The Tromp Family Mystery

Send us a text

For our final episode of 2024 and our 50th episode!!!!
We're bringing you an intriguing mystery from Australia which is all about shared psychosis so this episode might not be for everyone, if you don't feel in a place to listen to this episode right now please give this one a miss.
On Monday 29 August 2016 Mark Tromp and his wife Jacoba got into a car for a “tech-free road trip” with their three adult children Riana, 29, Mitchell, 25, and Ella 22.
They headed north in Ella's car only to turn up one by one a week later having travelled more than (995 miles) and ended with a police investigation and two of the family members in psychiatric care.
One investigating police officer from the Silvan district described it as "the most bizarre case I've seen in 30 years".
We also talk about Christmas, ( a lot ) Santa warning for this episode, though if you have anyone young enough to believe in the magic of Christmas, they probably shouldn't be listening to this podcast! The Gilmore Girls, Wham - standard, road trips and imaginary friends..
