29-year-old Claudia Kirschhoch finds herself on an unexpected trip to a settlement in Jamaica, following a cancelled flight. After a few days of exploring and socialising, she takes a walk on the beach, only to suddenly vanish, never to be heard from again. Her case remains unsolved.

Even after the police dog did, like, 95% of the detective work in this case, they still ignored it. Unforgivable.
This is just my opinion, but there are a lot of coincidences that are connected to the hotel. The room cleaned & prepared to be rented out before any evidence or clues could be searched for. It was a potential crime scene & should of been processed as one. The security tapes were already taped over, the bartender calling in sick consecutively for 4 days after her disappearance, etc. I can't believe they would actually say in the local media that she was an adventure seeker & most likely responsible for her own disappearance. It's irresponsible & just down right cold for any media outlet to say that within an article under these circumstances.☘

Evie Hammond Yep incredibly suspicious!! If they couldn’t cope with investigation? Why not get help?? She was a US citizen???cleaned room ect? Bartender??? Guilty!!!
So true
Tourist organizations and resorts, and colleges and universities for that matter, make attempts to cover up violence that is associated with them because it is bad for business. They depend on good publicity and return customers. If word got out their places were unsafe their business would fall off and cost them money.
Definitely the bartender ....and continued cover up by the hotel / resort. How awful.
When this video calls Negril a "paradise", they neglect to mention all the poverty and crime on the island. Jamaica is only "paradise" for naive and gullible tourists. There are as many suspects in this case as there are desperately poor Jamaicans. Like in a dozen other murders that I've seen happen in tourist locations, the locals here did everything that they could to cover up the crime to protect the image and money making potential of the place. Putting the blame on the victim (or a travelling companion) as they did here is a common tactic in such cases so that the crime can be blamed on an outsider instead of "friendly" local person. ... jkulik919@gmail.com
Ya he knew her hotel room too
@Zebra Lady75 yeah let's blame the victim. That'll help.
The Jamaica Tourist Board doesn't like bad press so I wouldn't be surprised if this case was buried to avoid such.
@@decimusmaximus2486 sweetie hi.... sometime victim is not always victim... people must try make friends.. with the ones called SENSE and REASON!.... she should have left with her friend.......but she found something out there that sweet her.... so she decided to stay!.....
i feel for her parents!!!... not knowing where your baby is.... is worse than knowing they are dead!!.... be blessed
My stepbrother and his wife honeymooned on Jamaica and made the mistake of leaving the safety of the resort. They were lucky to be only robbed...Jamaica is not safe.
Nope...even the Bahamas...the cruise captin even said..dont venture to far in...
There's nothing wrong with Jamaica. Some tourists are just gullible so they get tricked easily. Danger is everywhere in the world. Many persons have vacationed in Jamaica and other countries without incident. People just need to be wise and not be too trusting.
Excuse me but No where is safe💯 This could've happened anywhere else just the same.
@@kerkersgroove true. For a journalist she was extremely trusting...
@@kerkersgroove Jamaica still has long running political conflict between jlp and pnp and it does occasionally result in violence, and they do have issues with gang warfare. Not unique to jamiaca but she wasn't initially planning to stay in Jamaica its possible she didn't know how dangerous some areas can be
I didn’t find anything paradise like about Negril. I went there in my early 20’s and never felt safe, I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially other young women.
What happened?
Jamaica is not safe for tourists outside of the all-inclusive resorts; same goes for Mexico.
@@pulaski1 And yet people keep going to both ... I don't get it.
@One oftheabove I've traveled the world alone. Some places I would not go. But saying the world is not a playground for women just instills needless fear.
Do not go to jerusalem if youre not a traditionnal jew. You will get spit on yelled at and thronw rocks at...
Obviously a cover up by the hotel and possibly the authorities too. The tourist industry makes a lot of money.
That always happens in them place it’s full of foul fuckers
"I listened to a brief description of a complex case" and immediately know the answer! Hey, can you help me figure out where my keys are, since you can figure out anything without having any real information! Seriously, see Dunning Kruger.
