Hi everyone. Before I start, if you're interested in hearing a little behind the scenes of my day

today, including my journey to Canada and my life outside the podcast, I was recently a guest

on the papaya podcast with Sarah Nicole. Now, she is huge on Instagram as the bird's papaya

and I find her so inspirational.

So when I saw that she'd started a podcast, I reached out to her to see if I could help promote it.

And the next thing you know, I was on it.

We had a lovely conversation.

So if you're interested, check out the papaya podcast like the fruit.

I've also included a link in the show notes. This podcast contains coarse language, adult themes, and content of a violent

and disturbing nature. Listener discretion is advised. Where we left off, the killer had called 911 and the homicide task force

tip line multiple times, making threatening and offensive comments. He'd ripped Tanya Smith's

headstone from her grave, defaced it, and dumped it on a radio station network car.

The police had released composite sketches and executed an orchestrated media plan designed to inspire him to make contact again.

It didn't work, so they tried another plea through the media for people to come forward with information,

playing those recorded calls on tape again.

Only three hours after this plea was made, the task force received a call from a distraught woman,

who thought the voice on the tapes sounded like her son.

She explained that while her son's appearance did not match

the composite drawing, he did drive a vehicle that matched the description of the suspect vehicle.

She said he also liked to fish at the Veta Canal, the location where Tanya's body had been found.

The woman went on to tell police that her son had also mentioned to family members

that he'd attended Tanya's funeral.
