On June 30th, 2005, a fishing boat called the Freedom left the San Pedro marina for an overnight trip off the coast of Southern California. When it returned, one man never came back.  Patrick McDermott - a cameraman, a father, and the former partner of Olivia Newton-John.  His car was found parked near the dock.  His wallet, passport, and keys were left behind on the boat.  But Patrick himself had vanished.
The Coast Guard would later say he was likely lost at sea. Yet no body was ever recovered - and over the years, rumors of financial trouble, a possible staged disappearance, and alleged sightings in Mexico have kept this case alive.
Listen as we dive into California, the case of Patrick McDermott, and how to stay alive on vacation.

On the morning of September 21st, 2015, a young woman walked into a small roadside cafe in Northern California… and never walked back out.
Asha Kreimer was 26 years old.  She was far from home, struggling, and in visible distress in the days before she vanished.  Hours earlier, she’d been released from a hospital.  Now, inside a quiet diner near the cliffs of Mendocino County, she stood up from the table, said she was going to the bathroom - and disappeared. She had no phone, no money, and no identification.  Her jacket would later be found near the edge of the coastline.  Asha herself was never seen again.
What happened to Asha Kreimer?  And how does someone vanish from a cafe in broad daylight… without a trace?

The Rainbow Gathering promises freedom.  A place where strangers become family, where the rules of the outside world fall away, and the road ahead feels endless.
In the summer of 2018, 18 year old Amber Robinson followed that promise into the woods of Georgia.  She was young, curious, and chasing connection. 
At the gathering, she met a man. When the drums faded and the camp dispersed, the two left together - hitchhiking toward whatever came next.
But Amber never made it home. Days later, her life would end violently in a stranger’s house hundred of miles away.  A journey meant for peace - became something far darker.
Listen as we dive into the The Rainbow Family, the case of Amber Robinson, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Terrence Woods Jr. was supposed to be on an adventure of a lifetime.
He was a young filmmaker from Maryland, working his way up the industry ladder, hired to shoot a gold-mining reality series deep in the Idaho wilderness.  He’d texted his dad that he’d be home earlier than planned… that something had shifted and he couldn’t wait to get back.
But on October 5th, 2018, as the crew wrapped for the day on the edge of the remote, razor-steep cliffs of the Penman mine… Terrence vanished.
Witnesses say he suddenly dropped his radio, sprinted toward the tree line… and vanished into a violent, vertical landscape where even rescuers struggled to stand. Crews scoured the canyon. Helicopters swept the forest. Search dogs tracked. Nothing was found.  The production team insisted he simply bolted.  His family insisted something was very wrong.   And in the years since, the only thing we’ve found are questions.
Listen as we dive into the Idaho, the case of Terrence Woods Jr, and how to stay alive on vacation.
