Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm Ashley Flowers and I'm Britt.

And you guys, it's been a minute, but today I'm going to pass over the mic to Britt to tell you an episode and to tell you an episode on kind of a surprise day.

This isn't a regular scheduled episode. We wanted to drop it in your feed as a surprise because this month is actually teen dating violence awareness month.

And we couldn't find, you know, a story that really represented this in like a normal crime junkie format. That's like 30, 40 minutes long, but we are so passionate about this cause.

And we think it's so important for young people to hear that we wanted to do this extra mini episode for you.

Yeah, so the story we have for you today goes back to an all-too-common problem, intimate partner violence.

And we've talked about it before, like when we talked about Michelle Schroeder and Anne-Marie Rintala, we've seen how domestic violence isn't limited by the age or race or gender of the people in the relationships.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere at any time. And if you didn't know before, crime junkies, you deserve safe, loving relationships.

As a lot of you know, I fell into an incredibly loving, caring relationship when I was a teen, but not everyone is so lucky to discover that, especially at such a young age.

And we want to tell you a story that highlights just how important this issue is.

We're going up north to Alaska to meet a young woman who was on the very cusp of the rest of her life when dating violence turned to murder and stole her entire future away from her.

This is Brianna Moore's story.

Brianna Moore just sparkles.

She's a bright, happy young woman

living in her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska.

And God love her.

Most people call her Bree because it just fits her personality

better.

And as a Brit, I get that.

And her personality just draws people to her.

But her kindness really keeps them close.
