Vacation Nightmares 2 | Atsumi Yoshikubo, Christe Chen, David & Michelle Paul
Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss Vacation Nightmares – Part Two. Japanese woman Atsumi Yoshikubo travelled alone to Yellowknife, Canada. She wanted to see the Northern Lights. Interestingly, Atsumi planned her trip for the off-season, when many of the tourist attractions were closed. In eerie final footage, Atsumi was spotted on CCTV purchasing souvenirs. Hotel staff raised the alarm when she never checked out of her room. Her belongings were neatly packed, but there was no sign of Atsumi. Her remains were eventually found on a hiking trail – did Atsumi take her own life? Or was foul play involved? Christe Chen married Bradley Dawson in February 2022 after a whirlwind romance – they planned their wedding in under a month. The couple had been married for 5 months when they travelled from the US to Fiji for their honeymoon. They were staying at the exclusive Turtle Island Resort, where villas cost over $3,000 per night. The couple only enjoyed two days in paradise before Bradley was found drunk and injured on a neighboring island. When staff entered the couple’s villa, Christe was found, beaten to death and surrounded by blood. Her husband Bradley has been arrested and is currently in custody in Fiji. Americans David and Michelle Paul tried to take a child-free vacation once a year, to get some much-needed couple time together. They traveled to Fiji and also only had a few days to enjoy paradise. Both David and Michelle became very sick, very quickly. They were treated by medical staff on the island, but both passed away within days of each other. Causes of death for the couple have never been made public – were they poisoned? In this episode, we also discuss updates to the case of Christina Lee Powell. Christina was missing for three weeks before her body was found in the passenger seat of her vehicle in a mall parking lot in San Antonio, TX.

Missing | Dylan Rounds & Chrissy Lee Powell
Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the cases of two missing people – Dylan Rounds and Christina Lee Powell. 19 year-old farmer Dylan Rounds was last heard from in May 2022. He told his grandmother he was going to move a grain truck out of the rain on his Utah farm. The truck was moved and Dylan has not been heard from again. There are a lot of players and strange occurrences in Dylan’s case. Just days before he vanished, he had an encounter with a man named Chase Venstra. Chase was barefoot in the desert and acting erratically. He asked Dylan for a ride and media reports say that Dylan refused. Chase has since been arrested on other charges. Is he responsible for Dylan’s disappearance? Or does Dylan’s neighbour, James Brenner know where Dylan is? Christina Lee Powell called her workplace on July 5 to say that she was running late for work. Eerie final footage of her was captured on her Ring doorbell – she was carrying her handbag and seemed to be rushing to get out the door. Christina never made it to work. She remained missing for over three weeks. Just before this episode was released, Christina was found deceased in the passenger seat of her vehicle in a restaurant parking lot in San Antonio, Texas. Had her vehicle been there for the whole time she was missing? How did nobody notice her?

Cults | Teal Swan & The Story of Baby Holly (TW: Suicide)
Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we delve again into the fascinating world of cults and followers. TW for this episode – suicide discussion. Have you heard of Teal Swan? Teal claims she is part-human, part extra-terrestrial. She has also said that she can hear tectonic plates moving and can inject herself into people’s brainstems. Teal’s followers are known as ‘Tealers’. Teal routinely gives out advice to suicidal people (she has no medical or psychiatric qualifications). Several of Teal’s followers have taken their own lives after reaching out to her and her team. Is what Teal Swan is doing dangerous or does she have other’s best interests at heart? We also discuss the crazy case of Baby Holly. Tina and Harold Clouse were found murdered in Texas in 1981, but their remains were not identified until 2021. The couple had a baby before their deaths and their extended family prayed for over 40 years for answers about what had happened to the family. In 2022, ‘Baby Holly’ was found alive and well – she had been legally adopted and was unaware of the story of her biological family. It is believed that Tina and Harold were likely killed because of their involvement in a cult called ‘Christ’s Family’. Members of this cult wore diapers on their heads as turbans and men and women were separated from each other.

