The Last Trip

This past summer I had the opportunity to join some amazing podcaster's for the Death Not Yet Series. This episode of Survivor || COLLEEN STAN || The Last Trip for Death Not Yet first aired on July 4th. This is a Podcaster’s Give Back collaboration. All podcasters have donated their time and research to help advocate for victims of domestic violence. And we are raising money to give back to non profits which are standing with survivors. To donate, please visit buymeacoffee.com/youshouldbehere. In this episode, we’re traveling back to 1977 - to a quiet California highway where 20 year old Colleen Stan made a simple, trusting choice to hitch a ride. What followed was a seven-year ordeal so disturbing, it shocked investigators, psychologists, and the public alike. She was held captive in a coffin-like box. Controlled, isolated, manipulated.  But this isn’t just the story of what was done to her - it’s about what she did next.

In November 2008, 30-year-old Ani Ashekian landed in Hong Kong—jet-lagged, excited, and ready for her next adventure. She sent a quick birthday text to her niece, withdrew cash from an ATM… and then vanished without a trace. No calls. No bank activity. No confirmed sightings.  Just a few seconds of CCTV showing Ani standing calmly in a crowded terminal—moments before she disappeared into a city of seven million people. Was she the victim of a robbery, a scam, or something far darker? Or did Ani choose to disappear on her own terms? Her journal, later discovered in Canada, hinted at secret plans—but also a growing undercurrent of fear. Listen as we dive into Hong Kong, the case of Ani Ashekian, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In November 2018, a young man vanished into the gray sea night, stepping across the forbidden line that separated two worlds.  His name was John Allen Chau - twenty-six years old, an American with a quiet resolve, a missionary’s conviction burning in his chest. He sailed toward North Sentinel Island - a place sealed off from the modern world, where the Sentinelese have refused all contact for centuries. But he wasn’t a tourist. He saw himself as a messenger with a message no one else dared deliver. He carried in his pack a waterproof Bible, gifts, hopes, and a deep certainty that he would either be welcomed or die trying. What followed is part tragedy, part mystery. The fisherman who dropped him off  claimed they saw islanders dragging a body across the sand and a burial at dusk. But exactly what happened in the hours between his arrival and his death - no one knows. His body was never recovered. Was he a martyr? A fool? A man haunted by divine urgency? Or someone who crossed the ultimate boundary - between the known and the unknowable - and paid the price?

In March 2020, 18 year old Eloi Rolland left his homestay on Auckland’s North Shore  just before dawn. He was a French exchange student - curious, soft-spoken,  and enchanted by New Zealand’s beauty. That morning he opened Google Maps and searched the word Piha. A remote black-sand beach known for its cliffs, its isolation… and its danger. He caught a bus, then a train. CCTV caught him walking alone as the city woke up. By 9:18am, his phone pinged one final time along Piha Road in Waitakere Ranges -  and then… nothing.No more messages. No more movement. No more Eloi.  Police scoured the bushland - dense, silent, and endless - but no trace of him was ever found. What happened in the misty hills outside Auckland? Did Eloi wander off the track? Fall off the cliffs?  Or was something - or someone - waiting for him there? Listen as we dive into New Zealand, the case of Eloi Rolland, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In 1975, a musician named Jim Sullivan got into his car and left Los Angeles behind. He was heading east, chasing a new beginning - or maybe running from something he couldn’t name. He was tall, handsome, magnetic - and his music carried that same restless energy.  Songs about highways, lost souls, and vanishing into the unknown. The kind of lyrics that feel like they’re trying to tell you something… if you’re really listening. Somewhere along that long stretch of desert road, Jim stopped - and from that moment on, no one knows what happened next. His story faded into rumor, mystery, and myth - tangled up in the same strange beauty that filled his songs. Today, we’re going to follow the same road Jim Sullivan took - the one that led him deep into the desert… and out of the world we know. Listen as we dive into New Mexico, the case of Jim Sullivan, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?

May 12, 2004 - a day that began like any other for the Devries family.  They were on vacation in Aruba, seeking a moment’s peace, maybe a bit of hope, after a great loss.  Fourteen year old Max, eager for an adventure, asked to go out on a jet ski with a man they recently befriended. By afternoon, that simple request would become the portal to a mystery no one has solved. The man returned - alone. Max did not. What’s astonishing is how quickly questions outpaced answers. The man’s story would shift - from jet ski trouble, to a tow gone wrong, to Max slipping away in the waves, to even claiming he was swimming for shore. Yet no one was ever charged. Max was declared “lost at sea”. What really happened to Max Devries on that Aruban ocean. Was it a tragic accident, or something far more sinister?  Listen as we dive into Aruba, the case of Max DeVries, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?

