Hi Paul. Hi Ardly. How are you doing? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm so good. It's so great to have you on Small Town Dicks. Oh I am so happy to be here. So we want to know how did we persuade you to join us here on Small Town Dicks. Oh it was it was a lot of arm twisting. Not the truth.

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. Where Paul Holes also joins us on quite a few nuggety nuggets. For just five bucks a month you'll have access to an assortment of bonus episodes, outtakes, listener questions, special series.

All Town Fam you get everything Dave said and your hard earned money goes to support our incredible staff behind the scenes to give you this podcast that we all love. So please join us at patreon.com slash Small Town Dicks.

Hey, it's me Ashley James from the podcast Mums the Word. I'm here to tell you today about the NHS Winter Vaccinations campaign. If you're pregnant, flu and COVID-19 can cause serious harm.

To you and your baby. That's why you're eligible for a COVID-19 booster and flu vaccine because they are the best protection against these winter viruses. Remember you can get your vaccines at any stage of your pregnancy.

Protection provided by COVID-19 vaccines decreases over time and flu viruses can change every year. Flu can also be horrible for young children.

That's why children age 2 and 3 before September 2022 are eligible for a free flu nasal spray vaccine. Find out how to book at NHS.uk forward slash winter vaccinations. Get boosted, get protected.

It was an impression in kind of the top side of her head about the size of a dessert plate and it was probably 2 and a half, 3 inches depressed in. So that much of her brain was gone. And when I think of this case, I think of when I first went to see her in the hospital. That was the first thing I saw and the next thing I recognized her observable. So her eye was not there anymore.

Hi there, I'm Yardley. I'm Dan. I'm Dave. And I'm Paul. And this is Small Town Gicks.

Dave and I are identical twins and retired detectives from Small Town USA. And I'm a veteran cold case investigator who helped catch the Golden State Killer using a revolutionary DNA tool.

Between the three of us, we've investigated thousands of crimes from petty theft to sexual assault, child abuse to murder. Each case we cover is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare personal account of how they saw the crime.

Names, places, and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of 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.

Hey, Small Town fam. It's Yardley. How are you? I hope you're all wonderfully well. So we have a really compelling episode for you today. And I'm eager for you to hear it.

I just want to give you a heads up that our fourth co-host, the one and only Paul Holes, isn't part of this episode. That's because we recorded it before we were lucky enough to persuade him to round out the team.

However, he will be back next week doing that thing he does so very well. Now please settle in for the most dangerous time.

Today on Small Town Dicks, my favorite Small Town fam, we have the usual suspects. We have Detective Dave.

I knew you were coming to me first. I was looking right at you. I'm happy to be here. We are so happy to have you. And we have Detective Dan.

Hello, Yardley. Hello, Daniel. I'm always happy to see you. Likewise.

And Small Town fam, super excited that we have another double header for you. We have two returning Small Town Dicks guests. We have Detective Chad. Hello.