Princeofcups Poc How do you know people don’t look into cases further? Or does the strawman fit your narrative better.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 “without having any real information” you mean without having all the information? Because there was some pretty real and convincing information about the bartender having means motive and opportunity. Sure, we can’t lean on TH-cam vids alone to convict but to say that any info given isn’t “real” or even viable is just not true.
Jamaica is not a safe place: there have been a lot of tourist murders. Even my work colleagues with relatives there say the same.
This was obviously a cover-up! How the hell was that guy not charged??? All that evidence, along with evidence of a cover-up. My daughter is going nowhere near that corrupt island.
I'm Jamaican and I feel terrible about what happened to this young lady, and I'm almost certain that the bartender knew something about her disappearance, infact he may even be the one, there's so much pointing to him ... I hope her family finds peace and she's at a better place 🙏😭💔❤️
💯the bartender. There is so much pointing at him. Wonder how much it cost for him to be cleared???
He seems like a terrible guy: he forced her to go skinny-dipping and get stoned.
Let's hunt his ass down... BATTY bartender 🍺🍻
She was a February born ALSO 😭😭😭😥😢
I went to Jamaica in the early 90’s. And although it was much safer because sadly the island is suffering extreme poverty now there were places that I would have never went even back then and I was told by Jamaicans that it wasn’t safe alone. It never stops amazing me how women from western countries think they are safe everywhere, I taught my daughter that it’s not safe anywhere. I hope her family finds some answers and gets some peace.
You're a good mom for being honest with her.
@@maldenom An amazing mom. Thanks for warning your daughter. I know Mexico is dangerous outside the resorts and Chile is dangerous outside the capital. I had a feeling Jamaica was a dangerous place but hearing about the violence twists my stomach. I have a feeling the bartender played a role in her disappearance and probable death.
You are so right. I recall being in Bermuda, and our cab driver/tour guide that day (who was a Bermudian himself), noticed me wandering off a little bit, (from where he, my husband, son, and friends were) and walking toward a couple of young local men (they were still at a distance, mind you), and the cab driver called out to me, told me to get back to where they were immediately. His name was Jay; he was so kind and protective of us. It's not only in Jamaica that we must be careful, it's wherever we travel to. Even in Cuba, I remember we were warned not to go too far in.
Given the number of "coincidences" related to the crime scene at the hotel, and the scent and trace evidence at the bar tender's home and in his car, I would consider this case to be "unprosecuted" not "unsolved".
I agree
Agreed!
I have been to this resort! Very disturbing story! Travelers must be very cautious! I was there only a few years after this and had no idea this had happened! I will say that when my husband and I attempted to walk down the beach leaving the resort property we were required to sign out and upon return sign back into the property. This protocol may have come from Claudia's disappearance.
Thank you for having me on your channel! 😄
My pleasure!
Daughter of Remus 💜
The bartender got away with the crime....poor girl! Don't trust strangers!
Have you checked other vacation DISAPPEARANCES? Always AFTER getting chummy with bartenders.
People with no morals take advantage of foreigners. They earn their trust quickly in a foreign place and take advantage of them.
Calvin Zhang True. But the traveler needs to have some morals too.
It was most definitely him!
@@cadaverdog1424 The victim-blaming mentality can be incorporated into public policies, but it's most detrimental to blacks, not whites. In one of his speeches, Martin Luther King declared that blacks' love for our enemies should be primarily impersonal and "spiritual" in nature, as opposed to emotional or erotic. I'm a black female but my dad is white, and like most females I'm primarily attracted to guys like my dad. By the redneck standards of morality which Dr. King popularized, I have NO chance. Zip. This policy is inimical to my primal innocence, right off the bat. This insidious evil bled over into the ubiquitous gang-rapes of South Africa's black children after Mandela adopted King's strategem. So I'm disinclined to blame these victims of any race UNLESS they cast the first stone, such as Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle...
