Rebecca Middleton was just 17 years old - on the trip of a lifetime with her best friend - when a chance encounter shattered everything. What should have been sun-drenched days of beaches and laughter turned into one of the most brutal and baffling murders the island had ever seen. But the horror of Rebecca’s death was only the beginning. What followed was a twisted path of botched investigations, lost evidence, and a justice system that seemed unwilling - or unable - to deliver the truth. Nearly three decades later, the scars of that night still linger, raising questions about power, corruption, and the uneasy shadows that hide behind picture perfect beauty. Today, we’re stepping into the mystery of Bermuda’s most infamous unsolved crime - where innocence met violence and where justice slipped away into the tide. Listen as we dive into Bermuda, the case of Rebecca Middleton, and how to stay alive on vacation. Do you have a story to share?
