The Last Trip

In the summer of 2008, 23-year-old teacher Hannah Upp was living in New York City when she suddenly vanished.
There was no warning, no explanation, and seemingly no reason for Hannah to walk away from her life. Her family and friends had no idea where she had gone—or what might have happened to her. As the days passed, strange clues began to surface,  but instead of providing answers, they only deepened the mystery. Where was Hannah Upp? And how could a young woman simply disappear in one of the busiest cities in the world?
This is part one of Hannah's story.
Listen as we dive into New York City, the case of Hannah Upp, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In February of 1978, nineteen-year-old Mary Frances Gregory left Ontario for what was supposed to be a road trip to California. But she never made it.
The man traveling with her later said they crossed the United States together before he left Mary at a bus station in Las Vegas. 
But there’s a problem. Almost everything we know about Mary’s final days comes from him. No confirmed bus ticket. No verified sighting in Las Vegas. No arrival in California. And nearly fifty years later, we still don’t know where along that journey Mary actually disappeared.
Listen as we dive into rural 1978 Las Vegas, the case of Mary Frances Gregory, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Graham Norris Horne was 21 years old when he disappeared in rural Virginia. On August 15, 2024, Graham was traveling with a faith-based group when they stopped for gas at a truck stop in Bracey.  According to investigators, there was some kind of disagreement. Graham walked away. He didn’t have a phone. He didn’t know the area. And he had no known ties to the community.
But what happened next would turn a missing-person case into something far more disturbing. Weeks later, workers at a church about six miles away noticed a terrible smell coming from an old well. At the bottom, they found Graham.
Investigators would eventually treat his death as a homicide. But questions remain about what happened after Graham left that truck stop—and how he ended up at the bottom of a well outside a church. Was Graham’s death a tragic accident? Did he encounter someone after walking away? And what, if anything, did the people he had been traveling with know about his disappearance?

On March 31st, 2007, 32-year-old Nicole Vienneau left her hotel in Hama, Syria, for a day of sightseeing. She was nearing the end of a six-month solo backpacking trip through West Africa and the Middle East, and nothing about that morning suggested it would be any different from the countless others she had spent exploring on her own. Nicole left her belongings behind and walked out of the hotel. She was never seen again. No confirmed sightings. No clear trail. No explanation.  Somewhere in Hama, Nicole Vienneau seemingly vanished into thin air.

In January of 2019, 20-year-old Finnish backpacker, Aleksis Nikitin traveled alone to Tioman Island—a remote tropical paradise off the coast of Malaysia. Only days after arriving, he was reportedly planning to hike through the rainforest to a secluded waterfall. But sometime that day, Aleksis disappeared. Back at the home where he was staying, his belongings were left behind—including his passport and wallet. There was no sign that he had packed up, no indication that he planned to leave the island, and no explanation for where he had gone. Search teams combed the jungle. Dogs reportedly picked up his scent along a trail.  But then…the trail went cold.

In October of 1995, 20-year-old Victoria Cafasso traveled to Tasmania on holiday, excited to explore one of Australia's most beautiful islands.  She packed a towel, headed to the beach for a quiet afternoon, and never came home. She was attacked in broad daylight.  Stabbed 17 times on an open beach where dozens of people came and went that day.
And somehow...No one saw anything. No one heard enough to stop it. No one has ever been held responsible. Nearly three decades later, Victoria's murder remains one of Tasmania's most chilling unsolved mysteries.

In the spring of 1989, twenty-year-old Charles Horvath-Allan arrived in the Canadian city of Kelowna, British Columbia.  Like so many young backpackers, he was chasing adventure. He picked up odd jobs, met new people, and settled into a campground near the shores of Okanagan Lake.
Then one day, he was simply gone.
His tent was still standing. His clothes were still there.  His passport, his photographs, and nearly everything he owned had been left behind. But Charles was nowhere to be found.
There would be rumors whispered around town.  Anonymous letters delivered under mysterious circumstances.  Stories, allegations, and claims that people knew exactly what happened 
but were too afraid to talk.

On July 8th, 2014, Lars Mittank walked into an airport in Bulgaria, expecting to fly home after a vacation. Instead, surveillance cameras captured something nobody could explain. Lars suddenly took off running. Not toward his gate. Not to catch a flight. But out of the airport, leaving behind his luggage and phone.
Then he climbed a fence, disappeared into a nearby field, and was never seen again. In Part 1, we talked about Bulgaria, Lars, and the timeline of his disappearance. This week, in Part 2, we discuss the theories behind his disappearance, along with some safety tips for traveling to Bulgaria.
Listen as we dive into Bulgaria, the case of Lars Mittank, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In March 2002, Randy Latona was living in paradise.  The American businessman had traded Las Vegas for the Caribbean island of Roatan, Honduras - a place known for crystal-clear water, coral reefs, and postcard-perfect sunsets. 
Shortly after starting a prominent Rum business, Randy was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head. 
Authorities ruled it a suicide, but his family vehemently disagreed. The only other person inside the condo was his girlfriend, Leslie. Questions quickly surfaced about the scene, the investigation, and what really happened during Randy’s final hours.
Was this a tragic suicide? Or murder?
Over the years, experts would reach dramatically different conclusions, turning this case into a mystery that remains unresolved to this day.
Listen as we dive into Honduras, the case of Randy Latona, and how to stay alive on vacation.
