Dead in Cancun What should have been the romantic getaway
of a lifetime for a Washington woman turned into the last trip she would ever take.
Sativa Transue was on her second day of fun and sun in Cancun, Mexico, when she began
sending her family members some pretty bizarre messages.
On Friday, she messaged her sister saying that she wasn't really having a good time,
but she was enjoying the warmth.
That night, she texted other friends and said that she had been injured during an argument
that she had with her boyfriend and had to go to a Mexican doctor to get stitches.
Everything went downhill from there.
As you can probably guess, having to get stitches on vacation because of a violent rumble really
takes the romance out of it.
The boyfriend, 31-year-old Taylor Allen, had already exhibited disturbing behavior before
the two went on vacation together.
This is according to what Sativa’s family has told investigators.
Apparently, they already knew he was violent and dangerous.
Sadly, shortly after Sativa got stitches, her father received the last phone call any
parent wants to receive.
It was his ex-wife informing him that his daughter had been discovered dead in her hotel
room in Mexico, beaten to death.
Mexican authorities immediately took Allen into custody.
The only silver lining here is that at least Allen got caught and will be facing justice
– the Mexican way!

The Supplier Hollie Sheridan-Connis was only 24 years old
when she died in the early hours of January 1, 2019.
Hours before she died, she got engaged to her boyfriend!
But her boyfriend wasn’t the best influence on her, in fact he was the reason she died.
He supplied her with the very drugs that took her life.
When the police checked what she had in her system, they found cocaine, diazepam, and
GHB.
For those unfamiliar, these are three drugs people don't usually do at the same time,
especially the last one.
GHB is the drug in roofies that makes it easy to kidnap and do stuff to people.
Hollie had traveled to North Wales with Ryan Lee Weston, a guy she had been seeing on and
off again for quite some time.
They had rekindled their relationship a few weeks prior and thought a romantic getaway
would be nice for both of them.
When they arrived at their destination, Glan y Gro Lakeside Suites, they started drinking,
rather heavily.
Then the boyfriend pulled out his great big bag of drugs.
Within just a few hours, Hollie was dead on the floor of the suite.
Ryan was given 21 months in jail for supplying Hollie with the drugs that killed her, but
wasn't found guilty of any kind of manslaughter. 8.
Four Useless Lungs Nathanial Holmes and Cynthia Day, a couple
from Maryland, were discovered dead inside their hotel room.
They had traveled to the Dominican Republic for a romantic getaway but both died from
respiratory failure before either could seek help.
They were actually supposed to go home the very day they were found dead at the Bahia
Principe hotel.
There were no signs of violence, although officials did discover a small pharmacy of
drugs used for treating high blood pressure.
An autopsy revealed that the couple both died from respiratory failure and pulmonary edema.
What this means is that they had some kind of mysterious lung injury which led to fluid
leaking from their lungs in spaces that should have been filled with air.
They must have sat down in their room after a long day of rest and relaxation at the hotel,
then coincidentally suffered from respiratory failure, were unable to get enough oxygen
to breathe, and dropped dead.
What's really wild is that they both died from the same thing at the exact same time,
with neither of them having the strength to reach the phone to call for help.

A Savage Beating A mom from Delaware was on a romantic vacation
with her husband in the Dominican Republic when she wound up on the wrong side of a savage
beating.
Tammy Lawrence-Daley nearly died when she was assaulted by a figure in the night.
She was left with her nose broken, her hand fractured, hearing loss in her left ear, and
her mouth ripped open as if she’d been mauled by a vampire.
The terrible tragedy unfolded at the Majestic Elegance resort in Punta Cana.
Not only was Tammy there for some romance with her husband, they were also joined by
some of their married friends.
But when Tammy went off on her own at night, a man crept from the shadows, attacked her
from behind, and then dragged her down a set of stairs and pulled her into a crawl space.
The unidentified man then closed the crawl-space door behind them and proceeded to beat and
assault her.
When he had finished what he had set out to do, he left Tammy in the crawlspace to die.
The only silver lining is that Tammy was beaten so effectively that to this day, she doesn't
remember what happened.
She drifted in and out of consciousness, with very little recollection of what transpired
over the next 8 hours.
She was finally rescued the next morning when she regained consciousness and managed to
scream for help until someone finally found her.
According to what Tammy said in an interview after returning back home to the US, the one
thing her assailant took that she can never get back is her smile.
Her sense of humor is dead, her smile is gone, and she'll never look at a stranger the same
way again.
Does this tragic case make you more nervous about your next Caribbean vacation?

