The 2002 Murder of Samantha Bree Runnion Committed By Alejandro Avila
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year!**
Samantha Bree Runnion was playing in her front yard with a friend when she was brazenly abducted, assaulted, and murdered by a sexual predator. 15 years later, her mother, Erin, continues to work towards educating the community, schools, parents and children about personal safety and recognizing potential dangers and avoid becoming a victim. Included is the audio of a phone interview I had the pleasure of conducting earlier this week with Erin. My apologies for the sound quality of the phone call, some parts may be difficult to hear. Thank you to Erin Runnion for taking the time to speak with me. Listeners can find out more information about Samantha and the foundation at www.thejoyfulchild.org

0:19.8 | The grieving process. How do human beings do it? How are we supposed to do it? I suppose |
0:29.0 | we've all watched and listened to enough true crime that it's been seared into our brains, that there is no right |
0:36.1 | or wrong way to grieve. |
0:38.6 | We catch ourselves judging how we see people grieve and are told time and time again that everybody grieves differently. |

1:37.0 | Anyway, how each of us grieves depends on a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration, |

2:24.0 | Is it possible to never begin to feel better after suffering the loss of a loved one? |
2:29.6 | Can a person be trapped in a bottomless chasm of sadness and grief for the rest of their lives. |
