    Antoine Herran: The Gap, Sydney, Australia

    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. Listen as we dive into Australia, the case of Antoine Herran, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    Jason Cortez Update: An Interview with Candelario Cortez

    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. To learn more about Jason Cortez, please visit https://www.celebratingjasoncortez.com/ If you have ANY information, now is the time to come forward.

    Travis Joseph Sackett: Imbabura Volcano, Ecuador

    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.

    Ryan Borgwardt: Green Lake, Wisconsin

    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.
