Season 1 · Episode 56

lundi 13 janvier 2025Duration 01:05:23

Hey Slaycaters, get ready for a real head-scratcher as we delve into the mysterious disappearance of 18-year old August Reiger who went missing in the Ecuadorian resort town of Banos while on vacation with his family. August, a free-spirited, artsy kid was drawn to the spirituality of the region and was excited that he and his family would get to experience it. But while out on a relatively simple hiking trail that looped up and around a small mountain peak... August ran ahead of his family and then... vanished. Authorities initially treated the case as a kidnapping, but there was never a ransom request. Words like 'trafficking' were thrown about while others described seeing August in the back of a pickup truck headed towards the Amazon region. But while the nearby Colombian border has had an issue with Americans being kidnapped -- this area was considered relatively safe. So, what happened to this young man right before he was about to attend college at Oklahoma State? Not only did this case gain international attention, then Ecuadorian President, Rafael Correa pledged to make it a priority of his administration. Join the Throuple of Kim, Adam & Jerry as they piece together the clues and events of that fateful day on the mountain trail.   SUBSCRIBE to SLAYCATION PLUS(+) For AD FREE listening & "MORE KIM!'

A Whole Lot of Bull in Madrid

Season 1 · Episode 55

lundi 6 janvier 2025Duration 01:21:11

Hey Slaycaters, we had our end of the year fun -- now it's time to get back to business, and we're starting off the year with a Slaycation that is one of the most twisty, bizarre cases we've ever covered. The less you know going in the better -- but let's just say when Ana Knezevich Henao relocated to Madrid, Spain after a bitter divorce from her ex-husband David, she thought she would be starting her life anew. Instead, she would wind up missing. But while her whereabouts were unknown, her ex-husband's whereabouts around that time were very known -- he had flown to Serbia and driven across Europe to Spain! But that's just the beginning of a twisted tale that has to be heard to be believed. And since this one is still on-going, you might be hearing more about this in the days & weeks to come!

Unfortunately, it became her final destination when she was found dead on a beach. While her death was initially ruled a suicide, those who knew her said there was no way. And her actions on her last day would also suggest she had no plans to end her life. As the Slaycation throuple dives into the case all kinds of shady details come to light including the possibility of a mistaken identity and government coverup. This is by far one of our strangest and most intriguing Slaycations yet.  Want More Kim? SUBSCRIBE to SLAYCATION PLUS(+) For AD FREE listening & "MORE KIM", a no-holds barred, weekly bonus segment where Kim goes off on whatever is on her mind!

Christmas Crossover with The Housewives of True Crime!

Season 1 · Episode 51

lundi 9 décembre 2024Duration 57:00

Hey Slaycation fans, we have a special treat for today's episode -- Gretchen & Tabitha from The Housewives of True Crime join 'More' Kim for a Holiday Slayover! Together, this newly formed throuple tackles the case of Dr. Ben Brown, a plastic surgeon, and the death of his wife Hillary Brown... from liposuction... performed by her husband! While it's more of a Staycation than a Slaycation, this bizarre case is filled with lots of twists and turns as well as plenty of character defects (ego, narcissism, hubris, vanity) for the ladies to dig into. Also, was it an accident, murder or just gross negligence? And whose idea was it for the already beautiful, 33-year old Hillary to undergo liposuction? Yep, there's a lot for these three housewives to talk about. Enjoy this special Holiday treat -- and don't worry, the boys will be back in town next week!

Today's case takes us to Hallstatt, Austria, a beautiful touristy hamlet surrounded by mountains and lakes -- the perfect place to go hiking, swimming and Slaycating. In the summer of 2016, 72-year old Sister Eileen Christie, a beloved nun from Long Island, arrived for her annual pilgrimage full of energy and excitement. But when Sister Eileen didn't show up at the third hostel on her itinerary, and stopped all communication with her nephew back home, it was clear something was wrong. A major search was launched and a suspect emerged. But despite the best efforts of local law enforcement, including a private detective hired by the Sisters of Saint Joseph, Eileen's Order back in Long Island, the intrigue only deepened. Find out the details on one of our most baffling Slaycation mysteries. BONUS SLAY-VESTIGATION Before we even get into the case of Sister Eileen, Kim & Jerry bring to light a recent Slaycation Mystery that is active & on-going and in need of the Slaycation Nation's help!
