Cruel Summer - The Tragic Death of Donna Emmel
Donna Emmel was fifteen years old and enjoying the summer between her sophomore and junior year of high school. June 16, 1975, was a typical summer day in Newport, NC. That day, Donna went to hang out with friends at the popular Grice’s Grill off Highway 70 in Newport., North Carolina. Around 8:30 that evening, Donna’s mother called the grill and said it was time for Donna to head back home. Donna was seen leaving, taking a shortcut through woods to her house which she had taken many times before, alone and in the dark. However, this night was different. Donna never made it home. The search for Donna ended the next afternoon when her body was found in a drainage ditch, just across from her own home. In the weeks after the murder, more than 100 people were questioned. Over the years, law enforcement followed up on any leads in the investigation but still no answers.

Courtney Heater
I purposely avoided listening to these episodes until we were finished recording our episode. I want to reach out and commend you on a job well done. You ladies dove deep into all of the nuances on this case and it’s refreshing to see people who advocate so heavy for victims of DV and murder. Keep it up - we stand in solidarity with you.

Human trafficking/sex trafficking
Thank you for covering the horrific crime that is so often overlooked, yet growing like a fungus! The Jesse Marks case in Onslow County should be a wake up call for every parent.
Concept is great
Love the local touch, but the sound is terrible. It also is evident they’re reading directly from a script. Relax a little, just talk to each other!
