Hi, AOM listeners. I'm Matt Starker, CEO of Audiochuk, and I want to share a quick and important update about anatomy of murder.

At AudioChuck, our mission is to tell engaging stories with a purpose.

We created this show five years ago with Anna Siga and Scott to examine real homicide cases through the perspective of those who live them, investigators, prosecutors, and most importantly, the victims and their families. That will never change. But it's time for the show to evolve. After a meaningful five-year run, anatomy of murder will be starting a new chapter. We'll be taking a break from our weekly schedule as we work on new episodes of the show. Keep an eye on this feed for an update soon.

and the investigators who work to solve them.

There are over 200 episodes of the deck available to binge right now.

So why was Doreen targeted? And who was she watching on her cameras?

Or maybe the better question is, was someone watching Jareen?

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck.

Thank you. I'm It was December 7, 2013, and Detective Drew Shaw was all ready for his department's annual Christmas celebration.

Despite it being an unusually cold day in Yakima, Washington, the department was ready to throw down. But right, as everyone was about

to dig into the food and drink, Detective Shaw saw one of his colleagues trying to get his attention.

And in an instant, he knew something was wrong.

We were just sitting down at our department's annual Christmas party when Lieutenant Nolan Wince

waved me out and told me that there was a suspected homicide at a residence on Greenway. So I, my wife and I left. I went home and
