had been intoxicated and accidentally fell over the railing of the open-air walkway. However, with a blood alcohol level of 0.1, a fall of only 20-25 feet, and 40 fractures to the back of his skull, his family thinks he was murdered.

22: Michal Dixon: Tamarindo, Costa Rica Apr 11, 2024

In October 2009, Michael Dixon embarked on a week-long visit to New York City to catch up with friends before continuing his journey to Costa Rica. However, shortly after arriving in Costa Rica, the 33-year-old British journalist disappeared under mysterious circumstances, vanishing one night after leaving his hotel.

21: Nara Pech: Wattay International Airport, Laos Apr 04, 2024

In January 2015, Nara Pech marked his recent college graduation by embarking on a three-week journey through Southeast Asia with two close friends. However, only a week into the trip, upon reaching Laos, the 28-year-old wanted to cut his vacation short. His friends, assuming he boarded a plane back to Canada, left him at the airport.
Tragically, this decision marked the final time anyone laid eyes on Nara alive. His demise unfolded in a harrowing manner within the bustling confines of the airport restaurant, yet no witnesses surfaced, nor did any bystanders capture the incident on video. Additionally, Laotian authorities will not release the full surveillance footage.
Airport officials hastily concluded that Nara took his own life, yet the available evidence contradicts this assertion. The circumstances surrounding Nara Pech's demise in the Laos airport remain shrouded in mystery, prompting speculation and questions about what truly transpired.
Listen as we dive into Southeast Asia, the case of Nara Pech, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Ildar Rakhmatulin, 38, was nearing the end of his global journey as he reached Fiji from New Zealand on April 7th, 2023.
Scheduled to fly to Malaysia on April 10th, his plans took an unexpected turn.

19: Jason Cortez: Los Angeles, CA Mar 21, 2024

Jason Cortez, 29, left his new bride behind in Virginia to journey to Los Angeles, where he lent his photography skills to a friend's creative project.
On September 10th, 2021, during a hike with his friend at Ernest E Debs Regional Park, tragedy struck. A sudden shot pierced the air, and Jason collapsed. Despite desperate attempts at CPR by his companion, Jason succumbed to the senseless violence.
This heinous act demands justice for its cold and random nature. Though the investigation is challenged by sparse clues and a lack of apparent motive, a sketch of the assailant offers a glimmer of hope for resolution.

18: Alysha Hanin: Miami, Florida Mar 14, 2024

Alysha Hanin traveled from New Zealand to Miami, Florida on December 10th, 2001, intending to address some matters before returning home to begin a new life with her 3-year-old son.
However, her anticipated return never occurred. The last sighting of Alysha was as she left a luxurious hotel in South Miami Beach in the early hours of January 6th, 2002.
The circumstances surrounding her disappearance raise numerous questions: Was her occupation as an escort a factor? Did she become a victim of random violence? Did she choose to vanish voluntarily from her life? Alternatively, could her recent breakup with her allegedly abusive boyfriend, have played a role?
Alysha's son, now a year older than his mother was at the time of her disappearance, seeks closure and resolution to the mystery surrounding his mother's fate.
On this week's episode we're joined by Sofia Wardell, from The Travel Brats Podcast, to give us the lowdown on everything Miami!

16: Jon Jonsson: Dublin, Ireland Feb 29, 2024

In February 2016, Jon Jonsson embarked on a trip from Iceland to Dublin, Ireland, for a poker tournament. He played through the night, with his fiancee joining him the next morning for a 10-day holiday. However, when she arrived, he seemingly stepped out of the hotel for a cigarette, and mysteriously vanished without a trace.
Despite extensive efforts, including a recent search spurred by two anonymous letters received on the 5th anniversary of his disappearance, authorities have been unable to uncover any substantial leads. The search, employing divers, ground-penetrating technology, and search dogs, focused on a Dublin park but yielded no results after three days.
As the investigation stalls again, authorities urge the authors of the anonymous letters to come forward, believing their information could be crucial in solving the case.

14: Levi Davis: Barcelona, Spain Feb 15, 2024

Levi Davis, a famous Rugby player and former contestant on Celebrity X Factor, abruptly vanished from Barcelona in October 2022. While backpacking across Europe, Levi spontaneously took a ferry from Ibiza to Barcelona. His last known location was The Old Irish Pub, where he was seen mere hours after his arrival in the city.
In a chilling turn of events, just before his disappearance, Levi uploaded a 15-minute video on Instagram unveiling distressing allegations of abuse and blackmail. He claimed his life was at risk due to governmental corruption and ties to organized crime.
The few clues available point us in various directions. Was Levi the target of a murder plot? Did he choose to disappear into hiding? Was he grappling with a mental health crisis? Or was there a tragic drowning? These questions linger, adding to the mystery surrounding his disappearance.
Listen as we dive into Barcelona, the case of Levi Davis, and how to stay alive on vacation.

11: Samuel Boehlke: Crater Lake, Oregon Jan 25, 2024

At the tender age of 8, Samuel Boehlke embarked on a road trip with his father from Portland, Oregon, to Crater Lake, Oregon, in October 2006. Following a day filled with hiking and sightseeing, the father-son duo engaged in a playful game of hide and seek.

10: Britt Lapthorne: Dubrovnik, Croatia Jan 18, 2024

Britt Lapthorne, a young backpacker from Australia, enjoyed her solo journey through Europe... until she reached Dubrovnik, Croatia.
While at a nightclub with friends, she was separated from the group and never made it back to the hostel. Almost three weeks later, her lifeless body was discovered in the Adriatic Sea.
While Croatia officially labeled it as a death resulting from "misadventure", compelling evidence suggests the possibility of murder.
Amidst swirling rumors, there are allegations of a police coverup, a mysterious call from her phone during the period she was missing, reports of other travelers encountering attempted abductions in the same vicinity, and a list of potential suspects.
The circumstances surrounding Britt Lapthorne's demise raise questions about the true nature of events leading to her tragic end. What transpired on that fateful night in Dubrovnik remains shrouded in uncertainty.

9: Max Castor: Port Campbell, VIC, Australia Jan 11, 2024

Max Castor planned the journey of a lifetime. At the age of 19, he left Sweden with two friends, arriving in Australia on October 19, 2004 for an epic year-long backpacking expedition across the country.
Six months later, Max's friends returned home. In a perplexing move, Max sent all his personal belongings, along with his money and plane ticket, back to his family. Accompanying this package was a note indicating his intent to vanish.
And vanish he did. The mystery surrounding Max's disappearance raises a multitude of questions. Was there an unforseen accident, or did foul play enter the equation? Did he make the heartbreaking decision to end his own life, or did he opt for a fresh start, walking away from his previous life?
Despite the uncertainty, Max's father clung to the belief that his son was alive. He tirelessly searched for Max until his own passing in 2020. The lingering question persists: Where is Max Castor?

2: Sister Eileen Christie: Hallstatt, Austria Nov 23, 2023

Sister Eileen Christie was a 72 year old nun from New York, vacationing alone in Austria. She was reported missing in July of 2016, when her nephew hadn’t heard from her soon after she checked into a boarding home in the tourist village of Hallstatt.
An extensive police search was done and two private investigation companies were hired, but Eileen was never found. Did she start a new life? Was there an accident? Or was it something more sinister?
Listen as we talk about the gorgeous landscapes In Austria, the case of Sister Eileen Christie, and how to stay alive on vacation.
