66: Poisonings in Paradise: Vang Vieng, Laos
<div>In November 2024, what started as a fun night out in the party town of Vang Vieng turned into a horrifying nightmare.  Six tourists from around the world never woke up. Others barely escaped with their lives. <br> At first it seemed like a tragic accident, a case of tainted alcohol, poisoning unsuspecting travelers in the party town of Vang Vieng, Laos. But as the details emerged, the story took a darker turn. <br> Why were only tourists affected? Why did local authorities move so quickly to shut down the investigation? And could this have been something far more sinister than a simple mistake?<br> Was this mass poisoning the result of greed, negligence… or something more deliberate?<br> We’re diving into the chilling case of the Laos Methanol Poisonings - where a fun night out turned fatal, and the truth might still be buried.<br> <br> We're on YouTube with full video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheLastTripPodcast">https://www.youtube.com/@TheLastTripPodcast</a><br> <br> Follow us on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thelasttripcrimepod/">https://www.instagram.com/thelasttripcrimepod/<br> </a><br> And join our Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheLastTripPodcast">https://www.patreon.com/TheLastTripPodcast</a><br> <br> Listen to this week's podcast recommendation, Like Mother Like Murder<br> <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/like-mother-like-murder/id1632348616">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/like-mother-like-murder/id1632348616</a><br>  <br> Theme Music by Roger Allen Dexter<br> <br> Sources:<br> <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g612363-d13540456-Reviews-Nana_Backpacker_Hostel-Vang_Vieng_Vientiane_Province.html">https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g612363-d13540456-Reviews-Nana_Backpacker_Hostel-Vang_Vieng_Vientiane_Province.html</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/unanswered-questions-remain-about-laos-mass-methanol-poisoning/news-story/7e45d576a088ade129646206eb4bdf1f?utm_source=chatgpt.com">https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/unanswered-questions-remain-about-laos-mass-methanol-poisoning/news-story/7e45d576a088ade129646206eb4bdf1f?</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33149356/laos-poisoning-vodka-tourists-survivor/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/33149356/laos-poisoning-vodka-tourists-survivor/?utm_</a><br> <br> <a href="https://thethaiger.com/news/laos-govt-speaks-on-mass-methanol-poisoning-that-left-six-dead?utm_">https://thethaiger.com/news/laos-govt-speaks-on-mass-methanol-poisoning-that-left-six-dead?utm_</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-29/methanol-poisoning-broader-impact-south-east-asia/104652326?utm_">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-29/methanol-poisoning-broader-impact-south-east-asia/104652326?utm_</a><br> <br> <a href="https://people.com/methanol-poisoning-laos-american-tourist-identified-8752046">https://people.com/methanol-poisoning-laos-american-tourist-identified-8752046</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.bbcworldinfo.com/2024/11/the-rise-and-fall-of-vang-vieng-laos.html?utm_">https://www.bbcworldinfo.com/2024/11/the-rise-and-fall-of-vang-vieng-laos.html?utm_</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.9news.com.au/world/what-to-know-about-the-laos-backpacker-town-at-centre-of-suspected-methanol-poisonings/f771ed85-a03c-41e6-b030-e50f9ec4466c">https://www.9news.com.au/world/what-to-know-about-the-laos-backpacker-town-at-centre-of-suspected-methanol-poisonings/f771ed85-a03c-41e6-b030-e50f9ec4466c</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/simone-white-laos-alcohol-poisoning-b2651852.html">https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/simone-white-laos-alcohol-poisoning-b2651852.html</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.touristsecrets.com/trip-planning/safety-insurance/vang-vieng-tubing-deaths-and-dangers/">https://www.touristsecrets.com/trip-planning/safety-insurance/vang-vieng-tubing-deaths-and-dangers/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/nana-backpackers-hostel-laos-reportedly-being-deleted/">https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/nana-backpackers-hostel-laos-reportedly-being-deleted/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://scandasia.com/belgian-friend-to-danish-girls-that-died-in-laos-shares-his-story/">https://scandasia.com/belgian-friend-to-danish-girls-that-died-in-laos-shares-his-story/</a> </div>

62: Jason Cortez Update: An Interview with Candelario Cortez
<div>On March 20, 2024, we released Episode 19, which covered the tragic case of Jason Cortez. In that episode, I guided you through the timeline of events and shared the publicly available details from investigators.<br> In this episode, I’m joined by Jason’s father, Candelario Cortez, to delve deeper into Jason’s life, the challenges his family has endured since his heartbreaking murder, and any new developments in the case.<br> If you haven’t listened to Episode 19 yet, or need a refresher, I encourage you to revisit it before continuing.<br> Jason’s case began in September 2021, when he left his new wife in Virginia to travel to Los Angeles.

However, on September 10, everything took a devastating turn.<br> While visiting Ernest E. Debs Regional Park for a photo session, Jason and his friend were leaving the park when a single gunshot rang out. Jason collapsed to the ground. Despite his friend’s efforts to perform CPR, Jason’s life was tragically cut short.<br> This senseless act of random violence remains unresolved, and the shooter has yet to be identified.<br> <br> To learn more about Jason Cortez, please visit <a href="https://www.celebratingjasoncortez.com/">https://www.celebratingjasoncortez.com/</a><br> If you have ANY information, now is the time to come forward.<br> <br> We're on YouTube with full video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheLastTripPodcast">https://www.youtube.com/@TheLastTripPodcast</a><br> <br> Follow us on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thelasttripcrimepod/">https://www.instagram.com/thelasttripcrimepod/<br> </a><br> And join our Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheLastTripPodcast">https://www.patreon.com/TheLastTripPodcast</a><br>  <br> Theme Music by Roger Allen Dexter<br> <br> </div>
