Ep 35 Lost in Slaycation - Pt. 1

We’re back in Aruba - for a case you may not have heard of. When the Devries Family, from Michigan, visit Aruba on a cathartic getaway after the loss of husband/father George — they are hopeful the waves, sands and water sports will heal their family’s heartache. They have no idea the danger that lurks when they are befriended by two men, a father and his adopted son, both named David Stacey. This case is as dark and twisted as any we’ve covered and is one you won’t soon forget.

On October 17, 1992 -- Yoshihiro "Yoshi' Hattori, a Japanese exchange student living with a host family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, headed to his first Halloween party. However, instead of revelling in ghosts, goblins and other spooky things -- the horror turned real when Yoshi accidentally went to the wrong address. You won't believe the turn of events that unfolded making this Halloween a living Helloween. Besides being a tragic 'slaycation' -- this case, which sparked international outrage, calls into question everything from race, to what constitutes self-defense, to common sense gun laws -- issues which still reverberate throughout the USA over thirty years later.

Steven Cook, a 20-year old, UK resident sets out on holiday in the tourist town of Malia in Crete, Greece. It's the first time he'd ever travelled without his family, but he was with a large group of good friends and a tour organizer. Yet despite all his pals and the festive island vibes -- on the first night of the trip -- Steven gets separated from the group and never makes it back home. Did he meet someone? Was he robbed? Trafficked? Or did some strange accident befall him? This is a case where everyone from local law enforcement, to Steven's friends and family do everything right in their search for Steven... yet somehow he is nowhere to be found. As days turn to weeks; and months turn to years -- the search becomes more desperate and mysterious. As witnesses come forward saying they've seen the young, Brit, hope springs eternal. But in the end... this one ends in a tragedy nobody could have seen coming. All we can say is... stay safe out there Slaycaters!

No, it's not the Natalee Holloway case. It’s the case of Robyn Gardner, a beautiful, blonde, 36 year old wannabe model who is looking for love in all the wrong vacation partners. Having just lost her day job and going through a rough patch, Robyn decides to lie to her current boyfriend, Richard, and take Gary up on his offer for a free trip to Aruba. Gary, an older man (and certified scuba instructor) is someone Robyn had recently met on the Adult Friend Finder website. Not only has Gary been trying to get Robyn to go away with him since they first hooked up, he’s also been kind enough to purchase a large amount of traveler’s life insurance on Robyn. (Always a good sign!) Get ready to roll your eyes into the back of your head as the details of this case play out. And just when you think you know where it’s going… there’s another insane wrinkle that will leave you agape. Definitely one of our wildest cases. Stay safe out there and do your research when choosing your vacation partners!

TRIGGER WARNING for disturbing audio recordings. When Warriena Wright, an adventurous, vivacious, 26 year-old visited Australia's Gold Coast for a destination wedding and some thrill-seeking -- how was she to know that a Tinder date with a handsome local would prove more dangerous than skydiving or scaling the side of the country's tallest building?