The missing items, erasures, missed forensic opportunities might have been carelessness but considering how often missing or murdered tourists in countries that depend greatly on tourism are portrayed in an unflattering and incorrect by media and authorities in those countries, one can see that "careless" losses of evidence might just be policy. So sad.
teslagirl1. Seriously love you're name! I love Tesla 😊😉😊💜💜💜
Good point,
Some of those so called “paradise “ can be very dangerous. Some unsavory people and police who really don’t want to do much about crime. People can disappear and never be found
Things like this just don't happen in foreign countries.
In 1980 I took a trip to Hawaii. After we got off the plane we were given an orientation. We were cautioned to be aware of our surroundings. We were told that the local criminals liked to prey upon tourists because if they were ever caught the chances of the tourist coming back all of the way to Hawaii to testify against them was very unlikely, and consequently they would get off.
I lived in New Orleans for a while, and it was not uncommon for tourists visiting the French Quarters to get lost and wander into a rough part of town, where they would be attacked and robbed. The city did its best to cover it up or down play the crimes because it was bad for the city's tourist industry.
Unsavory people such as the resort destroying evidence to keep tourists coming.
How frustrating. Add Jamaica to the list of places I would never go.
Jamaica is a actually as nice country.
@@janiqueriley6306 huh?
It is important to know that Jamaica facilitates over a million visitors a year and since independence in 1962, only 4 foreigners have died, including Bob Wolmer. You are safer in Jamaica than in your own homeland.
And what, exactly, is the name of this hotel, which contaminated its own crime scene and concealed evidence . . . so that I can *refuse* to give them my money?
"The Kirschhochs said they believed that employees of the resort -- Beaches Negril, part of a 15-hotel chain run by Sandals..." (excerpt from NYTimes article)
I totally agree, that resort should be smeared and have it's reputation hindered!!! It can happen if everybody who knew about her disappearance would reconsider their bookings and not stay in that shithole. It would be only a matter of time that they would eventually be forced to close that shithole hotel!!! No hotel guests = no money!!
Someone broke into a roof at the hotel I work at and I told my staff(Room attendants) not to go in to contaminate anything but front desk and maintenance did not think of that and walked in touching everything lol the officer was not pleased. I figured maintenance and front desk would know about that but I guess I should have suggested that to them as well lol
Gamer Glam always tell the front desk, so they can inform the rest of the employees. We used to put rooms off limits all the time, especially if there had been a crime or death. If you’ve worked in the industry, you know how people tend to die in hotel rooms. Glad I only did it for a while when I was younger.
LADIES LADIES...... STOP BEING SO FRIENDLY WITH THESE FRIGGIN BARTENDERS! SO MANY OF THESE VACATION DISAPPEARANCES THEY HAPPENED SOON AFTER GETTING CHUMMY WITH BARTENDERS! THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER ROSEMONT HOTEL. SHADY AF. SHAME ON THE OWNER OF THIS HOTEL.. MAYBE HE'S NOT SUCH A GREAT GUY AFTER ALL.
WHY ARE YOU YELLING
@@bushlovesska to get her point across...
Well I consider the bartender a suspect. WTF!
Really! How much evidence does it take to consider someone a suspect dogs found her scent everywhere around that bartender. The 4 days he missed work after her disappearance he sure was busy, didn't even do a good job of covering his tracks
@@davidb8397 right? Video: scent found back seat, truck house knife, boots... police do not consider him a suspect" I had to replay that part to make sure I heard it correctly.
Sarcasm: Nah, he's not guilty. It was normal to only find her scent in those places. Because I always ride in the back seat and trunk of my date's car, like baggage, instead of a perfectly fine and alive human being... Excellent police deducing.
David B Her scent was everywhere around him because she was around him. She picked up a guy she knew nothing about, stupidly and unwisely got stoned and skinny-dipped. Why would her ‘scent’ not be all around him??
