Summary

True crime consumers often feel they’ve ‘heard it all’. Some are drawn to those cases; the Ted Bundys, the Green River Killers, the Jefferey Dahmers. Those who are really into true crime know the smaller, lesser-known cases. They are familiar with the details of the investigation, the victims, and the outcome. But every once in a while, a huge case gets overshadowed by those more familiar ones. Cases get lumped together. A known killer gets the blame, and an actual killer remains on the loose. Or the idea of a serial killer is just too outrageous, so it’s ignored by authorities. Today’s case is one such story. I had heard the name Warren Forrest before Carolyn Ossorio reached out to me, and the case was on our “to get to” list. I knew some older guy had been charged for a very old murder, thanks to new DNA developments had no idea the depth of the story, nor the extent of violence his reach had, and how many victims were lost to time, incompetence, and lack of care. Today, with the help of Carolyn and her producer Branden Morgan of the "Stolen Voices of Dole Valley" podcast, I’ll give you a rundown of the victims and survivors of Warren Forrest. We’ll also discuss their podcast because a 9-episode series is gonna cover a hell of a lot more than this one.

0:00.0	It's time for another installment of Josh's Library Corner.
0:09.3	Today, he's discussing the new book-talk viral suspense thriller, Ask for Andrea, by Noel W. Iley.
0:17.6	So Josh, what did you think of Ask for Andrea?
0:23.2	I loved it. I just finished reading it this morning.
0:29.0	It's the story of three women who are all murdered by the same man that they meet on a dating app.
0:35.4	They all are murdered and wake up as spirits. They exist among the living, but they can't really do anything to communicate with them other than very
0:38.2	slightly. But it's a story about how the three of them separately, and then they come together
0:43.6	as the story goes on, try to solve their own murders and try to get the murderer arrested,
0:50.5	caught for it. That sounds fascinating. Yeah, it was great. It's unique to see that conflict and struggle to try to affect something that's essentially
0:58.9	impossible because they're dead and everyone else is alive.
1:02.4	To see them figure out how to do that is really one of the coolest parts of the book.
1:06.8	I was really satisfied with the conclusion.
1:09.6	It was emotional.
1:10.7	Touching throughout, it was exciting, suspenseful conclusion. It was emotional. Touching throughout.
1:11.6	It was exciting, suspenseful.
