Hey Crime Salad listeners, welcome back to another episode of Crime Salad where we talk true crime. My name is Ashley.

And I'm Ricky. And before we jump in, Ricky can you mention our patrons this week?

We have Nikki, TG and Jane. Thank you so much.

Thank you all so much for supporting our show. We really, really appreciate it. Enjoy the ad free lessons.

Alright, let's get on with the show.

Hi listeners. Before we begin today's tragic episode, we want to talk to you for a moment about ethical true crime storytelling.

Here at Crime Salad, we don't see true crime as entertainment and you may have probably noticed that we will never tell our stories in a salacious manner.

We look to true crime for its educational purposes and its teachable moments.

We hope you have noticed that we carefully choose our stories for their wider importance and larger messaging.

Sometimes the case has led to new laws and the passage of importance crime preventative legislation.

Other stories highlight the injustices and deficiencies in our criminal justice system.

And others we hope may spark an innate sense of recognition.

We are big believers in the see something, say something movement. Perhaps one of you will recognize traits in today's story that may save someone else's life.
