Now a word from our sponsors.

Hey there, my name's Ashley.

And I'm Ricky, we're a husband and wife duo in host of the True Crime Podcast Crime Salad.

We invite you to listen to our weekly show as we cover cases that are focused around the victims

through ethical storytelling in the hopes of preventing future tragedies.

We want our stories to resonate and educate others in hopes that some of these similar cases

with identifiable patterns can be prevented.

One that we're familiar with is domestic violence, which we know can be much more than just broken

bones and bruises.

It can include controlling behaviors such as physical and emotional isolation,

financial control, verbal abuse and emotional abuse.

A case that we recently covered relating to these behaviors is the episode titled Small

Steps for Hannah.

We recommend you check it out.
