The Last Trip

On April 15, 2005, District Attorney Ray Gricar took the day off, got in his car, and set out on a quiet road trip—just a short drive to clear his head. But he never came home. His car was later found abandoned, his wallet and phone missing, and his laptop destroyed and dumped in a river. And then... nothing. In this episode, we explore the mysterious disappearance of Ray Gricar—a seasoned prosecutor who had spent decades putting criminals behind bars. Did he walk away from his life? Was he targeted? Or did he uncover something so dangerous it made him disappear? Listen as we dive into Pennsylvania, the case of Ray Gricar, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In September 2019, a yellow Jeep Wrangler was found abandoned at a remote trailhead on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Everything inside looked normal—except the woman who rented it, Lucy Schuhmann, was missing. The 48-year-old traveler from Louisville, Kentucky, had come to the island alone, seeking peace and nature. She checked into a rental near Coral Bay, unpacked, and then vanished. Her belongings were left behind. Her ID was found in her daypack at the end of a trail. Despite extensive searches, Lucy has never been seen again. Was it a tragic accident, a planned disappearance—or is something darker hiding beneath the island's serene surface? Listen as we dive into St John, the case of Lucy Schuhmann, and how to stay alive on vacation.

A 62-year-old man boards a plane—but his travel path makes no sense. Charlotte. Austin. Dallas. And finally… Cancun. When Robert Cantrell lands in Mexico, he clears customs—but never makes it to baggage claim. Days later, he reappears—shoeless, confused, and unable to remember his own name. A journalist finds him. Then he disappears again. Was he lost, drugged, or targeted? A voicemail, a detention center, and a suitcase returned without him—all raise more questions than answers. This week, we unravel the chilling mystery of Robert Cantrell, a man who vanished not once, but twice. Listen as we dive into Cancun, the case of Robert Cantrell, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Annie and Robin Korkki set out on the trip of a lifetime - a luxurious island getaway in paradise. But on the morning of September 22, 2016, their dream vacation came to a chilling end.  After a day of drinking and laughter at an exclusive resort in Seychelles, the sisters were escorted back to their villa by their personal butler. But they never stepped outside again. When hotel staff finally entered the room, they found an eerie scene - both women, fully clothed, lying side by side in bed. No signs of struggle. No disturbance.  Just an untouched room and two lifeless bodies. The autopsy tells us how they died. But the question that still lingers is - why? What really happened to Annie and Robin Korkki? And what secrets does their final night hold? Listen as we dive into Seychelles, the case of Annie & Robin Korkki, and how to stay alive on vacation.

One moment, 66 year old Raymond Ashcroft was walking through the legendary ruins of Tikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site deep in the Guatemalan rainforest.  The next? He was gone.  No struggle. No witnesses. Just… silence. Authorities launched a desperate search within a half hour of his disappearance.  But Raymond? He had disappeared into the shadows of history, just like the ancient Maya who once ruled these lands. Was it an accident? Did he wander off and couldn't find his way back? Was it foul play? Or something far stranger? Listen as we dive into Guatemala, the case of Raymond Ashcroft, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In early 1959, nine hikers set out on a skiing expedition across the northern Ural Mountains—Igor Dyatlov, Yuri Doroshenko, Lyudmila Dubinina, Georgiy Krivonishenko, Alexander Kolevatov, Zinaida Kolmogorova, Rustem Slobodin, Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles, and Semyon Zolotaryov. Their journey would end in one of the most chilling and perplexing mysteries in modern history. On the night of February 1st, something terrifying forced them to flee their tent into the freezing wilderness—half-dressed and unprepared. Their bodies were discovered weeks later, scattered across the snow, with injuries that defied explanation. Decades later, diaries, photographs, and investigations have offered theories, ranging from natural disasters to the supernatural. But one question remains: What really happened to the Dyatlov 9?

In Episode 56, we walked through the timeline of Skye Budnick's disappearance, sharing the details made public by investigators and her family. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, or need a refresher, we recommend going back before diving into this one. In this episode, I'm joined by Skye's sister, Megan Lebron, for a deeper look into who Skye was, the challenges her family has faced in the years since she vanished, and any new developments in the case. On April 1, 2008, Skye boarded a one-way flight to Japan without telling anyone. She was last seen at an inn in Northern Japan before her trail suddenly went cold. No one knows why she left, what happened after she arrived, or where she is now. For nearly 17 years, Skye's family has navigated a foreign country, language, and culture in their search for answers—but they are still searching.

In November 2024, what started as a fun night out in the party town of Vang Vieng turned into a horrifying nightmare.  Six tourists from around the world never woke up. Others barely escaped with their lives.  At first it seemed like a tragic accident, a case of tainted alcohol, poisoning unsuspecting travelers in the party town of Vang Vieng, Laos. But as the details emerged, the story took a darker turn.  Why were only tourists affected? Why did local authorities move so quickly to shut down the investigation? And could this have been something far more sinister than a simple mistake? Was this mass poisoning the result of greed, negligence… or something more deliberate? We're diving into the chilling case of the Laos Methanol Poisonings - where a fun night out turned fatal, and the truth might still be buried.

