What Could Go Wrong in North Korea? (Part 1)

from Slaycation: True Crimes, Murders, and Twisted Vacations · host Kim Davis, Adam "Tex" Davis, Jerry Kolber; True Crime Podcast

Hey Slaycaters, normally we take you to a beautiful island, popular tourist destination or even on a cruise… and then something tragically bad happens.  This episode is different.  Today we’re taking you to the DPRK, aka The Hermit Kingdom, aka North Korea. Not known for being a popular tourist destination because, let’s face it, you’re not really allowed to go. However, that only made it more intriguing to young 22-year old Otto Wambier, who had a penchant for visiting global hotspots. By all accounts, his highly curated trip was going great — until it was time for his Young Pioneers Tour Group to board the plane home. That's when the nightmare began. You may have heard of this story — but the devil is in the details (and the storytelling.) So strap in as we take you to one of the strangest places in the world for one of the strangest Slaycations we’ve been on.  As always, thanks for listening and stay safe out there!  MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim’ bonus episodes.  SUBSCRIBE to SLAYCATION PLUS right in Apple Podcasts, or on our website: https://plus.slaycation.wtf/supporters/pricing SLAYCATERS ONLY:  Interact with the Hosts and get behind the scenes info, photos and more in our FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/394778366758281 MERCH!  Top quality ‘Pack Your Body Bags" tote bags, as well as Slaycation T-shirts, towels, sandals, fanny packs, stickers and more available at:  https://plus.slaycation.wtf/collections/all MORE INFO:  to learn more about Slaycation, the Hosts go to: www.slaycation.wtf EMAIL:  [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
