I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, monsters lurking under your bed or deep in the forest, that unknown creature lurking just out of sight and frighteningly imagined creatures, ghosts, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma.... And on today’s Dark enigma I’m back in my jam so we’re looking at something … tropical. So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. The choice of libation is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say murder that will be a single shot and every time I say Paradise, that will be a double shot. Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… Alright, everyone start singing that song Just Like Paradise by David Lee Roth… that’s right I’m bringing it back to the 80’s hairbands with today’s tidbit as we dive into Sex Mayhem and Murder in the Deadly Paradise of the Galapagos Islands The Galapagos Islands are one of the natural wonders of our planet. Isolated for millions of years, they are so populated by such a vast number of unique, endemic species that their name has become synonymous with places where evolution has progressed in geographic solitude. Indeed, it was here among these scattered remote islands where Charles Darwin made his observations and notes that would lead him to conceive of his theory of evolution. Considering this image of remote, untouched natural beauty and wonder that most people may have of them, the Galapagos Islands are probably the last place where one would expect to find human settlements, yet the islands have attracted permanent human populations since the 1800s. Unfortunately, wherever mankind goes so does the evil of which we are capable and these tranquil tropical islands would become the scene of a scandalous murder mystery that to this day remains unsolved.The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands spread out along the Equator around 906 km (563 mi) west of Ecuador. The islands are most famous for their incredible diversity of both marine and terrestrial life, including the well-known Galapagos giant tortoise and the marine iguana and my absolute favorites the Blue and Red footed boobies.
