0:00.0 | Hi, True Crime Army, Margo here. So I'm dropping into your feed today to share a preview of another |
0:05.5 | true crime podcast called Deep Cover. Now, wait a minute, listen to me. You are not going to want to |
0:10.2 | miss this episode because it's about Stolen Valor. Deep Cover is a show about people who lead |
0:15.6 | double lives and the lengths they go to to deceive others. And this season, they are covering Sarah Kavanaugh's |
0:21.9 | stolen valor story. And that name, Sarah Kavanaugh, might sound familiar to you because I first |
0:28.0 | covered this case on my social media back in 2022. But listen, if you're not familiar with this woman, |

1:17.1 | McHugh unravel this epic six-year deception. That's right, six years. And that deception |
1:24.0 | upended lives of countless of people. And wait, during this season of Deep Cover, this dynamic duo even interviews Sarah herself |
1:32.1 | from prison. |
1:33.5 | Oh, this is going to be fun. |
1:36.2 | As a veteran myself, stolen valor cases make my blood boil. |
1:39.6 | And as I was reading about how this woman stole thousands of dollars from other veterans, |
1:44.5 | took advantage of all expense paid trips for veterans suffering from PTSD, |
1:48.9 | and she even had the audacity to serve in leadership positions for veteran organizations, |