This was a really interesting collaboration from two of my favorite TH-camrs. It was wonderful to see you working together. Several things just made me so angry! Why did the resort clear out her room? It seems very suspicious to me that they would develop the film on her camera. Why would the resort do that? That seems more like something the police would do. It is my feeling that they should have turned everything over to the Jamaican police. It's also suspect to me that so many things pertaining to Claudia either disappeared or were said to have no evidential promise. It always baffles me when any Police Department closes a case without an answer! This was such a well-done video and I would love to see you too collaborate again. PS - I live in New Jersey, right across the Hudson River from NYC and you pronounce everything perfectly😊❤
Thank you so much, Kelly!
@@DarkCuriosities 😊❤❤ Thank you for all your hard work and the high standards you always present on you channels.
It wouldn't seem like a paradise for me, but I prefer cooler climates. That Anthony Grant knows what happened.
First mistake, being a foreigner and going to the bar to drink and get high with a stranger. So sad for the family. Sometimes we dont think about how our actions will affect our families for the rest of their lives.
Sounds like the hotel staff, at least, were complicit in this case. Poor girl.😕😞
I'd really like to hear why exactly the police don't consider the bartender a suspect in this one.
Thank you, DC!
Another enigmatic account flawlessly produced.
Thank you, Mike!
I think she was taken by human trafficers and the hotel and the police knew or suspected as much and that's why they covered up so much evidence and make "mistakes", if something like that got out then it would ruin the tourism which is a huge source of income for the locals.
A young beautiful woman alone over there can easily fall victim to human trafficers and predators! I feel so so sorry for her and her family and i hope they get some answers one day.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...it’s a duck...Jamaican authorities messed up bad!
Have you talked to them? What other sources are your quoting? How many years have you been an investigator?
They always do. This isn’t the first case they have put tourist dollars above doing their job...well, unless you count their job as being to cover up crimes to keep tourists ignorant.
The dog tracked her to the trunk of his car & her blood was on his knife... I was about to ask if Jamacia had as much human trafficking as the Bahamas area, but it sounds to me like Anthony Grant did something awful to her that went beyond that. It makes sense that a hotel worker would see to having any incriminating evidence destroyed. I have no idea how the police couldn't consider him a suspect... People have been sent to death row for a lot less than what they found against him. Instead of prosecuting & upping forces against criminals to make these places safe for tourism, they just cover up the crime to keep making those big bucks. It's sickening.
I love your videos! Your style is so professional and we'll executed. I'm positive that you could have your own show on TV and it would be a huge success! x
Thank you so much!
Totes agree. 😊
This case is very odd.if she was going to leave the hotel in the next couple of days why was all her things in her room still after June 1st when her parents inquired of her? Unless I heard wrong?and I know she was 29 but if I had not heard from my daughter for that many days I would of been worried.seems the hotel did not want any bad publicity.Pretty sure it was this Anthony Grant.Unbelievable.So sad for her and her family.Jamacian police are messed up and corrupt.
Cali Den
Same. I think my folks would have swam to Jamaica faster than any flight that would take them, after realizing I hadn't called or answered their calls. I can't imagine being so far away from anyone in my family in this kind of situation. The helplessness would be claustrophobic.
@@_epic_dyslexic_ c
I've watched quite a few Dark Curiosity stories now. The Mayan
narration adds so much. Of all the different Scottish accents, yours is of the most gorgeous. There's a gentle folk tone to your voice that only exists in certain areas. It's so welcoming that it doesn't surprise me that so many love spending time with rural locals.
One big fat coverup
It’s the bartender. How do they NOT consider him a suspect?!?!?!
Spending nights having marijuana with a bartender who was practically a stranger , was not a very bright idea . Having drugs is not right in itself but with a complete stranger ? No way !! I am sure he was responsible for her disappearance but Claudia was also responsible to a great extent .
Man, they smoked a lil pot! That didn't kill her. She didn't become high and loose her senses! The guy was clearly a creeper, and was tryna win her trust, cz he knew he wanted to rape and kill her. Ladies watch out for men abroad, I was nearly raped by Egyptian men in the Canary Islands who were working the bar in a club next to our hotel. Always have ur wits about u!