It was April 1st, 1981, when Johnny Waterman, a 29 year old brilliant climber and haunted soul, set out from the Mountain House deep in the Ruth Glacier of Denali National Park.  His goal was the East Buttress of Denali, approached via the northwest fork of the Ruth - an audacious, almost impossible route in the winter. He carried remarkably little: a sled, snowshoes, not much food, and wands to mark his route. No tent, no sleeping bag. He told a fellow climber he believed he could manage with minimal gear. He was last seen somewhere around 11,000 feet - cutting a straight line through a labyrinth of crevasses and snow chutes.  Then…. He vanished.

Rebecca Middleton was just 17 years old - on the trip of a lifetime with her best friend - when a chance encounter shattered everything.  What should have been sun-drenched days of beaches and laughter turned into one of the most brutal and baffling murders the island had ever seen. But the horror of Rebecca’s death was only the beginning. What followed was a twisted path of botched investigations, lost evidence, and a justice system that seemed unwilling - or unable - to deliver the truth.  Nearly three decades later, the scars of that night still linger, raising questions about power, corruption, and the uneasy shadows that hide behind picture perfect beauty. Today, we’re stepping into the mystery of Bermuda’s most infamous unsolved crime - where innocence met violence and where justice slipped away into the tide.

It was just before dawn on August 12th, 1992, when thirty-six year old Pamela June Ray pulled into a motel parking lot in Panama City Beach, Florida.  Her two young children were asleep in the backseat, unaware their lives were about to change forever. Pamela was seen speaking with a man near the motel pool. She locked the car, left her children inside, and walked away with him into the early morning darkness.  Minutes later, someone heard a scream. By the time the sun came up, Pamela was gone - and she has never been seen again. Who was the man she followed? What happened in those missing minutes? And why, more than three decades later, does her disappearance remain one of Florida’s most haunting mysteries?

He was a lawyer, an activist, a wild, larger-than-life figure who thrived in chaos. Then, one day in 1974, Oscar Zeta Acosta boarded a boat in Mexico—and vanished. No witnesses. No body. Just whispers of murder, political revenge, or a man bold enough to erase himself. Half a century later, the question still lingers: what really happened to Oscar Zeta Acosta?

On the night of July 6th, 2019, in western Nebraska, a young father seemingly vanished into thin air.  He was Chance Englebert, a 25 year old welder, cowboy and newlywed - gone without a trace.  Earlier that day, Chance had been visiting his in-laws when a casual round of golf turned tense due to some remarks about his new job that angered him.  Upset, he told his wife he wanted to go back home to Wyoming.  When she didn’t agree to leave town - he got out of the car and walked away.  Alone. On foot. With a storm brewing overhead. Surveillance cameras later captured him walking through town, looking down at his phone, like someone reading a map. He sent a final text that didn’t sound like it came from him. And just like that, no one ever heard from him again. His disappearance ignited one of the most baffling manhunts in the region.

In the fall of 2017, Enrique Garibay Ruiz—a physicist, mathematician, and writer—left Budapest for what he promised would be a short trip to the United States. He visited New York, then flew west to Los Angeles, checking into a hostel and renting a gray Toyota RAV4. He told his family he’d be home soon. But Enrique never came home. On October 3rd, he checked out of the hostel.  On October 4th, he rented the car.  On October 5th, he told his wife he was at the airport, waiting for a flight back to Hungary. Just hours later, in the early morning of October 6th, his credit card was swiped at a Carl’s Jr. near LAX. After that—nothing. The car was never returned. Enrique was never seen again. In one of the busiest cities in the world, he simply vanished. Listen as we dive into the Los Angeles, the case of Enrique Garibay Ruiz, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Christina "Licorice" McKechnie was once at the heart of the 1960s counterculture - singing with the Incredible String Band, recording on celebrated albums, and performing on the stage at Woodstock. But after the mid-1970s, her story begins to blur. By the mid-1980s, she had seemingly vanished. There are no police records, no clear timeline, and no obituary. Just scattered whispers, half-remembered sightings, and decades of unanswered questions. Did Licorice step away from the world on her own terms, or did something far more unsettling happen? Listen as we dive into the Woodstock Festival, the case of Christina "Licorice" McKechnie, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?

