In 1989, Sandra Valentine was a successful 30 year old woman living in New York, when she decided to travel the world for a year.
But 8 months into her trip, on March 28th, she mysteriously vanished in Sri Lanka. These were the days before cell phone tracking and cameras on every corner, so there were no clues left behind, until months later when her diary was found giving her family insight into her last days.

Listen as we dive into Sri Lanka, the case of Sandra Valentine, and how to stay alive on vacation.
