Show notes

On episode 39 Ciaran McConnell covers a case that has been described as more terrifying than fiction, and it is hard to argue with that. In the mid 1970s experienced sailors Elanor and Mac Graham, unbeknownst to them, took their final voyage to a remote paradise known as Palmyra in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. What was meant to be a year long trip to paradise soon turned bad for the Grahams. When they first docked at Palmyra they came face to face with a cold blooded fugitive, and months later they vanished. It took the full weight of the FBI years to finally bring some justice to this tragic case.
