On this episode we are honored to be joined by the oldest of Shannon Thomas' daughters, Morgan along with her heroic Aunt Kay. We examine the crime and hear of her grueling ordeal coping with the horrendous situation that Michael Godfrey thrust upon her and her sister. Morgan will share her life's dedication to helping the victims of domestic violence and ridding South Carolina of this heinous epidemic.