The Woman Who Drowned Her Husband Lori Isenberg is going to spend the rest of
her life in prison.
Why?
She killed her husband.
She pleaded guilty to the killing of Larry Isenberg back in February, becoming a murderer
in her late 60s.
The killing was all part of a bizarre scheme to prevent Larry from learning that Lori had
embezzled over half a million dollars from her employer!
To really add insult to injury, Lori killed her husband on a romantic boating trip.
They went to Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho, with Larry having no idea it would be the
last trip he ever took.
Lori claimed that her husband fell overboard while checking the stalled motor.
She failed to rescue him, and then stayed in the boat for two hours because she didn't
want to leave the area where he fell in.
She claimed that she never called the police because she thought that her husband sank
with his phone still in his pocket.
The cops eventually found Larry’s body floating in the lake.
They thought Lori’s story was suspicious, but there wasn’t much they could do right
away.
It wasn't until they did the autopsy that they found evidence of murder.
Larry had lethal levels of Benadryl in his system.
It was then pretty obvious that Lori poisoned her husband with a Benadryl-spiked drink before
pushing him into the lake and watching him drown.
Lori received life in prison for the murder.
But what's really shocking is that she did it after 30 long years of what was supposedly
a happy marriage.
He had dedicated his life to Lori, and in return she embezzled a ton of money then killed
him so that he couldn't have any of it.

Romance in a Sarasota Hotel A man from Port Charlotte is facing a murder
charge following the shooting of his romantic partner.
According to Sarasota police, a man was discovered dead at a hotel near the Sarasota Bradenton
International Airport.
The victim's name is being withheld for privacy reasons, but we do know the name of the man
that killed him.
The victim is Brennan Wakey, only 25 years old.
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office caught him during a traffic stop and brought him
in for murder.
He and the victim, a local transient, had been involved in a bizarre romantic relationship.
Their romantic getaway to the Hyatt Place Hotel may not have been as luxurious as a
getaway to the Bahamas, but it was all they could afford.
It's not clear exactly what went wrong during their stay.
But the day after they checked in, housekeeping discovered Brennan lying on the floor near
the bathroom with a gunshot wound to his face and mouth.
The police then discovered two .45 caliber shell casings on the floor nearby.
Surveillance footage from nearby showed the couple going to the nearby McDonald's for
a romantic 2-can-dine dinner, then returning to the hotel room.
At about 3:00 o'clock in the morning, the same video camera captured the killer walking
out of the hotel with a handgun tucked in his waistband.
Sometime between the Big Mac and the early hours of the morning, their romance turned
sour.

Death on Death Road Brittany Homan and Emile Vollenhoven packed
their suitcases and traveled to South America for what was supposed to be the trip of their
lives.
For three months, they went from site to site, crossing all the most beautiful places off
their bucket list.
Brittany thought Emile was going to propose to her before their vacation was through.
But as they were cycling in Bolivia, driving over one of the most dangerous mountain roads
in the world, tragedy struck.
They were cycling across Death Road, a place that really earned its name.
Emile got a little too close to the edge of the road, his bike went over the precipice,
and he fell 300 feet (91m) to his death on the forest floor below.
The romantic adventure was over.
They had traveled through Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, but never made it past Bolivia.
They were supposed to keep going through Colombia, then fly to Canada for a ski trip.
Brittany is positive he was waiting for the sky trip to ask her to marry him, but they
sadly never made it that far.

