Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa.

I was actually thinking about Thanksgiving, which is tomorrow. And of course, when this comes out, all of this will have already passed. But yes, it's a very exciting long weekend coming up for me after we have
