Shanquella Robinson was a 25 year old woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, who died under very suspicious circumstances while on vacation with a group of friends in Cabo San Lucas Mexico in October 2022.
As clues came in and her friends’ stories changed, developments surrounding the investigation gained significant attention both in the media and online. The Mexican authorities ruled Shanquella’s death a homicide, but the FBI declined to file charges.
What happened to Shanquella Robinson, and why has nobody been brought to justice?
Listen as we dive into Cabo, the case of Shanquella, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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?

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

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.

Ryan Roth, born Ryan Flynn, vanished from a cliff in Bali, Indonesia, on January 20, 2020. The 39-year-old, originally from Southampton, England, left behind his passport, driver’s license, a suicide note, and other personal items at the site.
However, many, including Indonesian authorities, believe Ryan may have faked his disappearance to look like a suicide and is actually in hiding.
His uncle, Sean Flynn, has been searching for him ever since, and his story will be featured in an upcoming documentary.
Listen as we dive into Bali Indonesia, the case of Ryan Roth, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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?

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.
What happened to Alex Gumm?