@Valerie Hayes being drunk or high is same difference. You're still out either way.
@@glow1815 its definitely not the same lmaoo
There is something really wrong with this story. Number one is that there was no open travel to Cuba in 2000. Then you say that she was on her way to Havana but landed in Montego Bay? This makes absolutely no sense because Jamaica is way south of Cuba.
I wondered about that. In 1999 Clinton did relax some of the travel restrictions , but the whole Elián González nightmare was going on in 2000 and things were incredibly tense between the U.S. and Cuba. Something's not right.
I went to this exact resort for my Honeymoon. Negril was stunning, but the bit about friendly locals at the beginning of your story is very inaccurate. It is strongly advised that tourists stay within gated resorts & only take guided tours with established companies for safety.
At the very least you are constantly harrassed for handouts or to buy souvenirs or drugs. If you wander too far down the beach the surround you.
Well said. Going to any 3rd world countries yes stay with the hotel and obey the tourist guide and don't wander far from the hotel you will NOT end up missing. I always see when people disappeared is because they venture out from there hotel or they're in a hotel alone. Don't do that or you will disappear without a trace just like these people. Stay within our zone.
Very important to become accustomed to other cultures' ways ,rules, laws, before traveling abroad!
@@66hoodwitch I’m sure she may have, but that would not necessarily prevent a person from coming across a monster and being slaughtered by them 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
The bartender played the main part in her disappearance.
Natalie Holloway? Anyone? Anyone?
Amy Lynn Bradley too
I said the same thing because this case is exactly the same
@@zahria I was not aware of Natalie Holloways story and looked it up because of this comment. Why so rude to random persons on the internet? :(
@@zaranea7920 wow you've never heard of Natalie Holloway? That case has always haunted me. Her mom/parents took so many steps to keep publicity on her story for the longest time! Where are you from in the world may I know? Just curious.. it is such a public and tragic case. Look up what that monster Vandersloot went to do after Natalie's disappearance. He is a murderer! Natalie is not hos only victim. May he rot in hell.
Have you heard of Madeleine Mccan? Just curious bc that's another haunting and well known case. God bless 🙏💕
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 Amy Lynn Bradley drowned after falling off the railing of the cruise ship. She wasn't trafficked.
This makes me want to avoid that resort chain. They deliberately got rid of evidence and covered up a crime.
I can't believe they didn't look further into the bartender, he's clearly the prime suspect as he's most likely the last person to have seen her alive. Then again, I'm not surprised by the measly police efforts in corrupt countries like Jamaica.
Wonderful collaboration with Kirsten Skye! Starting to be able to tell the difference in your voices 😀
Another fab video! I sincerely hope the family get the answers they are looking for, and soon.
Claudia and her freelance writer friend had/ have my dream job.
That being said, it wouldn't be as much fun for someone like me, because I'd end up staying in my hotel room and not mixing it up with locals at bars. Doing anything like that is just too risky, in my opinion, for unaccompanied females. It's unfortunate that the world works like this, but it does. It does, and we have to be aware and a bit paranoid at all times, always on guard, always a bit suspicious. We can meet people in our own back yards and be abducted. No place is safe. None. Never..
Claudia and I were born in the same year. She'd be 48 today if she were still around.
My life might not be adventuresome, it might be filled with a bit too MUCH fear and caution, but I'm alive.
Poor Claudia 😢😢☹️
You're not forgotten.
Excellently explained, Felicity. I was also born the same year as the two of you!
Just found your channel, glad I did, thumbs up and Subbed
I love your channel. So many cases I’d never heard of till now. You’re very gentle and respectful too. Love your Scottish accent as well! (My mum is Scottish!)
Jamaica is wild. I've been there.
My sister met a worker at the resort and they flirted...he said let go to the movies it's rly close....no theater anywhere near the resort...for hrs.
He was going to harm her I'm 100% sure....
Very scary. Even men go missing. Scary.
