9 SEP 2026 · There is something captivating about those who dive head first into danger. It is almost as if there is a second hand thrill that comes with hearing the stories of what they have lived, when they have leaned on adrenaline, skill and a bit of luck to see them through.
For Dean Potter, many saw his adventures, his dark arts, and the skill he brought to the walls and skies of Yosemite National Park. But it was the work he put in behind the scenes that had climbers and base jumpers everywhere looking up to him. Admiring him. Graham Hunt felt himself lucky to work along side Dean. But, as is all too common when living life on the edge, sometimes things go terribly wrong.
Welcome back to Tragedy with a View.

But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors.

29 JUL 2026 · Five friends set out on a 17-foot "unsinkable" boat in 1979, and vanished without a trace.
Despite one of the largest search efforts of its kind, no bodies, no wreckage, and no answers were ever found. It was as if the ocean had simply erased them.
Then, a decade later, the impossible happened.
Thier boat was discovered on a remote atoll in the Marshall Islands, thousands of miles from where it disappeared. Oceanographers say the drifting vessel should have arrived in just a few months, not ten years. Stranger still, reasearched had surveryed the same atoll only two years earlier and found no sign of the boat.
But the bigger mystery was a makeshift grave containting the bones of one of the missing men, raising questions that remain unanswered more than 40 years later.
How did the boat arrive after it should have? Who buried the sailor? And what really happened to the oother four men?
In this episode, we unravel the chilling mystery of the Sarah Joe, one of the Pacific Ocean's more baffling disappearances.

25 MAR 2026 · Deep in the heart of the Grand Canyon, within the Colorado River lays the story of Glenn and Bessie Hyde. In 1928, the newlyweds set out in a hand-built wooden boat, intending to set a speed record that would cement their names in history. Instead, their names echo a different story: one of mystery, false confessions and clues that only lead to more questions.

21 MAR 2026 · 35 years ago, on August 5, 1991, 32 year old Val McPherson was running near her home in San Antonio Texas. The day was bright and sunny, and as her feet hit the pavement, she did something every mother has done. She smiled down her little girl in the stroller. Without warning, someone charger her, holding a knife in their hand. As Cal was savagely attacked, she hunched her shoulders over the stroller, enduring the stabbing to protect her baby girl. By sheer will, she was alive. She was able to described her attacker, but her body would give out four hours later.
if you have any information about the murder of Valerie McPherson, please contact Texas Rangers at 800-346-2343 or by contacting Crime Stoppers at 800-252-8477 to remain anonymous.

18 MAR 2026 · Among numerous names of women who paved the path for women’s freedom today is the name Amelia Earhart. Dedicated and deliberate, she took to the skies, not only because she wanted to, but because she also had something to prove. Just because men could do it, or did it first, didn’t mean that women couldn’t also participate and be celebrated for their accomplishments. Amelia took that to heart, setting huge goals and recognizing that some of them meant she risked not coming on. On July 2, 1937, when Amelia and Fred Noonan, her navigator, crash landed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, it created waves that crashed along the shores, seeming to scream- you can’t have them, they are now ours.

14 MAR 2026 · Domestic Violence is a situation that no one wants to find themselves in. It is scary, difficult to cling to your sense of worth and your sense of self in times where you are denied what a healthy relationship should give you. For Janell, she took her boys and ran, desperate to keep them from being a part of that life, but still her life was stolen away.

7 MAR 2026 · In September 1990, Linda Yalem went out for a run and was tragically raped and murdered while on the Ellicott Creek Bike Path near the University of Buffalo’s North Campus. Her death remained an unsolved cold case for nearly 17 years until DNA evidence linked her murder to Altemio Sanchez. It was with her murder, though, that he switched from the Bike Path Rapist to the Bike Path Killer.
