Cynthia Hoffman Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

wow listeners it's the last episode for a while :( We're hoping to finish strong with a disturbing and deeply moving case with enough twists and turns to fill an entire theme park. Join us for one last deep dive into the case of Cynthia Hoffman who was murdered by people she should have been able to trust for motives that were based on a web of lies.
Mom and I talked a lot about internet safety in this episode.

46. Malachi Maxon Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back listeners!! We are so happy to finally be back after that long break! We hope you all had an amazing holiday season!
We are back this week with a relatively short but powerful episode about a young man who began a violent streak of behavior with seemingly no warning.
If you feel moved by this story and want to find a way to help please consider donating to one of the gofundme pages that have been set up for the victims below:
gofundme page set up for the buster family https://www.gofundme.com/f/alaska-buster-tragedy?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unknown&utm_campaign=comms_gn5h+alaska-buster-tragedy

and a second that is set up to cover funeral expenses for all victims - including Cody Roehl https://www.gofundme.com/f/buster-amp-roehl-family-memorial-fund

Be sure to reach out to us on social media and let us know what you think about this case! Do you think that it would have been ethical or moral to imprison Malachi after he started showing violent behavior? How would you have handled the case differently? Or do you think that our justice system was working well when handling this series of events?
