Hi guys, today on a special episode of Love Murder, we build on the case featured in Episode 110

with an interview with the author of one of the primary sources we use for the show.

Dr. Jan Kandy's perspective, however, is different from the other journalists whose work we often cite

in that she actually lived through the events of the story as they happened.

Dr. Kandy is a psychologist and author, a podcaster, an educator, and a true inspiration.

Okay, welcome back everyone to Love Murder, hopefully by now you have listened to the latest

episode which just came out yesterday. If not, stop what you're doing, go back and put that

episode on because there's going to be a lot of spoilers in this interview today.

We are joined by Dr. Jan Kandy, a psychologist, author, and homicide survivor,

who is also a fellow podcaster with her show The Domino Effect of Murder.

So I contacted Dr. Kandy after using her excellent memoir, which of course I totally

was just raving about it on our show yesterday. A life divided as a big reference for my work

yesterday and she was gracious enough to join us. So thank you so much for being here today.

Well, thank you for having me. I appreciate it. So hopefully people have already listened to the

episode, but I was hoping you could give us a quick overview of what happened to make you a homicide

survivor in your husband's case. Well, as a quick recap, life was kind of turning along.

We've been married 11 years and he failed to come home one night, completely out of the blue

unlike him. He was very punctual. It was a raging storm that night. I was watching the three-hour

special for AIDS. And so I lost track of time. I looked up and it was dark and I'm like, wow,

he is way overdue. And this is before cell phones. This is back in 85 and before instant communication

texting and all that. So I had to kind of develop ways to figure out what was going on. And the

long and short of it was I didn't know what happened to him. He not only failed to come home that night.
