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

Hi, Melissa.

Hey, Mandy, how are you?

I'm great.

I feel like I unintentionally made my voice a little softer and quieter.

I don't know why.

It must be the gloomy weather

outside. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I, yeah, I'm not feeling so excited this morning. When I ask you how

you're doing, I'm kind of like, I know the answer. We're just literally waiting out Hurricane

Ian right now. So we're recording before it hits. Literally. It's coming right now.

And we don't know what we're

getting. You know, we know what we've been told to prepare for. But now things are changing.

And it's kind of like at the last minute. And so, yeah, I definitely hope everybody is staying safe

and stayed safe through the storm. We're trying to get this episode recorded just in case one of us happens to lose power. So here we are. We're going to jump right into the story this week. As I said, we're trying to kind of beat the rain and the thunderstorms. Yeah, we're trying to beat the electricity for sure. I feel like we have a very limited amount of time.