I still dont know why people go to these places. Jamaica, mexico, central america, brazil, etc. Are NOT SAFE, even if theres a resort. There are so many other places with similar vibes, backgrounds, beach like settings that cost just as the same...always do research. And girls, NEVER GO alone. Ever.
Seriously? The staff of the hotel should have been charged with interfering with evidence.
They even took the film from her camera and "developed it". Yeah right.
Perry Dowd, they can't be charged with anything if the police didn't secure the room. Since the police weren't doing an investigation, the hotel didn't feel the need to keep the room open.
I still think it was someone working at the hotel, whether it was Anthony or somebody else. They would have the ability to clean up Any crime scene and access to the room where the evidence was. Robbery obviously wasn’t the motive so that explains why nothing was taken from her room. That also could be why the security footage was recorded over and why they claimed there was nothing on the camera.
Also they said “staff”developed what was on the camera. Does this mean staff of the police department or, what I’m afraid of, staff of the hotel, and if this is the case why were they allowed to do this is why did they trust the people who ended up having a suspect in their midst.
The bartender isn't considered a suspect??
How sad. Natalie Holloway in Aruba, this woman, the couple in Belieze, moral to the story? The Caribbean isn’t necessarily paradise
Dont party alone with drugs in a third world country.
Anywhere especially when it all strangers!
I say the same. No one to hear you scream.
Yep ! What a naive decision she made 😞 my goodness ...cost her dearly and heartbreaking to her family
@Jessica H Don't reference statistics that you you don't understand. Men are more likely to be victims of violence, that is correct but violence is a broad term and can range anywhere from a fight at a club to a war. Women are much more likely to be the victims of the ''typical'' murderer. You cannot lump these things into the same category. Gang violence, street fights e.t.c is not the same as the types of murders this channel talks about.
Anthony Grant should be the prime suspect. He was the one who got rid of CCTV and all other possible evidence to her disappearance. It's too bad the Jamaican authorities are so inept.
Would never make that trip myself, much less allow a female loved one travel alone there. What a sad, preventable tragedy.
Yes especially a young pretty lady like Claudia. Very scary.
Okokok. . . HOW did they not arrest the bartender?
Like- They have scents, a bloody knife, owned by the bartender WITH her scent too.
A piece of her hair was in his car, as well as, again, her scent in the trunk, etc.
Cover-up. It doesn't pay to travel actually.
@antisocialite thank you! I can't stand the fearmongering in this comment section.
It's crazy but this case sounds just like the Natalie Holloway case how is that
Paradise is full of unseen dangerous types.
I mean how much more evidence did they need for Claudia's death? The bartender did it my gosh!
This is crazy. Even a kid could guess what had happened to Gloria. She was murdered.
Guys and gals be careful and don’t let friends be alone long or walk home alone. I’ve worked in the bar industry and seen it all sadly. Be safe please and make it home together. people give a shit about you. From your boy in 🇨🇦💪
Was the bartender in a relationship? Could it be a passion crime? Poor parents. How awful.
How in the heck can they not consider Anthony Grant a suspect!? HOW!? RIDICULOUS AND AND PATHETIC!
I heard this story before( of course not in the detail you tell it!) So bizzare.
My friend is from Jamaica, he said he would never go back, its turned into a dangerous s/hole even for someone like him who was born there.
Its obvious who killed her.
I enjoy these videos very much, the narration is excellent (the lady has a good clear voice and a charming accent). I realise that family and friends are still being affected by these events, but that said, I think that it is possible to learn something valuable from these videos.
All people, old and young, women and men should not take for granted the goodness of the world, and be aware of what is going on around them.
If you want to walk home in the dark then learn how to protect your self, it could make a difference.
You're amazing voices collaborate so well!!!!! Love your videos and am grateful to you for bringing the darkness into the light and never letting these lost and or missing souls be forgotten!!!

