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?

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.

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.
Listen as we dive into Guatemala, the case of Justin Booska, and how to stay alive on vacation.

She had arrived in Tulum a few days earlier and met an American man who offered her a place to stay at his hotel.

To this day, Dana has not been found.

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?

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.

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.
Listen as we dive into Guatemala , the case of Nancy Ng, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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.
Listen as we dive into The Bahamas and the Sivananda Yoga Retreat, the case of Taylor Casey, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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.
Listen as we dive into the Dominican Republic, the case of Darryl Fornatora, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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.
