Summary

Zack Bowen saw a lot as an Army soldier in Kosovo and Iraq. He experienced the loss of a battle buddy…and he was a hold out in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina (when he was no longer in the military). Had Zack come out the other end of his experiences alive…he might have become a charismatic motivational speaker. But he didn’t survive. And neither did his girlfriend, Addie Hall. Dig in with Margot as she brings you this listener requested case. It’s the story of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall.
