A weight loss journey can feel like a lonely struggle. But it doesn’t have to be.
For so many of us, lifestyle changes like deciding to lose weight, adopting a nutritious diet, and taking up fun exercises are all about putting our own health and wellness first. But it can be really hard to know where to begin — or how to keep the weight off once we’ve seen some progress. Quick fixes like soup diets and juice cleanses are unsustainable and often unhealthy. There’s a much better way to embark on this journey that over 200,000 people have already chosen. The Ro Body Program.
Here’s how it works. Ro gets you access to one of the most popular weight loss shots on the market. Their Ro Body Program then sets up a comprehensive weight loss program tailored to your specific lifestyle, health status, and goals. In addition to the weekly shot, you get one-on-one coaching with a registered nurse. That can help you adopt and stick with lifestyle changes like exercise routines and nutritious diets. It’s a comprehensive program that sees participants lose 15-20% of their weight in a year, on average. But the real benefit is that you keep that weight off.
You’re not alone in this. Ro can help you lose weight step by step, from the insurance paperwork for the medication to answering questions and checking in on your progress. And the process is so convenient. You can sign up at home.
We wish the Ro Body Program had been around when we started our weight loss journeys, and we’re both looking forward to trying it in order to emphasize our health. This is weight loss at its most sustainable.
With Ro, the average weight loss is 15-20% in 1 year, with healthy lifestyle changes. BMI and other eligibility criteria apply.

| 0:00.0 | Content warning. This episode includes discussion of murder, stalking, rape, and suicide. |
| 0:07.3 | Today on the cheat sheet we're going to be discussing cases from both of our home states, Indiana for Kevin and New York for me, as well as from |
| 0:17.1 | Michigan and Missouri, California, and Arizona. |
| 0:21.3 | So we're going to be going all around the place looking at some of these cases. I think a few touch upon the issue of stalking. |
| 0:28.0 | And in addition to that, just as a reminder, sheet is an opportunity for us to sort of go through some of the headlines, go through some of the cases people are following, and either revisit cases that we've already covered, or perhaps look at a new case and kind of give you our thoughts. So that's all in store coming up now in the |
| 0:46.0 | murder sheet. My name is Anya Kane. I'm a journalist. And I'm Kevin Greenley. I'm an attorney. |
| 0:53.0 | And this is the Murder Sheet. |
| 0:55.0 | We're a true crime podcast focused on original reporting, interviews, and deep dives into murder cases. |
| 1:01.0 | We're The murder sheet. |
| 1:03.7 | And this is the cheat sheet, outbreaks and obsessions. So, Oh, To start off with we're going to take a case that we've covered pretty extensively and this is the murder of course of |
| 1:58.0 | Laurel Jean Mitchell. She was a 17 year old living in North Webster, Indiana in Casiosko County. |
| 2:07.7 | She went missing in 1975 and was shortly thereafter found raped and murdered in, I believe, noble county. |
| 2:16.6 | And it's a horrifying and tragic case, but it's a case that closure of some kind or at least answers may be on the horizon because two men |
| 2:27.3 | were arrested for it relatively recently. This was a cold case that |
| 2:31.5 | seemingly might be solved by DNA. |
| 2:33.6 | So the two defendants facing murder charges in this are John Wayne Lehman and Fred Bandy. |
| 2:38.9 | Bandy has a criminal record and was convicted on child molestation charges in the past. |
| 2:44.0 | Lehman does not seem to have a record. |
| 2:47.0 | And the reason we're covering this again is because there's been some interesting activity that a helpful listener flagged with us so thank you to them. |
| 2:56.1 | And this is from May 20th, 2024, so just a few days ago, |
| 3:02.2 | pretrial conference where George Brown, |
