Summary

Hey Slaycaters, this episode finds us headed to a scenic wildlife refuge, home to exotic animals and bustling tourism, in Uganda, Africa. What could possibly go wrong? Well, on October 28, 2015, Sophia Koetsier, a 21 year old medical student who had just completed an internship, vanished while walking to the bathroom at Murchison Falls National Park. Two days later, her belongings were found strewn along a riverbank — but nobody could determine exactly what happened to her. Join us as we break down this haunting mystery and try to make sense of a good girl gone missing. As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there!
