This is an I-Heart podcast.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

I didn't realize what I was dealing with when I first worked on a case where a jogger goes missing.

I remember her name, Julie Love, in Atlanta.

At the time I was a felony prosecutor in intercity Atlanta.

She had been out jogging.

She was a kindergarten teacher and she couldn't be found.

The investigation was fierce and at one point, finally, her glass eye was found. To look at her, you would never even know

she had a prosthetic eye, but she did. And that cracked the case wide open. Since that time,

over and over and over, we hear about usually women who go missing or end up murdered while exercising.

Julie was murdered, and there have been thousands of women who go missing or murdered since that time.

When I first encountered that case, I did not realize that her disappearance in death was just the tip of the iceberg.

Now, so one of the reasons I wrote, don't be a victim, fighting back,

I guess to America's crime wave.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

One of the first chapters I worked on was safe while exercising.

And joining me today is the man whose daughter inspired me to spend months and months researching and cultivating the information not to scare you, but to arm you, to arm you with knowledge, to protect yourself

and your family.

My proceeds from this book going to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Take a listen to this.

Give me a sense for the timeline that day.

That's a day that I will never forget.