Vacation Nightmares | The Korkki Sisters, Kristy Manzanares, Carla Valpeoz & David Sneddon
We hope that everyone (in the Northern Hemisphere!) is enjoying their summer vacation. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss Vacation Nightmares. Things often go wrong following a combination of sun, alcohol and foreign countries. American sisters Anne and Robin Korkki were on the trip of a lifetime. They were staying at an exclusive resort in Seychelles, when the hotel butler became concerned that he hadn’t seem them for a period of time. He entered their room and found both sisters in bed, deceased. Kristy Manzanares and her husband Kenneth boarded a cruise ship to Alaska with their three daughters in 2017. They were travelling with extended family. Just two days into their vacation, it all went wrong. Other guests recalled hearing a woman ‘screaming for her life’. Kristy was found dead in her cabin and Kenneth was arrested for her murder. Carla Valpeoz is an American woman who has been missing in Peru since 2018. Carla was brave – she was legally blind and wanted to see the world before her eyesight totally failed. There is eerie final footage of Carla, walking with her cane. She has never been seen again. David Sneddon was an American man, visiting China in 2004. He vanished without a trace and many people suspected that he had an accident while hiking. More information has come to light recently that suggests David may have been kidnapped by North Korean officials and that he has been forced to work for the Kim regime there.

Moms Who Murder II
A 2014 study found that around 500 times per year in the US, a parent kills their child/children. A mother kills her child on average, every three days. Why? There is never an easy answer - financial problems, single parenthood, multiple children, substance abuse and mental illness can all contribute to filicide. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss five recent cases where a mother has killed her child or children. Please note that this episode does contain some graphic details – listener and viewer discretion is advised. Julissa Hart was pulled over by police in Minnesota in May 2022. She was covered in blood, which she tried to explain as menstrual blood. Police searched her vehicle and found her son Eli, deceased in the trunk. Julissa allegedly shot Eli while he was strapped into his car seat. Angela Flores’ neighbors called 911 after they found her rambling incoherently in their yard. Just hours later, a 911 call was made from her home. Angela had allegedly murdered her three children on Mother’s Day this year. Makaylia Jolley is a young mother aged 20 with two young babies. In May 2022, multiple 911 calls were made after she was seen throwing her infant daughter onto the road. The baby died and the death penalty is being sought in this case. Trinh Nguyen was found almost unresponsive in her car. A note was found on the dash: “Please call 911 My children are Dead in their bed at 119 Timber Ridge Rd.’ Trinh’s two sons were shot in the head by their mother and they both passed away days later in hospital. In September 2021, Fallon Harris asked her 12 y/o son Kaden where had he put her SD card. He was unable to give it back to his mother, so she shot him twice, killing him.

Love Triangles Gone Wrong | Kaitlin Armstrong, Moriah Wilson, & Colin Strickland
Anna Moriah Wilson (known as Mo) was considered to be one of the best competitive cyclists in the US, if not the world. She had the world at her feet. She was young and successful. She had recently quit her job and was going to focus on gravel racing full time. Everyone who knew her said that she was kind, ambitious and compassionate. Mo traveled to Austin on May 10, 2022. She was planning to compete in a race the following weekend. On May 11, she met up with Colin Strickland, another well-known cyclist. The couple were involved in a brief relationship a few months prior to May 2022. They spent a few hours together, swimming and going to a restaurant, before Colin dropped Mo back to the residence where she was staying. As Mo walked in the door, she was ambushed and shot multiple times. Mo died on the scene from her injuries. The killer fled from the scene on Mo’s bicycle. This was no random attack. The alleged killer is Kaitlin Armstrong, Colin Strickland’s long-term partner. Kaitlin is now on the run from authorities and is wanted for murder. She was last seen at Newark Airport on May 18. Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast where we discuss two different love triangle murders – the death of Mo Wilson and the horrific murder of Jonathan Amerault.
