Scary similarities to Vallow & Daybell, but thanks to quick action by the father & authorities, no child ended up dead. Some families are torn apart, though. See my full video about the Thibaudeau case here: youtu.be/hkHMpIC7jZw #truecrime

The James Craig murder trial begins today. No cameras allowed in the courtroom, so I’ll do updates as they’re available. Catch up on the case with my 3-video playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

For the first time ever, the judge broke down on the bench. So glad justice was done for Gavin Peterson! Check out my YouTube for a full video on the sentencing of his father and stepmother.

Living well is the best revenge! 20 years of marriage. It was all a lie, and she had no idea. My interview with the ex of the “Mormon Madoff,” Andrea Merriman: youtu.be/3VGteQdo-uY #truecrimecommunity

For kicks, here is a visual representation of a hellish 4 days of migraine looks like. It’s the change in barometric pressure, which is one of my biggest triggers.

So, um, WHUT. Not seeing a pun or other word play. This is a wildly weird error to make.

Shocking updates that may turn the Shanna Gardner case on its head. Let’s hope not. Jared Bridegan deserves justice.

Sometimes I’m grateful for past me bc I leave myself notes for manuscripts. Today is not one of those days. I wrote the following around 2AM a few weeks ago. (Speaker has lost some memory due to an injury.) I left myself no notes & have no CLUE what it means any more than my character does. 🙄😂😭

Two kids down (youngest in 2019, oldest this month). Two to go to introduce them to the home of my heart. Those ones may take a few years due to life stages, but it’ll happen.
