Gather round, friend, and join me by the fire. I have a secret to share.

When I was a child, I lived with my grandma. She allowed me to watch unsolved mysteries.

Fast forward to 2008, my freshman year of college. A series of armed robberies on campus

escalated into a serial rapist's reign of terror.

That's when I created my first crime podcast.

In January 2014, I picked up the podcast again, from my college roommate, who fell for an

underage girl online, to the chilling story of a murdered nun in 1969

Baltimore, and in the throwaway series, I share my own journey of overcoming homelessness

and how that experience led me to unmask a serial killer and identify three of his Jane Doe

victims.

This is foul play crime series, where the stories are real and the truth is waiting to be discovered.

The The The It's me, Eric Carter-Lond Dean, and I hope you're doing well.

This episode is going to be a little bit

different from most of my episodes, and it's going to be pretty personal. I started this show

four years ago because I wanted to make a difference in my community. I wanted to help people

who were fighting for justice, like my mom and I.

And initially, I didn't want to talk about Jacob's case. It was really scary for me. I didn't want to

put my brother's story, my story, my story, my mom's story out there for the internet to consume.

But I realized that this could actually be an opportunity for me to change things in my brother's

case.

And I thought that maybe we might have a chance at getting justice for Jacob.

If you're listening and you're wondering, what are you talking about, Eric?
