    Sandra Valentine: Sri Lanka

    Sandra Valentine: Sri Lanka

    In 1989, Sandra Valentine was a successful 30 year old woman living in New York, when she decided to travel the world for a year. 
    But 8 months into her trip, on March 28th, she mysteriously vanished in Sri Lanka.  These were the days before cell phone tracking and cameras on every corner, so there were no clues left behind, until months later when her diary was found giving her family insight into her last days.
    But still, 35 years later, Sandra Valentine is still missing.
    Listen as we dive into Sri Lanka, the case of Sandra Valentine, and how to stay alive on vacation.

    Mariska Mast: Roatan, Honduras

    Mariska Mast: Roatan, Honduras

    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.

    Carla Valpeoz: Pisac, Peru

    Carla Valpeoz: Pisac, Peru

    Carla Valpeoz was 35 years old when she left Michigan with a friend 
    to attend a wedding, celebrate her birthday, and explore Peru.
    Following the wedding, and wanting to do some solo exploring, Carla ventured alone 
    to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
    But tragically, the last known sighting of Carla was captured by surveillance cameras in the village of Pisac on the morning of December 12th, 2018, a she made her way toward the Sacred Valley.
    This journey held profound significance for Carla, because she had been slowly losing her sight since childhood and already had very low vision.  She was determined to see the wonders of the world before darkness took over.
    What transpired thereafter remains a mystery. Did Carla's visual impairment render her vulnerable to foul play? Or did an unfortunate accident befall her?
    Listen as we dive into Peru, the case of Carla Valpeoz, and how to stay alive on vacation.