Antoine Herran was 28 years old when he left France for what was meant to be a 3 week vacation in Australia in April of 1998.  On the day he was supposed to return home,he reportedly jumped off The Gap, a series of towering cliffs near Sydney. Authorities later recovered a body they believed to be his. However, when Antoine's family arrived in Australia, they were stunned to find out the body did not belong to him. This sparked a lot of speculation that Antoine orchestrated an elaborate plan  to fake his own death. Despite no confirmed sightings or evidence of his whereabouts, his family continues to hold out hope that advances in DNA testing  might one day uncover the truth they've been searching for.

In that episode, I guided you through the timeline of events and shared the publicly available details from investigators.

Debs Regional Park for a photo session, Jason and his friend were leaving the park when a single gunshot rang out. Jason collapsed to the ground. Despite his friend's efforts to perform CPR, Jason's life was tragically cut short. This senseless act of random violence remains unresolved, and the shooter has yet to be identified.

Travis Sackett was an experienced traveler with a passion for service.  He dedicated years to volunteering with AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, working in Peru and Guatemala, and most recently, lending a hand in Ecuador. In February 2021, just two months into his stay in Ecuador, Travis set out on what should have been a routine hike. The trail wasn't particularly challenging, and witnesses reported seeing him during the day. But he never returned. Was it a tragic accident along the path? Or could something more sinister have occurred? Despite extensive searches, no trace of Travis has ever been found. To this day, his disappearance remains a mystery.  What really happened to Travis Sackett? Listen as we dive into Ecuador, the case of Travis Sackett, and how to stay alive on vacation.

The case of Barbara Jean Monaco is a mystery that time cannot erase.  On August 20th, 1978, Barbara Jean hit the road with her sister and 2 friends.  Their destination? Virginia Beach - a sunny getaway to celebrate Barbara's milestone 18th birthday.  The trio checked into the Aloha motel, ready for a week of fun and freedom.  But that celebration took a dark turn.  When Barbara Jean left the motel to meet up with a bartender she'd planned a date with, she vanished without a trace.  She never made it to her date and hasn't been seen since. Over four decades have passed. Witnesses have come forward, suspects have been questioned, and theories have swirled.  Yet the question lingers: What happened to Barbara Jean Monaco?  Listen as we dive into Virginia Beach, the case of Barbara Jean Monaco, and how to stay alive on vacation.

This week's episode takes a wild turn into the unbelievable.  Our missing person didn't just vanish - he faked his own death, traveled halfway around the globe, and ultimately got caught. It all started when Ryan Borgwardt told his family he was going kayaking.  When he didn't return, his wife reported him missing. Authorities found his overturned kayak and life preserver, shifting the mission from a rescue to a recovery.   But after an exhaustive search, no trace of Ryan's body turned up in the lake. If he wasn't in the water… where was Ryan Borgwardt? Get ready, because today's episode feels like it's ripped straight from the script of a Hollywood thriller.

Why are so many people disappearing and turning up murdered on Tenerife, the popular vacation island? Could a serial killer be responsible? Since the start of 2024, at least 12 people have vanished from Tenerife and the nearby island of La Gomera. In total, 28 individuals have gone missing under mysterious circumstances on Tenerife since 2015 — many of them tourists.

Justin Booska was 27 years old when he traveled to Guatemala for a vacation with his college roommate's family in early 2018.  On January 6th, they stopped at Laguna de Ayarza.  It was here that Justin, who was an experienced athlete, decided to swim from one side of the lake to the other.  The lake was calm and it should have been an easy swim, but Justin somehow vanished without a trace. His friends and family searched the lake tirelessly but found no signs of him.  And things got very suspicious when during the search, local residents ambushed the group, forcing them to stop their efforts. Because of this, his family feels that Justin's disappearance involved something far more sinister than a simple accident.

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.

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. Listen as we dive into Las Vegas, the case of Donovan Cameron, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Matthew Mullaney was only 21 when he left Massachusetts to study abroad in Italy.  But just a few weeks after his arrival, on January 31st 2003,  Matthew left an Irish pub and disappeared without a trace.

Many theories have emerged about what might have happened to Matthew,  but as of today, he remains missing.  His case continues to be one of the most mysterious disappearances  involving Americans abroad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Despite the fact that neither his family, friends, record label, nor fans heard from him, it took three months before he was reported missing. What happened to Forrest Schab, and why does it seem like everyone stopped searching for him? Listen as we dive into Mexico, the case of Forrest Schab, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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. Listen as we dive into Roatan, the case of Mariska Mast, and how to stay alive on vacation.
