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?

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.
Join us as we explore Skye’s story through her family’s eyes.

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.

On August 21st, 2024, we released Episode 41, the case of Ryan Roth. In that episode, I walked you through the timeline of events and shared the details investigators made to the public.
In this episode, I’m joined by Ryan’s uncle, Sean Flynn, as we take a deeper look at who Ryan was before his alleged suicide, why Sean is searching for him, any new updates in the case - and where Ryan might be now.
If you haven’t listened to Episode 41 yet, or need a refresher, I encourage you to revisit it before continuing.
Ryan Roth, born Ryan Flynn, vanished on January 20, 2020 from a cliff in Bali, Indonesia. The 39 year old, originally from England left behind a passport, driver’s license, a suicide note, and other personal belongings.But he also left behind a legacy of deception, dishonesty, and schemes.
Many people, including Indonesian authorities, suspect Ryan staged his disappearance to mimic a suicide and is instead in hiding… taking with him millions of dollars he swindled from friends and family through fraudulent business schemes.

Sarah Papenheim was young, talented, and full of life - a gifted blues drummer from Minnesota with dreams of making a difference.
She traveled halfway across the world to study psychology in the Netherlands, never imagining that the person she shared an apartment with would become her worst nightmare.
It was a quiet December afternoon in 2018 when everything changed. There was a brutal attack, a desperate attempt to escape, and a crime so shocking that it left 2 countries searching for answers.
What really happened behind the closed doors of that Dutch apartment?
Was there a warning sign no one saw?
And who was the man Sarah trusted enough to live with - only for him to betray her in the worst way possible?

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.

On March 20, 2024, we released Episode 19, which covered the tragic case of Jason Cortez. In that episode, I guided you through the timeline of events and shared the publicly available details from investigators.
In this episode, I’m joined by Jason’s father, Candelario Cortez, to delve deeper into Jason’s life, the challenges his family has endured since his heartbreaking murder, and any new developments in the case.
If you haven’t listened to Episode 19 yet, or need a refresher, I encourage you to revisit it before continuing.
Jason’s case began in September 2021, when he left his new wife in Virginia to travel to Los Angeles. He had planned to help a friend with photography for a creative project—a trip meant to be brief and enjoyable. However, on September 10, everything took a devastating turn.
While visiting Ernest E. 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?

Hello fellow travelers and true crime enthusiasts!
I wanted to share a quick update to keep you all in the loop on what’s been happening behind the scenes with The Last Trip Podcast.
Looking ahead, I’m really excited about what’s coming in 2025. I’ve been working on updates for some previous cases and lining up interviews with family members of those cases. These upcoming episodes are close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
Thank you again for being part of this journey with me. Wishing you all a wonderful and healthy holiday season, and I’ll see you in the next episode. -
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.
Are these disappearances the result of unfortunate accidents in the island's rugged terrain, or is there something far more sinister at play?
Join us as we delve into the mystery surrounding Tenerife, uncovering the shadows that lurk beneath this picturesque paradise, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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.

Dana Rishpy, only 24 years old, was last seen on March 30, 2007, at a beach party in Tulum, Mexico. She had arrived in Tulum a few days earlier and met an American man who offered her a place to stay at his hotel. Later, he was named a person of interest, as he was the last person known to have seen her.
In the 17 years since Dana’s disappearance, few clues have emerged, but many rumors have circulated. Her family and friends have never stopped searching and continue to urge authorities to follow every lead and resolve the case.
To this day, Dana has not been found.
