Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast where I tell stories of real crimes with real victims,

whose cases are so shocking that many are left wondering, how is this even real?

I use my experiences in law enforcement, corrections, and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator, dig deep into complex cases of evil acts.

Some so evil, many feel they are unspeakable.

Warning, unspeakable is intended for mature audiences.

If you are easily offended, then I'm not your girl.

Listening discretion is advised. Hey y'all, it's KJ. You're back for another episode of Unspeakable.

How's your week going? Mine's going fantastic. I'm having a great week. I'm off of work today,

but I'm in here recording so you know that I got a good one prepared for you. I've worked so hard on this one. I know I say that a lot, but I worked hours and hours on this one because there's

so much to tell you that I don't think was covered in the media. But before I get into that,

I want to start shouting all the way to Roswell, New Mexico. I have got to say hello to Miss Hortensia, Valenzuela. How are you doing,

girl? I know I've spoken to you a couple of times online, and I hope that you're doing well,

and your support of me. I can just tell whenever I'm reading the things that you write,

that you're just, I'm a fan of you, and so I appreciate you. I've got Miss Liz Liz Shannon and we're going to go to Mount Sterling, Ohio. How are things over there in Ohio? I hope they're well. I was on the LSU track team years ago and I'll never forget that one of my teammates, she was from Ohio and she was a big girl and she threw the hammer and man she was solid and I was always like

holy shit when I would see how far she could throw that. I was actually on the track team with Lolo Jones too. I don't know if I've said that before or not but I'm a big fan of hers and she's an Olympian if you don't know. I ran into her the other day. She's so sweet. Anyway and then the last one, but certainly not least for today,

is going to be right here in my backyard,

Walker, Louisiana, Miss Vailen Collins. Hey, girl, I hope I said that right, because that's a non-traditional spelling, but I hope I nailed it. I hope you're doing well. And I hope to God they get that roundabout finished where you're living next to because that one right there on Florida Boulevard is killing me. I don't know if it's killing you. All right. So let's get into this one. How did I come to today's

episode? And I think it's kind of interesting. And I wanted to give you a little behind the scenes on

this one because the episode that I'm doing today was not what I was originally researching when I started writing

this one, but I realized through my research that two huge cases actually intertwined in a very

convoluted way, which I'm going to get to that later on, but it really makes you just sit back in amazement at how greatly complete strangers,

halfway across the world, basically, can affect the trajectory of the lives of others.
