Police find Kiara Henry’s ID, credit card, and suitcase in the rental car, but no phone or backpack.

1. Slaycation: True Crimes, Murders, and Twisted Vacations covers Kiara Henry’s disappearance in Maui, Hawaii, after a July 2019 trip to Waiyanapanapa State Park. 2. Adam Tex Davis is the co-host, Maura Kim is the researcher-narrator, and Jerry Colbert joins as the third voice who questions the timeline. 3. The episode asks what happened to Kiara Henry after she rented a black Nissan Sentra and drove into East Maui alone. 4. Kiara Henry is described as a 23-year-old from San Diego, born March 7, 1996, with African-American and Native American roots. 5. Kim says Kiara is connected to the Saquon band of the Kumeyaay Nation and that being an enrolled member is a fundamental part of her identity. 6. The hosts say Kiara loved the outdoors, took walks, hiked trails, and felt at home near water and open space. 7. Kim notes that Kiara was reportedly vegan, which she links to compassion for living beings. 8. Kiara stayed at the Aston Maui Hill Hotel in Kihei from July 18 to July 21, and she visited Waiyanapanapa State Park on July 19 and Twin Falls on July 20. 9. On July 21, Kiara checked out of the hotel, took an Uber to the airport, and rented a black Nissan Sentra from Hertz in Kailui for one day. 10. Kim and Jerry say she packed water, snacks, a map, and a camera before heading back toward Waiyanapanapa State Park. 11. The hosts stress that Waiyanapanapa sits far out on the Hana Highway, where the black-sand beach, lava cliffs, and shoreline make the drive feel isolated. 12. Kim says the park has a small campground, a gravel lot near the ranger station, and few reasons for cars to sit there for days. 13. A ranger notices the black Nissan Sentra on the 22nd and 23rd, then police check the plate and connect it to Kiara Henry. 14. The rental paperwork does not lead to a live contact, and her phone goes straight to voicemail with no recent calls or texts since the 21st. 15. Kim says her family in San Diego initially assumed she was still traveling, because she sometimes went offline for days during solo trips. 16. Investigators find no clear clue in her hotel room, and the episode notes conflicting accounts about whether police or Hertz first searched the car. 17. The car yields Kiara’s ID, credit card, and suitcase, but not her phone, backpack, or keys, which makes the timeline harder to read. 18. Kim and Jerry discuss possible explanations such as a late arrival, a fall near the cliffs, or another person involved, but the episode keeps the case unresolved. 19. The tone is conversational, lightly comedic, and investigative, with Adam interrupting, Kim explaining, and Jerry pushing back on the logic. 20. People who like missing-person cases, Hawaii settings, and host banter will want this episode, while listeners who dislike unresolved true-crime stories may skip it.
