    Hiding the Bodies

    Hiding the Bodies

    Today we look at two cases that were almost perfect murders.  In one, there was no connection between the victim and murderer, while in the other there was an elaborate plan to cover up the deed.  However both cases would come up short in the same way; when it came to hiding the bodies.

Choose your sponsors wisely

Jon, I have trouble believing you have not seen the discourse regarding Better Help and why influencers should use caution when sponsoring them. Please look into this if you have not already… as an advocate for victims, I would hope you wouldn’t be okay with their practices.
