Hi, it's me Alicia Holland, and I'm the host of the new podcast Always Be My Sisters.

Always Be My Sisters is THE Golden Girls Podcast.

As I take you through each episode's synopsis, I'll also touch on the pop culture

references, the oh boys of jokes that didn't age well, and the plot whoopsies.

I'll even have special guests stop by to share their thoughts about the topics being discussed.

So join me and my Coco as we celebrate the Golden Girls and why they are still so loved all these years later.

Always be my sisters, streaming wherever you get your podcasts.

1980s over 185,000 homicide cases in the United States remain unsolved. If you look at the numbers by state, you'll see a

staggering difference in clearance rates or the rate that a homicide is solved.

Taking a look at the numbers from 1980 to 2008, the state with the highest rate of solved homicide cases is Wyoming at 89%.

The lowest belongs to Michigan coming in at 52%.

I will say that the number of homicides that occurred very greatly between these two

states Wyoming had about 500 murders where Michigan had well over 23,000.

Other things that came into play are living in a rural area versus urban,
