Hi Paul. Hi Ardly. How are you doing? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm so good. It's so great to have you on Small Town Dicks. Oh I am so happy to be here. So we want to know how did we persuade you to join us here on Small Town Dicks. Oh it was it was a lot of arm twisting. Not the truth.

Well what has always impressed me about Small Town Dicks is the professionalism. First you have your authenticity. You know Dan and Dave, myself we come out of real crime. We've had real experiences. And so the audience, the listeners are getting from Small Town Dicks. What actually happens out there. Not something that's been glamorized. But also you guys don't exploit the cases. You're empathetic to the victims. And this is what I'm all about. And I know that people who know me from

other projects, they will truly see that when they start listening to Small Town Dicks. That's an incredible endorsement. Dan and Dave tell the fine people about some Patreon. Where Paul Holes also joins us on quite a few nuggety nuggets. For just five bucks a month you'll have access to an assortment of bonus episodes, outtakes, listener questions, special series.

All Town Fam you get everything Dave said and your hard earned money goes to support our incredible staff behind the scenes to give you this podcast that we all love. So please join us at patreon.com slash Small Town Dicks.

The services in one mile or 40 miles. Let's stop. Seriously. We can stop. But you always say you want to press on. Do I do? You say we can make it to the next one. And then you keep on driving until we are like dying of fire.

We are like dying of thirst and our blood is our exploding. Yeah, but Costa coffees are a pound that's shut on a Friday. So I say we stop at both of them.

Coffees are one pound this Friday at Shell Costa Express machines because Friday's are a big deal at Costa Coffee. Subject to availability at Costa Express machines that selects shell sites terms and conditions at Costa.co.uk.

And I was like, Hey, man, think about think about what you're doing. I got kids. I got kids, man. And I remember that I remember it to this day. Like that's that slideshow memory. Chris looks at me. I'll never forget this is a quote of what he said. He goes, fuck you. I'm going to shoot you in the head. That is exactly what he said.

Hi there. I'm Yardley. I'm Dan. I'm Dave and I'm Paul. And this is Small Town Gicks. Dave and I are identical twins and retired detectives from Small Town USA.

And I'm a veteran cold case investigator who helped catch the Golden State Killer using a revolutionary DNA tool.

Between the three of us, we've investigated thousands of crimes from petty theft to sexual assault, child abuse to murder. Each case we cover is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare personal account of how they saw the crime.

Names, places, and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of victims and their families.

And although we're aware that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we ask you to please join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Thank you.

Today on Small Town Dicks, we have the usual suspects. We have Detective Dave.

Hello, Yardley. Good to be back.

Hello, Dave. We have Detective Dan.

Hello, team. Hello, you. And we have the one and only Paul Holes.

Hey, everybody. Hey, and Small Town fan. We are so pleased to welcome a new guest to the podcast, Detective Aaron.

It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you, guys.

Thank you so much for coming. And as I always like to say, thank you for giving up a very precious day off. We know those are few and far between.

Maybe he's working right now. Maybe you're in your patrol card.
