Episode 86; Collaboration with Social Detective Podcast; the Fager Family Murders and Survivor Jalen Morris

Hi guys, I'm sorry to have been MIA for the last month, but I finally made it back to this episode that we recorded at the beginning of December!

But let me tell you, Episode 86 is worth the wait!

This collaboration with MaryAnne from Social Detective is intense, and also longer than my normal episodes, see time stamps below.

MaryAnne brings us the infuriating (no joke--this will make you angry) case of the Fager Family murders in Wichita, Kansas. Mary Fager's husband Phillip and both of her daughters, Kelli and Sherri, were senselessly murdered between Christmas and New Year's eve in 1987. All the evidence pointed to one person. This person was caught, arrested, and brought to trial. But if you assume that means there was justice....well, you'd better hear the whole story.

Beth follows with a difficult survivor story of a young Georgia mother who was nearly murdered by her ex-boyfriend's attempted murder/suicide. But Jalen Morris, although she suffered immensely from what her attacker did in his final acts, rose above what most people could accomplish. Gravely injured, she shielded her six-week-old baby from gunfire, and managed to save herself and her infant boy from the baby's deranged father.

The strong and beautiful Morris family is doing everything they can to be independent, but horrible crimes like this one have far-reaching effects on a family's financial structure.

Please, if you can spare ANY amount , please join me in donating to the Morris Family's GoFundMe, here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/34qqpkf13c

Thank you for waiting for me. I'm back and ready to find more overlooked victims and awe-inspiring survivors to honor. We are here for them, and no one else.

Love you guys, see you soon!
