Imagine this, you're a 12 year old girl living in Ireland, your parents have divorced and your Mother brings you to Spain on a "vacation," along with her new boyfriend, who you aren't particularly fond of. And then... BAM! You learn that this vacation is actually a staycation -- as in you're staying in Spain to start a new life due to Mom's boyfriend's business. Oh, and it's not just any part of Spain -- it's a touristy section nicknamed "The Coast of Crime." As crazy as this sounds, this actually happened to Amy Fitzpatrick in the mid-2000s. Like many unhappy teenagers, Amy starts spending more and more time away from home, but when she doesn't return from a friend's place on New Year's Day, 2008, it sets off an intense search, lots of questions and conflicting reports and a series of unfortunate tragedies that will leave you shocked and questioning everything you think you know about this case.

Grace Emmie Rose Millane, a vivacious, full-of-life, 21-year old, left her home in the UK to go on an extensive backpacking world-tour while on a gap-year in her studies. She made it as far as Auckland, New Zealand -- where, after a night of heavy drinking on her 22nd birthday, she decided to go home with Jesse Kempson, a Tinder date she met that day. She was never seen again. We unpack the mystery of her disappearance and ensuing investigation which was greatly aided by the numerous CCTV cameras throughout the city. Was this a case of sex play gone wrong or did Grace wind up in the clutches of a sociopathic monster?

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!

We're taking on three - yes, count 'em THREE - bizarre vacation murder mysteries. From two sisters in a $2,000/night resort in Seychelles; to Grandparents meeting a grisly end in Egypt; to a woman found naked, soaking wet and dead in the closet of her Wales timeshare -- each of these three strange but true, Slaycation mini-mysteries will have you enthralled and playing amateur detective. You'll also never look at a hotel, luxury resort or timeshare the same way again!

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!
