Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself,

Mandy and my dear friend Melissa.

Hi, Melissa.

I'm Mandy.

How are you?

I'm doing great this week.

How are you?

I'm doing just fine, thanks.

I'm doing well.

I'm doing good. I'm good. Yeah. Great. I'm fine.

I need to. We need to come up with something else because I'm running low. After the lizard thing and that one really just jump started things for me, the greetings earthlings, and now I just don't know where to go.

I know. I don't really know where to go either from there. I will have to start coming up with some more creative intros to kind of shake things up a bit each week. Yeah, either or I'm going to come up with some responses to throw you off. We'll throw each other off. That's fine. We'll mutually throw each other off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next week, there's always next week. Yeah, all right. So we'll get into the episode this week. I'm really excited to share this story because some of my favorite stories are ones that are like the story this week. There are stories of survival and about people who literally beat all odds and live through a horrific event or

accident that could have easily ended their lives. I love reading about and hearing stories

where somebody has escaped harm or evaded an attack and especially those where a victim

of attempted murder lives to tell their story themselves. So I'm really excited to share a little bit of that this week.

It's something a little different.

We don't hear these stories very often, but they always make us feel better.

Yeah.

So Joe Pesci, who knew that he had a connection to a crime?

Raise your hand.

Melissa, I'm assuming that your hand is raised.

I'm not. I had no idea.
