Hey Slaycaters, get ready for a real head-scratcher as we delve into the mysterious disappearance of 18-year old August Reiger who went missing in the Ecuadorian resort town of Banos while on vacation with his family. August, a free-spirited, artsy kid was drawn to the spirituality of the region and was excited that he and his family would get to experience it. But while out on a relatively simple hiking trail that looped up and around a small mountain peak... August ran ahead of his family and then... vanished. Authorities initially treated the case as a kidnapping, but there was never a ransom request. Words like 'trafficking' were thrown about while others described seeing August in the back of a pickup truck headed towards the Amazon region. But while the nearby Colombian border has had an issue with Americans being kidnapped -- this area was considered relatively safe. So, what happened to this young man right before he was about to attend college at Oklahoma State? Not only did this case gain international attention, then Ecuadorian President, Rafael Correa pledged to make it a priority of his administration. Join the Throuple of Kim, Adam & Jerry as they piece together the clues and events of that fateful day on the mountain trail.   SUBSCRIBE to SLAYCATION PLUS(+) For AD FREE listening & "MORE KIM!'