It was spring break on Florida’s Gulf Coast - sun, surf, and twenty-two college students crammed into a rental house along Panama City Beach.  Among them was 21 year old Reny Jose, a student from Rice University with a bright future ahead of him.   But on the night of March 3, 2014, Reny stepped out into the evening and was never seen again.  By the next morning, his friends reported him missing.  Most of his belongings were left neatly in his room.  His phone and some clothing turned up in a nearby trash bin, and more clothing was scattered by the beach. Sixteen of the students who had traveled with him quickly packed up and left town. What really happened in those missing hours?  Did Reny wander into the waves?  Was he the victim of foul play?  Or is there a darker truth hidden in the silence of his friends? This is the story of a young man who vanished during spring break in one of  America’s most infamous party towns - and the questions that have haunted his family, and investigators, for more than a decade. Listen as we dive into Panama City Beach, the case of Reny Jose, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime - a luxury island resort in the Maldives, white sand beaches, turquoise water stretching endlessly toward the horizon. For Giedre Vaskyte, a 33 year old Canadian woman, it was a last quiet getaway before her life changed forever.  She was eight months pregnant, and the baby’s due date was just weeks away.  In February 2021, she checked into the intercontinental Maamunagau with her husband, ready to soak in the sun and serenity.  But on a warm, peaceful afternoon, she stepped away from the pool, walked toward the ocean - and vanished. The official story? That she drowned. But her family says that’s impossible.  She was a strong swimmer. She knew the ocean.  And they believe something far more sinister happened. Was this truly a tragic accident in paradise?  Or is someone hiding what really happened to Giedre Vaskyte? Listen as we dive into the Maldives, the case of Giedre Vaskyte, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?

Mark Kilroy was a bright, athletic college student - a pre-med major with a promising future.  Blowing off steam on a spring break getaway to the sun-drenched border town of Matamoros, Mexico.  But somewhere between the neon-lit bars and crowded streets, Mark vanished without a trace. At first, it looked like another spring break gone wrong - just a kid who wandered off. But what investigators would uncover over the next few weeks was darker, stranger,  and more terrifying than anyone could have imagined. Buried in the desert was a secret ranch… A bloodstained altar… And the remains of a human sacrifice performed by a cult that believed death could make them invisible to law enforcement. This isn’t just a story of murder. It’s a story of black magic, cartel power, and how one young man’s disappearance unraveled a ritualistic killing spree that shocked the world.

It was the start of a perfect weekend in September 2009 when 61-year-old Melvin Nadel - black belt, seasoned bowhunter, and respected gym owner - set out on a hunting trip near Pecos, New Mexico. While his friends ventured out, Mel stayed near camp. But when they returned before dark, he was gone. His Jeep was locked. His gear untouched. Trackers followed his scent just a few hundred feet - and then it vanished. No struggle. No blood. No clues. Just... gone. Despite search efforts, no trace of Mel has ever been found. His disappearance remains one of New Mexico's most chilling mysteries, tied to whispers of foul play and the eerie legends of the "Pecos Triangle." What happened to Melvin Nadel that day in the woods? And how does a man vanish without a trace? Listen as we dive into New Mexico, the case of Melvin Nadel, and how to stay alive on vacation.

In February 2013, 20 year old Crishtian Hughes flew to San Francisco to visit friends, he was excited for a weekend away. He told his mom he'd be home in a few days, but Crishtian never came back. The night before his flight home, he left his friend's house in the middle of the night - and vanished.  Over a decade later, his family is still waiting. Still searching.  Still asking the same chilling question: What happened in those early morning hours... and why has no one come forward? Was it a choice? A cry for help? A random act of violence?  Or something far more sinister - part of a disturbing pattern of young men disappearing without a trace?

In March 2000, 23-year-old Leah Roberts packed her Jeep Cherokee, grabbed her cat—and vanished.  Not without a trace, but into the vast, mist-covered wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by Jack Kerouac, Leah set off from North Carolina on a soul-searching road trip, leaving behind a trail of personal tragedy: the sudden death of both parents and a near-fatal car crash. She carried $3,000 in cash and no clear destination—just a sense that something was waiting for her out west. Days later, her Jeep was found wrecked at the bottom of a remote embankment near Bellingham, Washington.  Inside: her clothes, blankets, an engagement ring tucked under the floor mat.  Outside: no Leah. No blood. No footprints. No sign of struggle. But then came the troubling clues—tampered wires, male DNA, an unidentifiable fingerprint.  Accident? Escape? Or something darker hidden in the shadows of the Cascades? Listen as we dive into Washington, the case of Leah Roberts, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?
