12-Denise Pflum
During spring break, high school student Denise Pflum joined a bonfire party. She returned home
safely, later that night, but had misplaced her purse. Pflum decided it was best to search for
it the following morning. On Good Friday, 1986, Pflum got into her Buick Regal and drove away,
never to be seen again. She was expected to return soon after with her missing purse,
so her parents grew concerned. Her car was discovered in a rural farm nearby, and an
investigation was launched. No evidence of her whereabouts was found in the area. As there was
no corpse to indicate Pflum had been murdered, the police suspected she’d been kidnapped. In 2020,
a suspect was arrested regarding this cold case. Shawn McClung used to date Pflum, and was charged
with voluntary manslaughter. He died only 3 months after confessing to murdering his ex-girlfriend.
11-Molly Ammon
Molly Ammon was a freshman at the University of Florida when she decided to head out with a few
other college students to Madeira Beach for spring break. Her friends claimed she’d been drinking
beer and liquor during a party. Ammon was so drunk that she had trouble walking, so her friends
decided to take her to bed so that she could sleep it off. However, the following morning, she failed
to wake up. When the others checked on her, they discovered she was unresponsive. Ammon’s autopsy
showed a blood alcohol concentration of over 0.40, which is five times the legal limit for impairment
in the state. She was just 19 when she passed away due to alcohol poisoning. After her death, several
public information campaigns were broadcast. It was meant to reassure spring breakers that they
could call 911 without fear of disciplinary actions if they had a friend in need of help.
10-Yuze Wang
24-year-old Michigan State University student, Yuze Wang, took a trip to Puerto Rico during
spring break. He went hiking with a woman at a popular tourist attraction.
When they stumbled upon a waterfall, Wang jumped into the water alone. He failed to resurface, and
witnesses called for help. Though first responders arrived soon after, there was nothing they could
do to rescue Wang. His body was recovered and an investigation began to shed some light on the
factors behind his death. The autopsy determined the student had drowned. He never attempted to
swim back to shore and it’s been speculated that alcohol might have played a role in the incident.
9-Brittanee Drexel
Brittanee Drexel sneaked out of her house in 2009, when she was only 17 years old. She traveled
for spring break to Myrtle Beach, in South Carolina, without telling her mother about it.
While staying there, she decided to take a walk on her own and go visit a friend
at another hotel. Drexel had texted her boyfriend to let him know where she was going. That was the
last time anyone heard from her. The teenager’s boyfriend called the friends she’d traveled with.
No one knew where she was, and they grew increasingly concerned as
time went on and she didn’t contact anyone. In the end, they reported her missing. Though the
police investigated her disappearance, no breakthrough was made until 2016. An inmate
accused another man of abducting and murdering Drexel. In the aftermath of this occurrence, the
authorities considered the cold case a homicide, though no arrests have been made up to 2020.
8-Mark Fyke
A strange murder took place during spring break 1996, at Daytona Beach. At the time,
Mark Fyke was just 18 years old. He’d called his mother from a local payphone to let her know how
things were going. That was when 17-year-old John Rainey approached him from behind.
The teenager pulled out a gun and threatened his victim. Rainey had just escaped from juvenile
detention and demanded Fyke give him his wallet. His mother heard a commotion in the background
and Fyke hung up after telling her he had to go. He refused to hand over his money
which caused an enraged Rainey to shoot him in the head. Fyke’s best friend rushed to
his side and tried to stop the bleeding, but there was nothing that could be done.
By the time the police arrived, Fyke was already dead. John Rainey was apprehended soon
after along with two accomplices. As of 2020, he’s still serving a life sentence in prison.
7-Jordan Britten
While on a spring break trip to South Padre Island, in Texas, Jordan Britten suffered a
fatal accident. He had separated from the friends he was vacationing with, and witnesses reported
seeing him wandering around, looking disoriented. His corpse was discovered, partially submerged, in
the wetlands close to the resort he’d been staying at. The autopsy revealed he had died from a
combination of immersion hypothermia and drowning. The doctors also mentioned Britten suffered from
acute drug intoxication at the time of his death. Investigators searched the victim’s car for
further clues that might’ve have explained the incident and they found designer ecstasy pills.
