Destination: Medellín, Colombia

Tou Ger Xiong, a Hmong refugee who fled Laos during the Vietnam War, built a life in the U.S. as a comedian and activist, advocating for marginalized communities. After his divorce, he sought new romantic ventures in Medellín, Colombia, where he met a 19-year-old local woman on Tinder. For months, their relationship blossomed long distance with late-night phone calls and texts. On December 10, 2023, during his last visit to Colombia, the woman trapped Tou Ger in a deadly setup. He was never seen alive again.

Destination: San Jose del Cabo, Mexico

October 2022, 25-year-old Shanquella Robinson flew to Mexico for a luxury vacation with a group of 6 friends. Within 24 hours, she was dead.

Cause of death? According to her "friends" it was alcohol poisoning. But then...
a video surfaced showing one of her so-called friends violently beating her. The autopsy revealed she died from severe spinal cord injuries, not alcohol poisoning as claimed.

Why did the Cabo 6 flee Mexico without her body? Why has justice for Shanquella been delayed?
