In the summer of 2024, a new season of the podcast Blood Trails launched with a story that begins at the airport. A hunter is trying to board a flight home from a foreign country when an official rips the boarding pass out of his hand and says, "I just want you to know you're not gonna make that fly." The hunter is an American who thought he was safe abroad, who assumed his government would have his back. He is about to learn otherwise. This is the premise of Paradise Prison, a miniseries from the Blood Trails franchise, which specializes in true crime cases that unfold far from the urban centers where most crime podcasts set their scenes—into the woods, onto the water, and deep into places where the rest of the world isn't watching.
