A Must Listen!
In under a hour, I devoured each and every episode and wanted more. It definitely made me angry that these murders of these young men are still unsolved, some going over 5 years or more at being unsolved at this point, going into the dreaded cold cases title. Not just angry, but also completely heartbroken for these families, but especially these loving Mothers who are mourning life without their sons. As they speak, you could hear the sadness, the pain, but also their strength and resilience to keep going on to fight for justice, for tips, for anything that could help solve their son's murders. I was so moved by ALL their stories. Alonzo Thomas's mother, Monique, while still working to help solve her own son's murder, even went on to start a organization that helps families of homicide victims called, "Momma On A Mission, Inc, or M.O.M. These women, these Mothers and their families, are no less than real life superheroes. It's even more heartbreaking to hear about the men who left children behind, one story where he didn't even meet one of his children before he was murdered, and young single Moms left behind to try and take on the roles of Mother & Father and to keep the father's memories alive for their kids.
The host, Kyra Smalls, (sorry if it's misspelled) does a fantastic job of interviewing the families and helping to tell their stories. She gives you all the facts you need to envision the crime all while she expertly pieces the story together.
I know that unfortunately just like any other city, there are inevitably many more unsolved cold cases, so I hope they continue to do more episodes. The episodes are short, but spectacular.
I never review things, but after listening, I just had to do so this time. You will not regret listening, it's a must listen, in my opinion. And who knows, maybe you know something that could help bring a murderer to justice, because all these families deserve nothing less than that.
