episode 48: Murder of Cher Hughes and the kidnapping of Tanya Kach
Cher Hughes visited the island of Bocas del Toro, an island off Panama, and quickly decided to make the island her new home. She was peacefully living there for years when her neighbors noticed she was missing. While some thought she simply was on vacation, others began noticing a pattern.... Every few months an island resident would simply "go on vacation" never to be seen again, leaving behind all their possessions. Then we cover the story of Tanya Kach, a 13-year-old girl who was groomed by her middle school security guard. She voluntarily decided to move to his home at first, but after wanting to leave she was forced to stay against her will.
