Cheating Death in the Australian Bush

Hey Slaycation Nation — we are back with a crazy case that will leave you guessing and gasping.  No spoilers here but let’s just say when 70 year old Russell Clay told his wife he was going on a solo camping trip in Australia’s Wonnangatta Valley in March of 2020… one of those key details wasn’t true.  What happens next is a tale of pure terror straight out of a low-budget horror movie.  Because sometimes a murder at hand is worth two in the bush.  As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and stay safe out there.       SLAYCATION is Recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio by Josh Wilcox and Edited by Kelley Marcano MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim’ bonus episodes.

Hey Slaycaters — time to combine three of our most common ingredients — boats, the Ocean and murder — as we cook up another Slaycation that will have you wondering WTF is wrong with people!!  It should've been a routine trip for the Miami-based charter boat The Joe Cool.  Instead, things were anything but cool on board for Captain Jake Branam, his wife Kelley and crew members Scott Gamble and Samuel Kairy as their well-armed passengers had more than fishing and a trip to nearby Bimini on their minds.  We’ll spare you the details here — but just know, they would have been safer on Quint’s boat in Jaws!  As always, thanks for listening and Slaycating with us — and please stay safe out there!

Hey Slaycaters, oh boy. Here we go. Everything you come to Slaycation for all wrapped up in a crazy case that is sure to overload your ‘WTF’ detector. Mackenzie Michalski, a bright, energetic, 31-year old, nurse practitioner with a penchant for exploration & travel was finishing up a dream vacation in Budapest. Her travel companion had left earlier that day and Kenzie wanted one final, fun night out on the town. Unfortunately, things took a dark and fatal turn when she meets a deeply troubled young man with… a lot of baggage.  Trust us when we say this case goes way off the rails and is almost too horrific to be true.  As always, thanks for listening & supporting the show.  And please — stay safe out there!    SLAYCATION is Recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio by Josh Wilcox and Edited by Kelley Marcano MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim’ bonus episodes.

Hey Slaycaters, time for another vacation gone wrong. This time a road trip. The sad and tragic story of Chelsea Grimm is a tale as old as time. Girl from San Diego gets invited to friend’s wedding in Connecticut. Girl refuses to fly because she doesn’t want to put her treasured pet bearded dragon under the plane. Girl decides to drive cross country. Girl loads treasured bearded dragon into car and sets out. Girl makes it as far as Arizona when things go awry.  Girl winds up on our show.

Hey Slaycaters, following Bad Bunny’s sensational Super Bowl performance, comes another successful performance, on a far smaller scale — followed by the unbearable tragedy that Slaycation is known for.  Reggaetón artist Bayron Sanchez, known professionally as B-King, was fast on his way to global superstardom. He had the look, the voice, the drive & the determination to make it to the top.  Already a hit in his home country of Colombia, B-King embarked on his first international tour — first stop, Mexico.  But it wasn’t long after his triumphant first show that B-King and his DJ, Jorge Luis Herrera (known as ‘Regio Clown’) ran into some deadly trouble.  No es bueno. As always thanks for listening & stay safe out there!    Slaycation is Recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio by Josh Wilcox and Edited by Kelley Marcano MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim’ bonus episodes.

Greetings Slaycaters, this is Part 2 of a case that is going to make you feel a certain way. If you haven't heard part 1 - go listen first! Yeah… There’s no way to sugarcoat this one. All Thomas and Jackie Hawks wanted to do was sell their yacht, named ‘Well Deserved’, and use the money to move from Newport Beach, CA to Arizona where they could be with their newly born Grandson. But as fate would have it — they had been targeted by pure evil and this seemingly simple transaction was about to cost them their lives. And yes, we know, you don’t love two-part episodes. It’s not our favorite either — but trust us when we say this would be a whole lot of horrible & WTF for one episode! As always, we thank you for listening and bid you safe travels on land, air and sea!

Hey Slaycaters, welcome to one of our strangest and most unique cases yet. Everything from the remote location, to the victim’s occupation, to the potential suspects and cause of death are all things we have yet to encounter on this show….and that’s saying a lot!  Ever since he was a kid, Rodney Marks wanted to be a Scientist. Not only did he make his dream a reality — he secured a coveted job working out of a research outpost in Antarctica —  one of the best places on Earth for an astrophysicist to study the night sky. Unfortunately, the scientific expedition turned deadly after a night of hard-partying — proving you aren’t safe on any continent!  As always we thank you for joining us, and we beg you to stay safe during some unsafe times.  Episode starts around 9:15 after ads & banter Slaycation is Recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio by Josh Wilcox and Edited by Kelley Marcano MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim’ bonus episodes.

Richard "Rich-Lee" Ragland III loved capturing moments. June 4, 2017 at Foster Falls was his last. What disappeared with him that day could have been lost forever.

Hey Slaycaters we kick off year three of Slaycation with a twisty-turny case that will leave you shocked, appalled and questioning humanity.  Part of the reason we make and consume true crime shows is to try and get a handle on ‘what would cause a seemingly normal person to become a murderous monster?’  Well, buckle up — because this case delves deep into the darkness of evil that exists in the heart and mind of a killer.  Poor Mackenzie Lueck, a good Mormon girl attending college in Utah, probably could have made some better life choices, but when you find yourself in the clutches of a madman who is determined to kill — it almost doesn’t matter what you did to get there. You’ve been warned.  As always we thank you so much for ‘Slaycating’ with us and we beg of you — please stay safe out there! CASE STARTS at 8:40 (after ads & lots of banter/reviews etc!)
