    88: Crishtian Hughes: San Francisco, California Jul 24, 2025
    Show notes In February 2013, 20 year old Crishtian Hughes flew to San Francisco to visit friends, he was excited for a weekend away. He told his mom he'd be home in a few days, but Crishtian never came back.
    The night before his flight home, he left his friend's house in the middle of the night - and vanished.
    Over a decade later, his family is still waiting. Still searching. Still asking the same chilling question: What happened in those early morning hours... and why has no one come forward?
    Was it a choice? A cry for help? A random act of violence? Or something far more sinister - part of a disturbing pattern of young men disappearing without a trace?
    Listen as we dive into San Francisco, the case of Crishtian Hughes, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    87: Leah Roberts: Whatcom County, Washington Jul 17, 2025
    Show notes In March 2000, 23-year-old Leah Roberts packed her Jeep Cherokee, grabbed her cat—and vanished. Not without a trace, but into the vast, mist-covered wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.
    Inspired by Jack Kerouac, Leah set off from North Carolina on a soul-searching road trip, leaving behind a trail of personal tragedy: the sudden death of both parents and a near-fatal car crash. She carried $3,000 in cash and no clear destination—just a sense that something was waiting for her out west.
    Days later, her Jeep was found wrecked at the bottom of a remote embankment near Bellingham, Washington. Inside: her clothes, blankets, an engagement ring tucked under the floor mat. Outside: no Leah. No blood. No footprints. No sign of struggle.
    But then came the troubling clues—tampered wires, male DNA, an unidentifiable fingerprint. Accident? Escape? Or something darker hidden in the shadows of the Cascades?
    Listen as we dive into Washington, the case of Leah Roberts, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    86: Monica Beresford-Redman: Cancun, Mexico Jul 10, 2025
    Show notes A dream vacation in Cancun. A luxury resort by the sea. A second chance at love.... that ended in murder.
    Monica Beresford-Redman was vibrant, successful, and the heart of L.A.'s salsa scene. When she vanished from the Moon Palace Resort, paradise quickly turned into a nightmare.
    Her body was discovered strangled and hidden near the hotel - and the spotlight turned to her reality TV producer husband.
    Was it a crime of passion, a desperate escape, or something far more sinister? This is the story of deadly secrets hidden in paradise.
    Listen as we dive into Cancun, the case of Monica Beresford-Redman, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    85: Paul Carter: The English Channel Jul 03, 2025
    Show notes In the early hours of April 21st, 2007, 22-year-old Paul Carter vanished somewhere between Portsmouth, England, and St. Malo, France.
    He boarded the overnight ferry with his workmates - but by morning, Paul was gone. No one saw him leave. No one heard a thing. The sea was calm. The alarms stayed silent.
    Did he go overboard unnoticed? Some believed he walked off into the fog of St. Malo. Others are convinced something far more sinister happened that night.
    To this day, Paul Carter's fate remains one of the English Channel's most haunting mysteries

