A mother and daughter arrive at grand old hotel after a long journey. The daughter becomes ill, and the mother rushes to get medical help. But when she returns to the room...her daughter is gone. The hotel staff insists she checked in alone.

This unsettling tale has been retold for over a century, in books, films, around campfires, and across continents. But behind the legend lies a real historical case that's even stranger. It helped cement this story as one of the most haunting travel mysteries ever told.

In this episode of Murder Most Brewed, we explore the eerie origins of the "vanishing hotel room" legend, the real-life case that influenced the myth and how the fear, secrecy, and power shaped the legend.

Pour yourself something warm and settle in because we are diving into a mystery where a single moment of desperation becomes a tale the world refuses to forget.
