    A Hiking Not to Our Liking
    Jun 16 2025
    OK Slaycaters, picture this — a seasoned solo traveler, a beautiful hiking trail in Central Japan, and a chance to check another spiritual journey off a personal bucket list. What could go wrong? Well, if you’re a fan of our show you know we turn ‘going wrong’ into an art form. Pattie Wu-Murad, an experienced traveler and avid hiker from Connecticut headed to Japan to hike the well-known Kumano Kodo Trail. To say things didn’t go according to plan would be a huge understatement. A simple hike became a multi-national venture as search and rescue teams from around the world would join the U.S. Embassy and the FBI in a massive effort to ‘Help Find Pattie.’ We won’t give away the ending — except to say there is an ending. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there.

  • Sneak Peek: Dakota Spotlight

    Sneak Peek: Dakota Spotlight
    Jun 11 2025
    Today we have a special treat for our Slaycaters: A sneak peek of one of our favorite true crime shows, Dakota Spotlight. Host James Wolner spends this season investigating a frustrating cold case - and ends up with new leads and a shift from the Attorney General's office. It's beautifully produced and deeply investigated - we think you'll love it! 15-year-old Barbara Louise Cotton vanished from the streets of Williston, North Dakota, on April 11, 1981, five blocks from her home. What happened to Barbara Cotton? In episode 1, while others called Barbara a 'runaway', a frustrated yet unyielding Sandee Evanson refuses to stop looking for her childhood friend. A Better Search for Barbara is a deep, investigative dive into one of North Dakota's longest running cold cases.

    Jun 9 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, get ready for a Slaycation that's part psychological thriller and part international cover-up with a side of WTF! This week we’re diving into the mysterious case of Magdalena Żuk, a 27-year-old woman who traveled alone to Egypt and... wound up on our show. Did Magdalena suffer a sudden mental health crisis, or was something far more sinister at play? As always, we’ll let you decide—but prepare to yell at your speaker at least five times. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us, and please stay safe out there!
