Show Notes
One moment, 66 year old Raymond Ashcroft was walking through the legendary ruins of Tikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site deep in the Guatemalan rainforest.
The next? He was gone.
No struggle. No witnesses. Just… silence.
Authorities launched a desperate search within a half hour of his disappearance.
But Raymond? He had disappeared into the shadows of history, just like the ancient Maya who once ruled these lands.
Was it an accident? Did he wander off and couldn’t find his way back? Was it foul play? Or something far stranger?
Listen as we dive into Guatemala, the case of Raymond Ashcroft, and how to stay alive on vacation.
