Homelessness is a significant and growing problem in the Pacific Northwest. Something needs to be done and soon! “Portland Rescue Mission” is one of the many organizations working hard to make a difference and end homelessness in the Pacific Northwest. They are so committed to their mission that their Interim CEO, Erin Holcomb, spent 24 hours on a bench in Portland this week. In Seattle, the CEO for Bread of Life Mission, Kim Cook, also spent 24 hours on a Bench in Seattle this past week. Before they did it, we recorded an interview with Erin Holcomb to ask her about "Conversations on a Bench."

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
