The Strange Road Trip of the Tromp Family

Happy New Year, listeners! What better way to jump into 2020 than to hear about the story of the Tromp family of Australia and their strange road trip. By all accounts, the Tromp family was a normal family. Mark and Jacoba lived and worked on the family farm in Silvan, Victoria with their three kids: Ella, Mitchell and Riana. But one day, the family suddenly fled their home, leaving behind phones, credit cards and passports. They feared for their lives. But what were they afraid of? Over the next few days, the family would travel hundreds of miles and spark a bizarre missing person's case that baffled Australia. The reason behind it still baffles many today: including the Tromp family.
