The Last Trip

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.
Listen as we dive into Canada, the case of Charles Horvath-Allen, and how to stay alive on vacation.

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.

Harry Devert was the kind of person who was always chasing the next adventure. A world traveler from New York, he’d spent years backpacking through different countries, sleeping wherever the road took him, and documenting his journeys along the way.
But in 2014, during a solo motorcycle trip through Mexico on his way to the World Cup in Brazil… Harry suddenly vanished.
Before disappearing, he sent unsettling messages to his girlfriend — saying he’d been escorted out of a dangerous area by the military, and warning that the region he was riding through was heavily controlled by cartels. 
Then, without explanation, all communication stopped. No more calls. No more posts. No sign of Harry or his motorcycle.
And in one of the most violent regions in Mexico… that silence would only fuel the mystery.
Listen as we dive into Mexico, the case of Harry Devert, and how to stay alive on vacation.