    84: Judy Smith: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Jun 26, 2025
    Show notes We’re diving into one of the most perplexing travel mysteries in recent history — the disappearance and tragic death of Judy Smith.
    In April of 1997, Judy traveled to Philadelphia with her husband, a routine trip that took a bizarre turn when she vanished without a trace. Five months later, her remains were discovered hundreds of miles away in the rugged mountains of North Carolina.
    How did a loving wife and mother, last seen in a bustling East Coast city, end up dead in the Blue Ridge Mountains? And what clues were overlooked that might still point to what really happened?
    This isn’t just a story of a woman who went missing — it’s a story about trust, timing, unanswered questions, and the strange trail Judy left behind. Today, we retrace her steps, sift through the facts, and explore the haunting silence left in her wake.
    Listen as we dive into Pennsylvania & North Carolina, the case of Judy Smith, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    83: Michael Rockefeller: Papua New Guinea Jun 19, 2025
    Show notes He was young, ambitious, and heir to one of the most powerful families in American history. But Michael Rockefeller wasn’t chasing money, politics, or prestige.
    He was chasing meaning… Art. Culture. A sense of connection that no trust fund could buy.
    In 1961, the 23 year old Harvard graduate vanished off the coast of what is now Indonesia - just moments after saying he thought he could make it to shore. He was never seen again.
    Officially? They say he drowned.
    But in the decades since, a darker theory has emerged - one that leads you deep into the swamps of New Guinea, into a culture misunderstood, and into the unsettling possibility…. That Micahel didn't die in the water. He made it to land.
    And what happened next has haunted the Rockefeller legacy - and captivated the world - for over 60 years.
    Listen as we dive into New Guinea, the case of Michael Rockefeller, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    82: Karen Denise Wells: Carlisle, Pennsylvania Jun 12, 2025
    Show notes A road trip gone wrong. A young mother driving alone. A motel room untouched — and a rental car abandoned, hazard lights still blinking on a desolate Pennsylvania highway.
    In April 1994, 23-year-old Karen Denise Wells left Oklahoma for New Jersey. She never arrived. Somewhere between a late-night fast food stop and her motel, Karen disappeared — leaving behind a trail of unsettling clues, mysterious mileage on her car, and a string of unanswered questions.
    No struggle. No goodbye. Just a mystery that feels less like someone vanished… and more like someone was erased.
    This is the baffling case of Karen Denise Wells.
    Listen as we dive into Pennsylvania, the case of Karen Denise Wells, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    81: Tom & Eileen Lonergan: Great Barrier Reef, Australia Jun 05, 2025
    Show notes Tom and Eileen Lonergan set off for what should have been an unforgettable day diving the Great Barrier Reef - clear skies, calm waters, and a boat full of tourists just like them. But when the dive boat returned to the shore, no one noticed they were missing.
    Not at first.
    Not for two whole days, until it was discovered their belongings were still on the boat - wallets, passports, towels… untouched. And Tom and Eileen?
    Gone.
    Were they forgotten in a tragic oversight… or did something else happen in those deep, endless waters? Their disappearance triggered a massive search, sparked global headlines, and left behind a string of disturbing clues - a diver’s slate scrawled with a desperate message, a torn wetsuit washed up weeks later, and eerie diary entries that hinted at something darker beneath the surface.
    No bodies were ever found. No final answers ever confirmed. Just the chilling question: how did two people vanish into the ocean without a trace… and why didn’t anyone notice until it was far too late?

    80: Hostel Fires May 29, 2025
    Show notes When we talk about travel nightmares, we often picture what lurks outside - dark alleys, strangers with bad intentions, stories that begin with a missed train or a wrong run. But sometimes… the danger is already inside.
    Today, we’re opening the door on something even more haunting: fire.
    Sudden. Consuming, Unforgiving.
    Because for some travelers, the scariest part of their journey wasn’t a distant unknown - it was their bed. Their room. The place they thought they were safest.
    In this episode, we’re telling the stories of four devastating hostel fires: The Childers Palace Backpackers Hostel in Australia, where young backpackers from around the world came chasing sunshine and freedom - and never made it home.
    The Downunder Hostel fire in Sydney, Australia - where a broken alarm system and locked exits turned a simple stay into a fatal trap.
    A fire in Riga, Latvia - swift and deadly - inside an illegal hostel that should never have been open at all.
    And the Loafers Lodge fire in Wellington, New Zealand, where residents living in budget rooms were left scrambling for their lives in the early hours of the morning.
    Each of these stories is different. But they all ask the same, terrifying question: What happens when your escape route disappears?This isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness. Because travel should feel like possibility, not risk.
    Hostels should be spaces of laughter and late-night stories - not loss.So stay with me, as we retrace the final hours inside these hostels. We’ll ask what went wrong… and what we can learn from the people who never got the chance to check out.

    79: Hostel Murders May 22, 2025
    Show notes When we pack our bags and check into a hostel, we’re chasing adventure. A new city, a bunk bed, the promise of strangers who might become friends - or at least someone to split a cab with.
    And honestly? I love staying in hostels.
    I’ve stayed in them all over - tiny ones in coastal towns to big ones in the heart of cities. They’re chaotic, friendly, weird, and wonderful. And for the most part, they feel safe.But behind the cheerful welcome signs and communal kitchens, something darker can hide.
    A stolen passport. A missing girl. A body in a room.
    From Australia to France to India, some travelers checked in… but never checked out. Today, I’m taking you around the world - one hostel at a time - to revisit the chilling true stories of backpackers who vanished, were attacked, or lost their lives in places meant to be safe havens for the wandering soul.
