  EP 144: Case Retrace — The Rose Petal Murder (Part III)

  Sep 25, 20261h 23m

  We're wrapping up the Rose Petal Murder, and we're doing it with more questions than we started with. Part III picks up at Zachary Hughes's February 2023 murder trial. The jury wasn't allowed to hear some pretty major things. Then the same state that fought to keep those things out changed its tune the second it was convenient. We walk through the civil lawsuits, a long-overdue arrest, and two courtroom statements that made us react in very different ways. Through all of it, we keep coming back to Christina Parcell and to the kids at the center of this story, who the system failed at nearly every turn. Fair warning, campers: we had opinions. So many opinions. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn." Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled. Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and paranormal rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor.

  EP 143: Why Camping Is Canceled — The Gut Never Lies

  Sep 18, 20261h 25m

  This week, we are diving deep into the primal instincts and eerie "gut feelings" that tell us to pack up and get out of the woods. We scoured the backpacking subreddit to bring you a spine-chilling collection of stories where trusting that inner voice meant the difference between a close call and absolute disaster. We also explore real-life mysteries, like the tragic 1995 disappearance of a hiker in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, and delve into the fascinating Shoshone legend of the Nimerigar "little people." Plus, we share incredible tales of hikers who listened to their intuition and ended up saving the lives of injured strangers. You have plenty of reasons to never ignore your instincts. Or better yet, just stay inside. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn." Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.

  EP 142: Why Camping Is Canceled — Refrigerator Bodies & Tall Greys

  Sep 11, 20261h 25m

  This week, we're breaking from our usual deep dives for one of our favorite recurring bits: a big pile of user-submitted horror stories about why, exactly, camping is canceled. Genevieve just got back from a week backpacking in Wyoming and lived to tell about it, so naturally the timing felt right to remind everyone why sleeping outside is a terrible idea. We dig through some of Reddit's darkest camping and hiking threads for tales of vanishing children, humanoid figures crawling around tents during thunderstorms, ghost Marines pointing lost soldiers back to safety, and a Wicker Man sighting that's almost too on the nose. We also get into the story that broke both of us: a man who, decades apart, may have found the exact same refrigerator with a body inside it, twice. It's unsettling, it's funny, and by the end you'll understand exactly why we stay home. "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn."

  EP 141: The White Darkness: A Solitary Journey Across Antarctica (Part III)

  Sep 4, 20261h 27m

  This week, we bring our blind read of "The White Darkness" to a close, and it's the ending we were both dreading to find. We follow Henry Worsley as he retraces the exact steps of his hero, Ernest Shackleton, sled harness and all, first as part of a three-man team chasing the pole Shackleton never reached, and later, alone, attempting something no one had ever survived: an unsupported solo crossing of Antarctica. What follows is one man's final chapter, and it left both of us completely wrecked. In this episode, Gen talks about what Worsley left behind, the wife and children who are still, in their own words, waiting for him to walk back through the door, and why a story about loss ended up being one of the most powerful survival stories we've ever covered. “That's Genevieve.

  EP 139: Case Retrace — The Rose Petal Murder (Part I)

  Aug 21, 202653 min

  A doorbell camera caught him walking up to the house with a bouquet of roses. Twelve minutes later, another camera caught him riding away in a mask and gloves. Inside, 43-year-old Christina Parcell had been stabbed 35 times, her body found surrounded by scattered rose petals. This week, we're pulling apart one of the most tangled cases we've ever covered. Christina left behind a sister who never doubted her, a fiancé who found her body and immediately asked for gloves before touching anything, and an ex-partner whose obsession with her stretched across a continent. We dig into the custody battle, the harassment campaign, and the pile of red flags nobody in her life could agree on. Part two, and the reveal of who actually did this, drops next week.
