A 62-year-old man boards a plane—but his travel path makes no sense. Charlotte. Austin. Dallas. And finally… Cancun. When Robert Cantrell lands in Mexico, he clears customs—but never makes it to baggage claim.
Days later, he reappears—shoeless, confused, and unable to remember his own name. A journalist finds him. Then he disappears again.
Was he lost, drugged, or targeted? A voicemail, a detention center, and a suitcase returned without him—all raise more questions than answers.
This week, we unravel the chilling mystery of Robert Cantrell, a man who vanished not once, but twice.
Listen as we dive into Cancun, the case of Robert Cantrell, and how to stay alive on vacation.
