Hey, welcome back to Sword and Scale Daily, a daily show covering all things true crime.

Five days a week.

It's Tuesday, December 31st.

I'm your host, Ryan Williams.

Well, here we are about to ring in the new year.

I always find this time of year to be fascinating because you never really know what to

expect. You never know what challenges you're going to face or what blessings you're going to embrace.

And I think, I think that's pretty cool. It's really all about experiencing the unknown, the unknown of

what's to come. You know, heading into 2024, I did not have hosting Sword and Scale daily on my checklist.

It just kind of happened.

The door opened and I embraced it.

So whatever challenges or blessings come your way in 2025, I encourage you to embrace it,

face it head on and just take chances.

It's so going to be worth it.

As we know, tonight is a night for celebrations.

So if you're going to be out having fun, having some drinks, getting a little loose, be safe.

If you need a ride, call an Uber, call a family member, call a friend.

Just make sure you get home safe and take care of yourselves.

In Pennsylvania, a woman was arrested on Christmas Day for an alleged stabbing.

In Arizona, a man answered his front door and found a stranger asking for help.

In California, a young woman found her mother and younger brother brutally slain in their home.
