| 0:00.0 | Award of warning. This podcast explores graphic and disturbing stories and includes some |
| 0:05.3 | strong language. It therefore may not be suitable for our young listeners or other folks who |
| 0:10.9 | may find it disturbing. Hello and welcome to True Crime Daily, the podcast covering high-profile |

| 1:46.2 | a tremendous friend of mine and the show. Welcome, Allison. Thank you, Anna, for having me. I |
| 1:54.1 | always love being on your show. We've got some cases that are very disturbing. And the first one, |
| 2:03.6 | Allison, I can tell you, even as I was going through the parts of this in preparation for the |
