We started crime junkie to tell the stories of people whose voices were tragically taken

away from them.

We also tell the stories of people whose cases have gone cold and are often left behind

by the media because they are people of color.

No voice should be silenced as long as you are alive on this planet.

And we stand in solidarity with the black community.

Black lives matter.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever.

And junkie will be donating all ad sales profits from the next two episodes to the NAACP as part

of our continued work to make sure black voices are heard.

For information and resources on where to donate and to learn more, visit our show notes.

As storytellers with a platform, we will continue to shine a light on injustice and give

a voice to the voiceless.

We are taking the next few moments of silence to honor George Floyd, Ahmad Arbery, Brianna

Taylor, and the countless other black lives, including black trans individuals that have

been senselessly murdered due to their race and their orientation.

For those of you that have seen our live show, you'll know that I covered an Arizona case

that prior to my research, I had never heard of.

I figured, you know, this will be a nice little mini episode.

And then it spiraled into one of the twistiest, terniest cases that we have ever covered.

This is that all over again.

It's a case that I never heard of until it was suggested to me.
