Slaycation: True Crimes, Murders, and Twisted Vacations episodes

October 12 Found Dead at Club Med!
Hey Slaycaters! Once again we find ourselves taking a trip to the dark side of paradise! In 2018, Long Island attorney Marie Kuhnla traveled to the beautiful Turks and Caicos for what should have been a relaxing tropical getaway. But her vacation came to a shocking and tragic end. What followed was a disturbing case that raised serious questions about the investigation, the people connected to it, and whether Marie's family would ever get the answers they were looking for. With no criminal charges filed and years of legal battles still to contend with, this is a case about a resort that is all-inclusive — except justice. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, and please stay safe out there! XXOO

October 05 Surgeon Gets the Knife From Chef in Thailand!
Hey Slaycaters! It’s time for another trip to the dark side of paradise! Thailand’s tropical islands are famous for their beautiful beaches, wild parties, and carefree vacation vibes. But in 2023, a meeting between a Colombian surgeon and a ‘celebrity YouTube chef’ who happens to be the son of a famous Spanish actor took a shocking turn. Instead of celebrating the Full Moon party, resort-goers set off on a full search party to find the missing surgeon. What they would find—and who was responsible—would change many lives forever, and not in a good way. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, and please stay safe out there! XXOO

August 24 The Forgotten Victim in Italy (Part 2)
So, who actually killed Meredith Kercher? In Part 2, we finally get to the answer—and the twists, turns, and questionable police work that helped turn a tragic murder investigation into one of the biggest media circuses in true crime history. But even after the killer was identified and Amanda Knox was ultimately cleared, the spotlight somehow kept shining everywhere except where it belonged: on Meredith. From international headlines to books, documentaries, interviews, and endless debates about Amanda Knox, Meredith's life and legacy were repeatedly overshadowed by the people accused of taking her life. So let's finish Meredith's story, separate the facts from the frenzy, and remember the person at the center of it all—not just the murder, the mystery, or the media circus. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, and please stay safe out there! XXOO
