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.

She points out to them. These guys think that you killed that lady. He just shakes his head. I didn't do it. I didn't kill no one. I just wanted to say that I was a little bit more honest.

Behind that door we find Margaret dead covered in blood. She looks like she's clearly had the worst last night of her life. And it's looking like you did it.

Hi there. I'm Yardley. I'm Dan and I'm Dave. And this is Small Town Dicks. Dave and I are identical twins and we're retired detectives from Small Town USA. Together we've investigated thousands of cases from petty theft to sex crimes, from child abuse to murder.

Every case in our podcast is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare personal account of how they broke the case.

Names, places, and certain details, including relationships, have been altered to protect the privacy of the 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 Dan. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Daniel. And we have Detective Dave. Always happy to be here. It's wonderful to have you. And Small Town FAM!

We are so excited because today we have a double header. We have two returning guests who have given us several fantastic cases. We have Detective Greg.

Hi. Thanks for having us back. Thanks for coming. And we have Detective Chad.

Hello. Thanks for having us back. Thanks for giving up your days off. Really. We know how precious those are.

So Greg, you have an interesting case for us today. Tell us how this case came to you.

All right. This was a very recent case within three years ago. This case came to me in a way I've been realizing all my big cases come to me. It's always on a Monday morning.

It's usually a day when all my partners are gone or off for the day and it's just me and my detective sergeant.

A call pops up on our patrol screen. A woman, her name is Brenda. Brenda hadn't been able to get a hold of her 92-year-old mother Margaret by phone like she normally does every morning and asked her neighbor Judith if she would mind meeting her to go check on her.

So Brenda drives into town meets up with the neighbor Judith and Judith keeps a key because she lives next door to Margaret Brenda and Judith open the door. They notice there's broken glass everywhere and they check on her find her in her bedroom and Margaret's covered in blood.

They call 911 and the call comes on the screen as Brenda is reporting that her mother must have committed suicide by slashing her neck with broken glass.
