Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself,

Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I think I'm doing okay.

How are you? I'm good. You know what? We have not had technical problems in so

long. I feel like we've been incredibly lucky in the podcast world, not really having very many.

It's extremely rare for us to run into a technical problem, which actually is pretty remarkable,

considering who we are. It's shocking.

I think God basically knows I cannot give one more challenge to these two.

And so we just have gotten a real nice pass.

But for whatever reason, we had some today.

But we figured it out after switching browsers and we're here.

We're here now.

And that's what's important.

We made it. Yeah. I feel like, I don't know, we're really on a roll. Last week I came in also saying that I wasn't

prepared to start the show and now people are probably like, what's going on with you guys? But

there's really nothing. I don't know. I feel like it's just been two weird weeks back to back at

the start. It's a weird life if I'm going to take it one step further. We're doing our best here. We really are. So we have a monster of a story this week. In fact, we are going to do it in two parts, but we're going to do it like we did the last time we had a two-parter. So if you're on Patreon Monday night, we're going to have both parts. So normally we drop them on Sunday, but we'll do both parts Monday night. And if you're an Apple podcast subscriber, you'll see both episodes are available if you subscribe to the monthly subscription thing where you get no ads, get early releases. And when we have two-parters, you'll get both parts at the same time. Perfect. Yeah. Seems to work out really well doing it that way. I think a lot of people had positive feedback. They said they really enjoyed being able to listen to the part two right away. So yeah, so we'll try that out again. And we'll see how you guys feel about it. Let's do it. All right. So there's really no way to get into this story other than just jumping right in. It is absolutely wild. So that's what we're going to do. We're just going to jump right into it. On the afternoon of December 3, 1998, officers responded to a 911 call regarding a woman that had just been found dead. Mark Jensen, the woman's husband, had just returned home

from picking the couple's kids up from school when he discovered that his 40-year-old wife,

Julie, was not breathing. At 435 p.m., first responders found her lying on her bed face down,

with her face partially buried in the pillow. She had no pulse, and all signs pointed to her

having passed quite some time earlier, so no effort was made to revive her.

Officers from the Pleasant Prairie Police Department spoke with Mark to find out more about what happened to his wife, and he told them that he really didn't know.

But he suspected that she might have suffered from a bad reaction to some medications that she recently started taking,
