Hello, everyone, and welcome to True Crime with Kendall Ray.

Thank you so much, as always, for joining me this week.

And if you are new, then welcome.

Well, guys, I just got to say right off the bat that today's case has left me with a heart full of rage.

Like, the more I researched this case, the more I learned, the more pissed off I became.

I actually found this case through one of you guys, through my members-only request form.

And I was surprised I had never heard of it, but I was just completely

shocked as I was going through the details of this one. Today we're going to be going over the

case of AJ Hadsell. And this episode is going to go up quite close to the date that she

disappeared, actually. So I thought it would be a good time to tell you about her story. And if you haven't

already heard this case, I promise you, as you start hearing these details, you're going to feel

just as angry as I am. I mean, every case makes me angry. I've been kind of in a mood lately,

so maybe that's why I'm even more angry than normal, but this one just really sent me over the edge.

I was completely blown away. So I want to get into it. Before I do, though, I did want to mention

that our Higher Hope Impact report is now available on our website, higher hope.org, and that's

for 2024, which we did launch the foundation in September. So it was only four months worth,

but I'm really proud of everything that we did.

And we're being super transparent about where every donation is going,

how every dollar is being spent and who it's supporting.

So you can see all of that at our website.

And I would love for you to take a look.

And if you are interested, we would really appreciate any support
