    EP 62 - This is Not the Way to Holiday Inn Georgia
    Feb 24 2025
    Hey Slaycaters, today’s case is a mystery from 1980 that went on to haunt a serene, seaside, Georgia town for decades. Driving back to New York from their annual winter holiday in Miami, Charles and Catherine Romer stopped off in one of their favorite roadside hotels — the Holiday Inn, in Brunswick, Georgia. But while they checked in — they never checked out. The couple, in their mid-to-late 70’s disappeared along with their custom, 1979 Lincoln Continental. We won’t give away what happened — but if was a happy ending, it wouldn’t be on our show. But as is so often the case — when tragedy strikes, it also brings out the best in people. Through a combination of sheer tenacity and obsession this case was eventually brought to a resolution. As always, thanks for listening and please stay safe out there! MORE KIM!

Humour and true crime

Awesome combination of humour and true crime. Well researched cases. Not the same cases that always appear in other true crime shows
