Welcome to the podcast, Crime Salad, where we talk true crime.

I'm your host Ashley, and with me always is my husband and partner in crime, Ricky.

The purpose of this podcast is to honor the victims through ethical storytelling in the

hopes of preventing future tragedies. We want our stories to resonate and educate

others in hopes that some of these similar cases with identifiable patterns can be prevented.

Now, before we jump in, please let us warn you that this is a true crime podcast.

The details of this episode may be triggering to some listeners.

Listener discretion advised.

Hey Crime Salad listeners, welcome back to another episode of Crime Salad. I'm your host Ashley,

and I'm Ricky. I feel like we haven't said that in a really long time.

I know, it almost sounds like a meme. Like where have you guys been?

So we have decided to do this little intro like we used to do because we really miss it,

and it kind of gives us a little date night because we've got a babysitter right now.

So it's kind of like our time to just like hang out, talk about true crime, and

it's our only free time. We're actually locked in a little tiny booth right now.

It's like a phone booth. So we feel like we haven't got a chance to talk to you guys in a while.

And if this is the first time that you're here, welcome. We deliver fresh true crime every Wednesday.

And last week we actually got a little tied up with some things, but we're happy to be here.

So I think what we'll do is we're going to leave like one minute at the beginning of every episode

to basically talk about our life. Give us a give you a little update. Does that sound good?

Yeah, that sounds good to me. So what's been new, Ricky? Anything?

It's been crazy lately. I mean, we have what? A 14-year-old, and we have a two-year-old.
