AMAZINGLY this episode begins with NO chit-chat, NO rambling—we dive right in with an old-school DXSW Sense of Place, setting the scene of South Padre Island and Matamoros, Mexico, to transport you right into the heart of this haunting tale! From there, it’s straight into Part One (yes, it’s a two-parter, but I promise—it’s worth it!) of the chilling and tragic story of Mark Kilroy.Mark was a bright, young college student heading off to spring break in 1989, ready for sunshine, adventure, and making some unforgettable memories with his childhood friends! What he found instead was a nightmare beyond anything you can imagine. This story delves into a shocking abduction, an unspeakable crime, and takes a terrifying look at what happens when pure evil crosses your path.Buckle up, because Part One sets the stage for a tale you’ll never forget—and one that will make you think twice about trusting strangers in paradise.

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷
