Summary

In 2015, 19-year-old Katelin Akens was getting ready to start a new life. The teenager fell in love, and left her small Virginia town to move across the country to Arizona with her fiancee. She was living her life and making changes, but when her sister gave birth to a son that December, Katelin immediately flew home to meet her new nephew. The trip was a short one, only about four days. She had a plane ticket back to Arizona on December 5, but she never made it to the airport. Six years later, Katelin still hasn’t been found, but her family believes they know exactly who knows the full story.

If you have any information on Katelin Akens’s whereabouts, please contact the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office at 540-582-7115.

0:16.0	Tell the people about the show, Wendy.
0:17.7	Well, happy to. As you might have guessed by now, our show focuses on serial
0:22.4	killers of color. We decided to make this the focus of our show because most of the podcast
0:26.5	that we listened to focused on whole white serial killers, also male, cisgender, hetero-seeril
0:32.1	killers. And we thought the space could use a little spice, a little diversity. Yeah. And we believe
0:37.0	that the victim's stories are
0:38.1	important. Many of the victims are also Bipak folks and the media just doesn't focus on these people.
0:43.3	We also get plenty of opportunities to discuss race, race relations, systemic oppression, policing,
0:49.3	history, and culture. We learn something new every day and we hope that you do too.
