In this special mini-episode, we revisit 102. Murder on Route 66: The Welch Family Tragedy with a surprising update. You can listen to the original episode here: https://www.hardtimesandtruecrimes.com/102

One of the individuals directly connected to the original case recently reached out to share his personal account - a version of events that includes powerful and deeply personal claims involving details not known to the public. 

While we don't claim to validate or endorse these elements, we believe every voice matters - especially those closest to the story. In this episode, we present his experience in his own words, allowing listeners to hear his side and draw their own conclusions. 

Expect a thought-provoking shift from true crime into the unexplained - a blend of real tragedy and mystery that pushes the boundaries of what we think we know. 

Topics Touched On:

  • A firsthand account from a victim of the Welch Family case
  • Possible government secrecy and cover-ups
  • Trauma, memory, and personal truth
