The Last Trip

140: Mary Frances Gregory: Las Vegas, Nevada

In February of 1978, nineteen-year-old Mary Frances Gregory left Ontario for what was supposed to be a road trip to California. But she never made it.The man traveling with her later said they crossed the United States together before he left Mary at a bus station in Las Vegas. But there’s a problem. Almost everything we know about Mary’s final days comes from him. No confirmed bus ticket. No verified sighting in Las Vegas. No arrival in California. And nearly fifty years later, we still don’t know where along that journey Mary actually disappeared.Listen as we dive into rural 1978 Las Vegas, the case of Mary Frances Gregory, and how to stay alive on vacation.Do you have a story to share?

139: Graham Norris Horne: Bracey, Virginia

Graham Norris Horne was 21 years old when he disappeared in rural Virginia. On August 15, 2024, Graham was traveling with a faith-based group when they stopped for gas at a truck stop in Bracey.  According to investigators, there was some kind of disagreement. Graham walked away. He didn’t have a phone. He didn’t know the area. And he had no known ties to the community.But what happened next would turn a missing-person case into something far more disturbing. Weeks later, workers at a church about six miles away noticed a terrible smell coming from an old well. At the bottom, they found Graham.Investigators would eventually treat his death as a homicide. But questions remain about what happened after Graham left that truck stop—and how he ended up at the bottom of a well outside a church. Was Graham’s death a tragic accident? Did he encounter someone after walking away? And what, if anything, did the people he had been traveling with know about his disappearance?Listen as we dive into rural Virginia, the case of Graham Norris Horne and how to stay alive on vacation.Do you have a story to share?

137: Aleksis Nikitin: Tioman Island, Malaysia

In January of 2019, 20-year-old Finnish backpacker, Aleksis Nikitin traveled alone to Tioman Island—a remote tropical paradise off the coast of Malaysia. Only days after arriving, he was reportedly planning to hike through the rainforest to a secluded waterfall. But sometime that day, Aleksis disappeared. Back at the home where he was staying, his belongings were left behind—including his passport and wallet. There was no sign that he had packed up, no indication that he planned to leave the island, and no explanation for where he had gone. Search teams combed the jungle. Dogs reportedly picked up his scent along a trail.  But then…the trail went cold.Listen as we dive into Tioman Island, the case of Aleksis Nikitin, and how to stay alive on vacation.Do you have a story to share?