6-Ahmed Altaii
Ahmed Altaii went on a spring break trip to Cancun as a way of taking some time off
from his studying. According to witnesses, after a night of drinking and doing drugs,
he got into a heated argument with his girlfriend. Guests at the hotel told the police they saw him
pacing down the hallway while his girlfriend tried to get him to sit down and rest. Later that night,
he suffered an accident, when he fell down one of the hotel’s balconies. He didn’t survive the fall.
Though the exact reason he plummeted to his death remains
under investigation, his intoxication might have influenced the night’s terrible outcome.
5-Meg Maurer
21-year old Meg Maurer was traveling down a Mississippi highway,
when she parked at a rest stop. The New Orleans student was on spring break,
and she was meant to be graduating less than three months later. Accompanied by her friends,
Maurer walked down the parking lot, when a tractor-trailer drove by. In a freak occurrence,
the vehicle lost a set of dual tires, weighing up to 500 pounds. They struck Maurer straight on,
killing her instantly. The police investigated the accident, but it was determined the tractor
trailer’s driver wasn’t suspected of any wrongdoing. He stopped immediately after the
tires rolled off. Maurer’s mother told the media she wanted to have someone to blame,
but she understood it had been an unusual accident and no one had acted recklessly.
4-Tyler Douglas Gilmore
Tyler Douglas Gilmore was partying with a group of friends, at Panama City Beach,
during spring break. He’d been drinking heavily, and was intoxicated when he was last seen.
Late that night, he wandered off, but his friends were too distracted to notice him missing.
The 20-year-old ended up in a parking garage, though what had led him there
remained a mystery. He suffered a fall, and died as a result of his injuries. It would
take several hours before a passerby noticed him lying on the ground. When the police arrived,
Gilmore had been dead for at least 120 minutes. Authorities didn’t report what height the student
had fallen from. His death was considered an accident and no foul play was suspected.
3-Andrew Dorogi
College football player Andrew Dorogi traveled to Mexico City with his Amherst College friends
during spring break, in 2018. On March the 15th, his body was discovered at a train station.
A police officer was called to the scene to investigate the report of a person
wandering into an unauthorized area. Once there, he noticed a body spread on the
tracks. He contacted workers in order to have the power cut off, and called an ambulance that
arrived soon after. Dorogi was already dead, and it was determined he’d been electrocuted.
Suicide was ruled out, and the possibility of foul play was investigated.
No further information has been released about the case up to the recording of this video.

He was rushed to the ER. Unfortunately, there was nothing doctors could do to save Coverdale’s life.
He was declared dead upon arriving at the hospital. It was speculated he’d passed away
due to alcohol poisoning. Coverdale’s family has since started a scholarship in his name.
1-Mark Kilroy
Mark Kilroy became a victim of the infamous Palo Mayombe cult, led by serial killer Adolfo
Constanzo, while on spring break in Matamoros, Mexico. While out partying, he got separated
from his friends. They looked for him for hours, and ended up assuming he’d hooked up with someone
and would return in the morning. When they woke up, though, there was still no sign of Kilroy.
The young American student had been kidnapped by two men posing as policemen, Serafin Hernandez
and Malio Ponce Torres. Both were members of Constanzo’s narco cult, and were searching for
a victim to sacrifice. All through that night, Kilroy was tortured, until the cult leader
decided to kill him by cutting off Kilroy’s head. Parts of his body, including his brain and spine,
were added to a cauldron known as Nganga. This ritual was supposed to grant magical powers, such
as protection from police interference, to the participants of the human sacrifice. Eventually,
cult members were apprehended due to an unrelated case. Believing themselves to be protected by the
Nganga’s dark powers, they confessed to the murder of Kilroy. They reportedly thought that they’d
miraculously suffer no repercussions. Alongside his corpse, 15 other mutilated bodies were
exhumed. 14 members of the cult were charged with a myriad of crimes, including murder and
drug trafficking. Constanzo fled to Mexico City with a handful of his followers. Following a
standoff with the police, Constanzo commanded one of his followers to shoot him and his male lover.
They both died and thus the cult leader never answered for his horrendous crimes.
