Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast where I tell stories of real crimes with real victims,

0:11.7

whose cases are so shocking that many are left wondering, how is this even real?

0:30.9

I use my experiences in law enforcement, corrections, and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator, dig deep into complex cases of evil acts.

1:49.1

So before I get in this episode, though, I got to give some shout out.

1:52.3

Y'all know that's got to happen.

1:53.3

And so I'm going to start in, I think it's Concho, Concho Arizona.

1:58.6

And it's Kathy Thompson.

2:03.3

I bet.

2:03.7

Did you have any snow like we did?

2:05.1

It was just absolute insanity.

2:07.1
