Summary

Fifteen-year-old April Andrews told her mom that she was going to make a short trip down the road to the church clothing sale. It wasn't too far; it seemed safe to make the walk, especially in their small town of Pea Ridge, Arkansas. But April never made it home, nor had she made it to the sale.

0:00.0	Peeridge in the heart of the Ozark Mountains is known for many things. It's known for being the site of the Peeridge National Military Park, which commemorates one of the largest Civil War battles west of the Mississippi River.

0:58.5	This is the story of April Andrews. I'm going to be the one I'm I'm the I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm going to be. Welcome to coffee and cases where we like our coffee hot and our cases cold. My name is Allison Williams. And my name is Maggie Damran.

2:06.1	So sit back, sip your coffee, and listen to what's brewing this week.
2:10.3	Okay, so I'm just going to preface this episode, y'all, by saying, if you hear a baby in the background, this is totally

2:27.1	just wasn't having it, so he's now sitting with me in my bed because that's where we're recording today.
