    131 | The Curse of Palmyra Atoll: Prologue to Sea Wind Murders
    2025/05/18

    In this episode, we explore the eerie history of Palmyra Atoll, a remote island steeped in tales of shipwrecks, pirate legends, and unexplained disappearances. After touching on the island's geological features, we dig into the story of the pirate ship La Esperanza and the island's dark reputation, as well as a series of mysterious murders and the so-called 'Palmyra Curse'.

    All in all, this is the prologue that sets the tone for our deeper investigation into the 1974 Sea Breeze murders.