Keep it up girl. You are doing so much to help these people who no longer have a voice. Most of us would never know about them if it weren't for you! Your good work will be rewarded. God bless you ❤❤
Some people have ignorantly commented that Jamaica isn't safe to venture off of the crumby all inclusive resorts. I have been going there with my family for 30 years since I was an infant and we have never stayed at an all inclusive. You can get the same experience going to Mexico which is cheaper to get to. There are some amazing hotels on the Negril beach and up on the cliffs with great restaurants as well. Jamaica and specifically Negril has always been a safe and friendly place for tourists. Talk to any Jamaican and they will tell you it is a cultural sin to mess with tourists and it can very easily lead to them being ostracized by their own countrymen. That doesn't mean you walk up any dark alley some random stranger calls you up but people should use common sense anywhere in the world. It sounds like Claudia was murdered by this bartender and he disposed of her. Could possibly have been accidental from doing some harder drugs or something but sounds like the investigation was botched.
Never would go to THAT resort! Far as I'm concerned, they are partially responsible for her murder at LEAST!
Poor family,
Despicable they gave up on her
Instead of a picture of the suspect/bartender we get a picture of a sliced lemon? Interesting
The bartender murdered her..
Jamaica is amazing...if you stay at an all inclusive resort such as Couple's Negril. There's no reason to step off, there's tons to do.
But leaving the resort is sketchy. We went to a nearby market with our wives, 4 couples. We were all large athletes so that probably helped. Everyone was really nice but you could tell it's a bad area.
That's not a relaxing holiday though.
Crime and corruption occurs everywhere not just in "paradise", so for those folks saying things about Jamaica, you ought to look in your own backyard too. I will say this much, my father lives in one of the islands and does not want his grown daughters, we are in our fifties, traveling around the island by ourselves. Once we went to see a waterfall and my Dad made sure he had his machete with him. I thought he brought it just for trimming the bushes, but it was clearly for was a just-in-case moment...lol. Nothing happened but he was offered some drugs.
She was declared legally dead despite the fact that no trace of her body was ever found? ??????????????????
Gilbert Martinez I once read that you can declare someone officially dead when they are vanished for 6 months
Right 🤣🤣🤣
Jamaica scared me. I felt safer in Honduras....
@5:50 - probably sounds horrible, but I work in hotels and it's not particularly uncommon for this to happen, and not negligence from staff. Don't pay and don't answer your phone? Your stuff gets inventoried by a manager and witnessing employee, and placed into the front office until somebody died up to collect it, while the room gets cleaned and resold. It happens all the time and it's almost never a murder case.
Jamaika is hell !
Even cops are gangsters there
😢 claudia met a man an smoked 😯. The resort cleaned her room
Unfortunately, Jamaica simply is not safe for lone women to travel to.
What could happen if you are a girl and get stranded on a Jamaican island? Jeez
Omg are you kidding why is this Antony not already incarcerated.
Kingston is a very dangerous place for the majority of people but western women are in a lot more danger than anyone because their assumed to be rich and the city is a very violent crime ridden place and the police are easily paid off to keep their noses out of the crime that is a huge problem in Jamaica!. It’s a well known fact and I cannot believe that she was just so laid back and trusting of people who likely killed her!. I hope that the family is staying as strong as possible and my thoughts are with the family
Those placesare called tourist traps for a reason. They want to see them coming, shmoose them when they're there, never see them going, and never really care. Sad they had to depend on a seasonal bartender for good information.
Is no one else gonna talk about how the Thumbnail is just Man on the Rocks’s Album Cover 🤔
💡When will women learn they are prey?
🙄 In a foreign country by herself, sleeping with strangers, walking alone on the beach with a Walkman blaring in her ear? I can't believe this didn't turn out well.
I wonder if they misinterpreted her being a writer. Thinking instead she was a investigative journalist.
Sold to traffickers is my hunch- or murdered- but why murder her? Was the bartender violent? Did he have any other reported incidents of violence against women? If not- then sounds like perfect set up for trafficking
I was once offered drugs in a foreign country by a beach salesman selling trinkets...i refused, figured he was a cop
My guess is that she was trafficked. It is not safe for women to travel alone even in 2021 and that's a damn shame! This happens a lot more than people think!