Rekindling a Troubled Marriage Stephen Hricko booked a romantic holiday for
himself and his wife in a desperate attempt to fix their troubled marriage.
The getaway was scheduled for Valentine's Day, 1998.
The weekend would feature a dinner-theater murder mystery at the famous Harbourtowne
resort on Maryland’s east shore.
Stephen really believed that the romantic weekend alone would rekindle the flames of
desire between him and his wife, Kimberly.
At 1:30 in the morning, Kimberly walked into the hotel lobby and told an employee that
her room was on fire.
The employee quickly ran down to the cottage where Kimberly was staying and discovered
a man lying unconscious on the floor, with smoke and fire billowing out of the cottage
windows.
The employee ran to the rescue and dragged the man out of the burning cabin.
It was Stephen, terribly burned and already dead.
When questioned by the police, Kimberly said everything started out fine.
They went to the murder mystery, then returned to their room and watched a movie.
Stephen had been drinking a lot and tried to get frisky.
She said no, they got into an argument, and she left the room and went for a drive.
When she came back, the room was filled with smoke and she couldn't go inside.
She figured Stephen had gotten too drunk and fell asleep with a lit cigar, igniting himself
and the room.
But there were a few pieces of the puzzle that didn't fit.
When family and friends were questioned, they all agreed that Steve never smoked.
He hated it.
And then when the firefighters went through the destruction of the cottage, they discovered
an accelerant had been used to start the fire.
Suspicion soon turned to Kimberly.
After a lengthy investigation, the police learned that she had used a drug called succinylcholine
to paralyze him.
This is a powerful muscle relaxant used in surgeries.
Then, once he was paralyzed, she doused him with lighter fluid, set him on fire, and watched
as the flesh melted off his bones.

Insecticides at the Hotel Kaylynn Knull and her boyfriend Tom Schwander
were on a romantic vacation to the Dominican Republic when they became terribly ill.
They were staying at the same hotel as the couple we talked about earlier, the ones that
both died from sudden respiratory failure.
And while I said earlier how the couple’s death really seemed like a freak accident,
Kaylynn and Tom’s story may shed some disturbing light on what really happened.
They were on vacation for 13 days.
But it was on the 6th day that they woke up and both suffered pounding headaches.
They went for breakfast, then returned to the room and found that there was an overwhelming
chemical smell.
They called the front desk for help and a hotel manager eventually arrived and gave
them an air cleaner to help with the smell.
But when that wasn't satisfactory, the couple demanded to change rooms.
Changing rooms didn't help.
The couple continued to get worse and worse.
They had stomach cramps and diarrhea, and even started to bleed from their butts.
They canceled their trip and flew home early.
When they went to their family doctor, he told them that they had been exposed to chemicals
found in pesticides.
The couple now believe they became violently ill because insecticides had spread through
the air conditioning system and poisoned them in their sleep.
And this would explain what happened to the couple previously who died from lung failure.
They were poisoned at night!
However, nobody has actually been able to prove this yet, despite a pending lawsuit
against the hotel.

A Deadly Fall A romantic getaway in Luxembourg turned into
an unimaginable day of terror when a woman fell to her death.
Her name was Zoe Snoeks, and she was posing for a selfie on a cliff in the small village
of Nardin, at the edge of the Ourthe River.
Zoe was 33 years old, on vacation with her husband Joeri.
Since the pandemic, Zoe and her husband had been driving across Europe in their van, exploring
in the only way possible for them.
They got married back in 2012.
They brought their dogs on the road trip with them, and it was the most romantic time of
their lives.
While everybody else was suffering from lockdowns, these guys were driving around Europe checking
out all the amazing sites to see!
But the fun has to stop somewhere.
The couple had gotten up early in the morning to climb to the top of the cliff and take
photographs.
They arrived just shy of 9:00 AM.
Zoe asked Joeri to watch the dogs for a second when they reached the summit.
He turned around and grabbed the pups, and when he turned back, his wife was gone.
She had been standing on the edge, and then she was… well, not there anymore.
He says it must have happened in about 5 seconds.
He never saw or heard anything, not even a scream.
He just looked up and she was gone.
As it turned out, Zoe had been trying to take a photo when she walked straight off the cliff,
plummeted 100 feet (30m) to the hard ground below, and died on impact.
Thanks for watching!
