The Last Trip

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.

Ildar Rakhmatulin, 38, was nearing the end of his global journey as he reached Fiji from New Zealand on April 7th, 2023.
Scheduled to fly to Malaysia on April 10th, his plans took an unexpected turn. On April 9th, he departed from his hotel, carrying only his backpack and suitcase, inadvertently leaving his phone and keys behind. His departure from the hotel was the last known sighting of him, as he vanished without a trace.
Despite efforts to locate him, the mystery surrounding his disappearance remains unsolved. The lack of clues has left many questions unanswered: Did he intentionally disappear? Was there an unforeseen incident? Or could foul play be involved? The absence of leads only deepens the mystery, leaving speculation about his fate and whereabouts unanswered.

Jason Cortez, 29, left his new bride behind in Virginia to journey to Los Angeles, where he lent his photography skills to a friend's creative project.
On September 10th, 2021, during a hike with his friend at Ernest E Debs Regional Park, tragedy struck. A sudden shot pierced the air, and Jason collapsed. Despite desperate attempts at CPR by his companion, Jason succumbed to the senseless violence.
This heinous act demands justice for its cold and random nature. Though the investigation is challenged by sparse clues and a lack of apparent motive, a sketch of the assailant offers a glimmer of hope for resolution.

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!

Admidst the shock and grief, her friends pointed the finger at another guest staying at the resort. Yet, despite their suspicions, there has been no justice for Marie.
What happened on that fateful evening?

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.

Levi Davis, a famous Rugby player and former contestant on Celebrity X Factor, abruptly vanished from Barcelona in October 2022.  While backpacking across Europe, Levi spontaneously took a ferry from Ibiza to Barcelona.

In a chilling turn of events, just before his disappearance, Levi uploaded a 15-minute video on Instagram unveiling distressing allegations of abuse and blackmail. He claimed his life was at risk due to governmental corruption and ties to organized crime.
The few clues available point us in various directions. Was Levi the target of a murder plot? Did he choose to disappear into hiding? Was he grappling with a mental health crisis? Or was there a tragic drowning? These questions linger, adding to the mystery surrounding his disappearance.
Listen as we dive into Barcelona, the case of Levi Davis, and how to stay alive on vacation.

At the age of 36, Tiphaine Veron embarked on a three-week dream vacation from France to Japan.
On July 28, 2018, she enjoyed breakfast at her hotel before setting out for a day of sightseeing. Despite meticulous planning, fluent Japanese language skills, and a prior visit to the country, Tiphaine mysteriously vanished. There have been extensive searches, but no clues or evidence have ever been discovered.
Japanese police initially suggested Tiphaine had been in an accident and sought to close the case, but her family remained unconvinced.
Continuing their own investigation, they believe that something more sinister may have happened to Tiphaine.
Listen as we dive into Nikko, Japan, the case of Tiphaine Veron, and how to stay alive on vacation.
