On Halloween night in 2004, the quiet town of Napa, California was shaken by something far darker than tricks or treats. Inside a small home on Dorset Street, two young women were brutally murdered. Their roommate, escaped into the night. What began as an ordinary evening turned into one of the most haunting crimes the town had ever seen.

At first, police were baffled. There were no signs of forced entry, no clear motive, and no sense of who could have committed such a personal and violent act. But as days passed and evidence surfaced, it became clear the killer wasn’t a stranger in the dark—he was someone much closer to home.

In this episode, we revisit the Napa Valley Halloween Murders, exploring the fear, betrayal, and chilling discovery that turned a night of celebration into a nightmare.

In April 2014, two Dutch students, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, arrived in the mountain town of Boquete, Panama, full of excitement and curiosity. They were adventurous, optimistic, and eager to explore the beauty of Central America. On April 1st, they set out for what was supposed to be a short afternoon hike on the Pianista Trail. Hours later, their host family’s dog returned home alone. Kris and Lisanne never did.

What followed was one of the most chilling mysteries in modern true crime, a trail of eerie photographs, desperate emergency calls that never connected, and personal belongings discovered deep in the jungle weeks later.

How did two experienced young women vanish so completely on a well-traveled path? And what really happened in those final hours high in the Panamanian rainforest?

Join me as we trace their steps, examine the evidence, and explore the countless theories—ranging from tragic accident to something far more sinister—surrounding the disappearance of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon.

Happy Halloween listeners!

After recently taking a little trip upstate to Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow I thought no better time to discuss the infamous legend of the Headless Horseman and how it came to be. Strap in because you are in for some history, a spooky tale and the origins of the frightening spirit the Irish call the Dullahan.
