Episode 96: The Thai Backpack Murders | Murder Island

On the surface the island of Koh Tao was heaven on earth for travelers looking to escape the world, to party all night, and sleep all day on white sand beaches. A lawless paradise, such a far cry from the policed western world. But the underbelly of that paradise was a far cry from the excited stories the back packers had to tell. On the island there existed corruption, racism, disorder, and, starting in 2014, a string of very complicated murders that just did not seem to make sense. Their exposures would muddy the reputation of the island. In the case we have for you today there exists the death of two backpackers, other complicated deaths on the island, a police force under fire, a local mafia exposed, and families trying to seek justice in a place that was sought after for turning their cheek to it.
