Tragedy with a View

*this episode is graphic- listen with care*

When we decide to travel, deciding on where to go can be exciting and the expectation for all of us when we step away from our homes is that we will return. We will come home with pictures and memories, souvenirs and stories.

But that is not always the reality. And that became abundantly clear when two girls on a winter break from school very violently murdered in their tent. And for what? These two girls did nothing to provoke an attack. And yet, their deaths sparked outrage, terror, and regret.
