In today’s episode, we dive into the heartbreaking and shocking case of Carla Stefaniac — a woman who loved travel, adventure, and celebrating her birthday. What should have been a dream trip to Costa Rica turned into a nightmare she never returned from.

Carla was careful. She stayed inside during a storm. She kept in touch with her family. She did everything right. Yet sometime during the night before her 36th birthday, she vanished.

Five days later, her body was found near her Airbnb. The security guard was arrested. The trial left her family devastated. And the world was left asking: How could this happen?

In this episode, we walk through:

Carla’s life and passion for travel
Her final night in Costa Rica
The search efforts led by her family and friends
The discovery of her body
The controversial trial and 16‑year sentence
Why her story matters — especially for women who travel

This is a case that deserves to be heard. This is a woman who deserves to be remembered.

🕯️ Rest in peace, Carla.
