Hey Slaycaters, we are back with a cruel case involving a cruel twist of fate on Tenerife, the largest of the Spanish Canary Islands. Jay Slater, a 19-year old bricklayer from the UK is on holiday with some friends when things go from great, to less great to really, really bad. Without giving anything away, let’s just say while you might be a party-animal — you don’t want to be walking home through the jungle the next morning. This case also provides a window into how the internet can often be just

Stonewall's Last Stand on the Appalachian Trail

2025/12/01

Here we go again, Slaycation Fam — back on the Appalachian Trail for a solo hiking adventure...what could possibly go wrong? Well, if we’re talking about it, then…everything. But here’s an interesting wrinkle — the victim was a 30-year old man. Scott Lilly, from South Bend Indiana, needed a reset — to clear his mind he decided to challenge himself by hiking hundreds of miles along the Southern route of the Appalachian Trail. Things were going well at first as he checked in with his family. But

Adam's Haunted Hotel Story (Bonus)

Hey Slaycaters -- please enjoy the Ghost Story Adam teased in our episode 'Cray Cray at Crater Lake'... This is a true story. It took place in January, 2000 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, CA while Adam was on set filming a movie he wrote for MTV. Believe us when we say, Adam is a skeptic. He makes shows about Science. The last thing he wants is to believe in ghosts! But since this actually happened and he saw what he saw (along with a witness) -- he has no choice but to leave the door to

Hey Slaycaters, this week we are headed to the Austrian Alps for a cold case that became a hot one once a body was found on the Stubby Glacier. Duncan MacPherson, a former professional hockey player from Canada, seemingly vanished on the slopes while snowboarding during a fateful vacation trip before staring a new coaching job in Scotland. But when his body was incredibly found buried in the thawing snow 14 years later — it opened up an entirely new investigation and pointed towards a crazy

Hey Slaycaters, welcome to another episode of Slaycation — this time taking place in the awe-inspiring Crater Lake National Park located in the Cascade Mountains of Southern Oregon. It’s a magical place where people go to connect with nature, hike, camp and feel a sense of spirituality that sometimes veers into the unexplained and paranormal. Well, something very unexplained and possibly even paranormal took place on October 14th, 2006 — when Kenneth Boehlke and his 8-year old son, Samuel

Bean There, Done That

OMG Slaycaters… We’ve got a doozy of a case today — definitely not for the faint-hearted. But also — one you’re gonna want to hear because this sh*t gets cray-cray. (Quoting Kim, here.) As always, the less you know the better — but let’s just say a fateful camping trip to Mt. Shasta goes horribly, murderously wrong for poor, sweet, trusting Lora Sinner who thought she was among friends… when in reality she was really among fiends. Trust us, you won’t forget this case any time soon. As always

Hey Slaycaters, meet Lela and Raymond Howard, a sweet elderly couple from Salado, Texas who, against the wishes of concerned family members, decide to drive themselves to a nearby festival, 15 miles away. They never made it — in part because Lela was driving in the complete opposite direction. n fact, a cop pulled them over for driving with their headlights off in Arkansas, about 500 miles away. Meanwhile, back home panicked friends and family were desperately searching for the missing couple. Did

I Left My Heart in Bali

Hey Slaycaters, get ready for another dose of WTF? — this time courtesy of the Indonesian authorities handling (or rather mishandling) of a mysterious death at a luxury villa in Bali. When 23-year old, Australian Byron Haddow was found floating face down in a plunge pool after a night out with friends — you’d think there would be a major investigation involving the police; including witness statements; cordoning off the crime scene and stripping everything down for evidence… Right? Nope,

Oof… This case. Too soon. Too sad. Too much WTF… And yet, here we are. There truly is no way to sugarcoat what happened to 9-year old Melina Frattolin, who was visiting her father, Luciano, the owner of a supposedly successful coffee business. But like most things in this case — there’s the truth and there’s the story that Luciano tells. And that story includes a tale of a white van pulling up to where Luciano and Melina were hanging out by the side of the road — and several kidnappers jumping

Hey Slaycaters (and music fans) we’re taking you back to 1973 and the Summer Jam concert in Watkins Glen, New York. The headliners were The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers and The Band and over 600,000 people showed up to the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway. Among the concert-goers were 16 year old Michael Weiser and 15 year old Bonnie Bickwit, two very smart and loving kids from Brooklyn, NY. Without a car, the pair decided to hitchhike to the show.

Hey Slaycaters, welcome to what might be the most insane case we’ve ever covered on this show. Which is really saying a lot. Not only does this case take place literally in our backyard of the East Village of New York City, at a time (late 80’s/early 90’s) when all three of us were in and around the area — but what actually transpired is beyond the scope of any nightmare you could imagine. The less you know the better — but let’s just say poor Monika Beerle, a 26-year old dancer from Switzerland

Hey Slaycaters, congratulations! You’ve just won the Jamaican lottery! All you need to do to receive your winnings is pay a small fee (to cover customs charges and shipping costs). Never mind that you never entered the Jamaican lottery — you won! Here is the untraceable way for you to send the fee… Now obviously you’re way too smart to ever fall for a scam like this — but believe it or not, hundreds of people do…including Heidi Muth, a teacher from California.

Hey Slaycaters, we’re back with another shocking, mysterious death in Mexico — this time, beloved actress Carol Wayne, most known for playing the ‘Matinee Lady’ in sketches with Johnny Carson. Without giving too much away, let’s just say a fight with her travel companion in Manzanillo, Mexico led to Carol storming off. The next time she was seen — she’d be on the news, not The Tonight Show. This case, from 1985, is chock full of suspicious circumstances and an investigation that ranges from
