## Resource

What started as a Victorian-era literary euphemism for murder on a mountain has become a hashtag, a warning, and for too many women — a lived experience. The term "alpine divorce" traces back to 1893 and Scottish author Robert Barr's fiction, where a husband plots to push his unhappy wife off a cliff in the Swiss Alps. The wife outsmarts him. Not everyone gets that ending. In this episode, we dig into the deeply unsettling trend of partners — overwhelmingly men — abandoning, endangering, or outright attempting to kill their significant others in remote wilderness settings. From cases that made the headlines to firsthand accounts shared by women on Reddit, this episode covers the full, feral spectrum of what this "trend" actually looks like. As u/whateverr-what-9876 put it: "She is me and I am her. Only that my case was in summer." "That's Genevieve. And that's Kaitlyn." Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled . Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and paranormal rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor. 📲 Instagram: @campingiscanceled 📲 TikTok: @campingiscanceled 📧 Contact: campingiscanceled@gmail.com 🎧 Listen now — everywhere you get your podcasts.
