Hi, crime junkies. I'm Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And today is clearly not Monday.

But there is a reason that I wanted to drop in your feed on an unusual day. It's because I have an unusual story to tell you.

It's not our normal episode, but it is a story that if you're like me, will chill you to your absolute core. And I mean that.

So Britt, you and I are big fans of the podcast called something was wrong hosted by Tiffany Reese.

Oh, love it so much.

Yeah, her podcast is all about different ways that people can be gaslit or different types of gas lighters.

It's really interesting because it's a lot about like psychology and manipulation and it's really really good.

Yeah, and it's not just in like romantic relationships. It's in all types of relationships.

Yeah, so informative, so educational and you know, we've been like promoting it nonstop for the last like I think like year and a half.

We love it ever since we discovered it. Yes.

Yes, love it. And a couple of weeks ago, Tiffany had this standalone episode called Predator.

Not a lot can really spook me. I mean is literally my full time job now to constantly be researching like the worst of humanity.

Right, right. But there was something about this story that I I couldn't shake. I couldn't let it go.

Yeah, you listen to it first and would not let me listen to it because you wanted to tell me the story here.

Yeah, I was like, don't do it. I'm going to reach out to Tiffany. We have to tell this story. And I want you to hear it along with our listeners.

I'm serious. I had goosebumps all over. And for days, I just couldn't shake this uneasy feeling in my stomach because I was convinced that that

that episode that I had just heard was just the tip of the iceberg. And I really believe that if enough people heard this story that we would find more victims out there who if they came forward could alert law enforcement to something really dark and sinister going on.

So I reached out to Tiffany Reese who was kind enough to let me retell this story and who put me in touch with the girl that she interviewed.

The girl that story is about her name is Jez. Now it just so happens that Jez is actually a crime junkie and she found Tiffany show through recommendation from us.

So it's a small podcasting world. But here's the thing, even though Jez was a crime junkie, even though she's listened to all of our episodes.

And even though she's had years to reflect on the story, I'm about to tell you, I think that she may not understand the gravity of what she really escaped until now.

In 2013, Jez had just moved to Colorado. She grew up in Wyoming, but after some time in Idaho, she was excited about this new chapter in her life.
