74: Lucy Schuhmann: St John, USVI

In September 2019, a yellow Jeep Wrangler was found abandoned at a remote trailhead on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Everything inside looked normal—except the woman who rented it, Lucy Schuhmann, was missing.
The 48-year-old traveler from Louisville, Kentucky, had come to the island alone, seeking peace and nature. She checked into a rental near Coral Bay, unpacked, and then vanished.
Her belongings were left behind. Her ID was found in her daypack at the end of a trail. Despite extensive searches, Lucy has never been seen again.
Was it a tragic accident, a planned disappearance—or is something darker hiding beneath the island’s serene surface?
Listen as we dive into St John, the case of Lucy Schuhmann, and how to stay alive on vacation.
