The Last Trip

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.

Elliot Blair, 33, and his wife Kim from Orange County, California, traveled to Rosarito, Mexico, to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. On the evening of January 13, 2023, after enjoying dinner, drinks, and dancing, the couple returned to their resort. While Kim went to sleep, Elliot took a shower before bed. Shortly afterward, hotel staff woke Kim to inform her that Elliot had died. Mexican authorities concluded that Elliot had been intoxicated and accidentally fell over the railing of the open-air walkway. However, with a blood alcohol level of 0.1, a fall of only 20-25 feet, and 40 fractures to the back of his skull, his family thinks he was murdered.

In January 2015, Nara Pech marked his recent college graduation by embarking on a three-week journey through Southeast Asia with two close friends. However, only a week into the trip, upon reaching Laos, the 28-year-old wanted to cut his vacation short. His friends, assuming he boarded a plane back to Canada, left him at the airport. Tragically, this decision marked the final time anyone laid eyes on Nara alive. His demise unfolded in a harrowing manner within the bustling confines of the airport restaurant, yet no witnesses surfaced, nor did any bystanders capture the incident on video. Additionally, Laotian authorities will not release the full surveillance footage. Airport officials hastily concluded that Nara took his own life, yet the available evidence contradicts this assertion. The circumstances surrounding Nara Pech's demise in the Laos airport remain shrouded in mystery, prompting speculation and questions about what truly transpired. Listen as we dive into Southeast Asia, the case of Nara Pech, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Alysha Hanin traveled from New Zealand to Miami, Florida on December 10th, 2001, intending to address some matters before returning home to begin a new life with her 3-year-old son. However, her anticipated return never occurred. The last sighting of Alysha was as she left a luxurious hotel in South Miami Beach in the early hours of January 6th, 2002. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance raise numerous questions: Was her occupation as an escort a factor? Did she become a victim of random violence? Did she choose to vanish voluntarily from her life? Alternatively, could her recent breakup with her allegedly abusive boyfriend, have played a role? Alysha's son, now a year older than his mother was at the time of her disappearance, seeks closure and resolution to the mystery surrounding his mother's fate. On this week's episode we're joined by Sofia Wardell, from The Travel Brats Podcast, to give us the lowdown on everything Miami!

In February 2016, Jon Jonsson embarked on a trip from Iceland to Dublin, Ireland, for a poker tournament. He played through the night, with his fiancee joining him the next morning for a 10-day holiday. However, when she arrived, he seemingly stepped out of the hotel for a cigarette, and mysteriously vanished without a trace. Despite extensive efforts, including a recent search spurred by two anonymous letters received on the 5th anniversary of his disappearance, authorities have been unable to uncover any substantial leads. The search, employing divers, ground-penetrating technology, and search dogs, focused on a Dublin park but yielded no results after three days. As the investigation stalls again, authorities urge the authors of the anonymous letters to come forward, believing their information could be crucial in solving the case. Listen as we dive into Dublin, the case of Jon Jonsson, and how to stay alive on vacation.

While at a nightclub with friends, she was separated from the group and never made it back to the hostel.   Almost three weeks later, her lifeless body was discovered in the Adriatic Sea.   While Croatia officially labeled it as a death resulting from "misadventure", compelling evidence suggests the possibility of murder.   Amidst swirling rumors, there are allegations of a police coverup, a mysterious call from her phone during the period she was missing, reports of other travelers encountering attempted abductions in the same vicinity, and a list of potential suspects.  The circumstances surrounding Britt Lapthorne's demise raise questions about the true nature of events leading to her tragic end.

Max Castor planned the journey of a lifetime.  At the age of 19, he left Sweden with two friends, arriving in Australia on October 19, 2004 for an epic year-long backpacking expedition across the country.  Six months later, Max's friends returned home.  In a perplexing move, Max sent all his personal belongings, along with his money and plane ticket, back to his family. Accompanying this package was a note indicating his intent to vanish. And vanish he did. The mystery surrounding Max's disappearance raises a multitude of questions.  Was there an unforseen accident, or did foul play enter the equation? Did he make the heartbreaking decision to end his own life, or did he opt for a fresh start, walking away from his previous life? Despite the uncertainty, Max's father clung to the belief that his son was alive. He tirelessly searched for Max until his own passing in 2020. The lingering question persists: Where is Max Castor?
