Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers and I'm Britt and Britt. It is officially Pride month. Happy Pride month to our wonderful listeners and in honor of Pride month, not only do we have a very special episode, but we also have a very special fundraiser for a nonprofit that is doing incredibly important work directly related to the issue that we're going to be discussing in today's episode.

And that very special fundraiser is actually an extended store opening with our very first Pride inspired collection.

Oh, you guys, I am so obsessed with like every single piece of this collection. I love it. Same. Our fan club has already had a chance to buy the items and now they're going to be open to the general public from June 1 to June 13, which is the longest we've ever kept the store open.

On the evening of October 7, 1998, an 18-year-old college freshman named Aaron Cryfels is taking

a bike ride outside of Laramie in southeast Wyoming. Laramie is a small city in Albany County

that's home to the University of Wyoming and it's located right between two mountain ranges.

So once you're out of the city, you're like out of the city in some pretty rugged country

area. It's beautiful though and since Aaron's really into mountain biking, it's the perfect

terrain for him to stay fit. All in all, he's having a great ride until he hits a rock near

a split rail fence and falls off his bike. Now it's just a minor fall and he's not hurt, but

just as he's getting up and dusting himself off, he notices something odd, slump down,

and actually tied to the fence post. At first, Aaron thinks it's a scarecrow or maybe a Halloween

decoration since it's getting towards that time of year, but something about this figure on the
