We're all drawn to the same things for different reasons. Nineteen-year-old “Serge” craved the freedom and exploration that travel offered. In 2008, he jumped at the chance to join a friend on an illegal train-hopping adventure to Florida. From that moment on, he was hooked. But his carefree nomadic lifestyle soon led him to cross paths with a coarse train hopping veteran known only as,  "Dirty Mike." Serge and his adventurous friends quickly discovered that Dirty Mike was on a journey of his own—one fueled by much darker and disturbing motives…

Special thanks to Serge Z. for taking the time to talk to us and share his story about his experiences traveling the country.  Written by Trevor Pason, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.

Belly of the Beast

On December 7th, 2016, 22-year-old Jessica Seger had plans to visit her sister, 25-year-old Amanda Suarez, at her home in Okeechobee, Florida.  When Jessica arrived at the home, she noticed something strange: the door was open.  And what lay inside proved to be horrific, as her sister's body was set on the floor, posed and covered in blood.  Along with the body was Amanda’s hysterical 2-year-old child.  Jessica grabbed her nephew and ran up the block to call the police.  In the ensuing investigation and interviews with family and friends, investigators compiled a small list of potential suspects.  But it was only after the discovery of a single piece of evidence left behind by Amanda herself, that detectives were able to narrow it down to one prime suspect.  What followed was a tale of extreme depravity of the worst kind…

In a Fog

In the early hours of July 23rd, 2013, Amy Lord was heading out of her apartment for a morning gym session with a friend. At the same time, just a few blocks away, a woman had been brutally attacked, and the assailant was now prowling the streets in search of his next target. When he spotted Amy, the events that followed would send shockwaves through South Boston…

Guardian Angel

On October 25th, 2018, staff at the California Men’s Colony Prison in San Luis Obispo noticed their beloved co-worker 64-year-old Athena Valentiny had not arrived at work.  This absence prompted a wellness check, as was their standard procedure.  But it was when two security guards tasked with checking up on Athena noticed her car was still parked in front of her home that they began to worry.  To make matters worse, they noticed what appeared to be blood on her window shades.  With Athena’s well being put into question, Grover Beach Police were dispatched and, to their horror, they found Athena viciously stabbed to death in her bedroom.  As for who was responsible, there was a laundry list of potential suspects.  But after some digging, investigators narrowed it down to one person, and with this discovery was a story, and a road trip, almost too far-fetched to be real.
