Ashley's first story after the break is from her hometown! In 1975, an inmate escaped from the Iowa Men's Correctional Facility in Anamosa, Iowa. He shot a married couple & then went on the run for almost a month before being brought back into custody. But was there more to the story?

Two happy, expecting couples crossed paths in Ravenna, Ohio, back in the fall of 2000. The unbelievable events that occurred just a few weeks later changed all of their lives forever. (Please forgive the AC fan sound, Coco being in heat, and Sarah trying not to cry a couple times in this one!)

This case is another that is close to home for us. Ashley goes over the December 1979 murder of Michelle Martinko. Stabbed to death inside of her family's car in the Westdale Mall parking lot, Michelle's murder went unsolved for almost four decades until advances in DNA technology finally brought her justice.

For the last regular episode in January 2022, Ashley combs through the death of wife and mother, Julie Jensen. On December 3, 1998, in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, Julie was found dead in her bed with no indications of what may have taken her life. Interestingly enough, Julie wrote a letter and provided evidence of whom she suspected would end her life. Did Julie predict her own murder?

Thanks to the suggestion from Patron Brett H., Ashley's episode covers the questionable "suicide" of Neil Townsend. Neil grew up in Anamosa, Iowa, then met an untimely death in Idaho, which still clouded with police corruption and unanswered questions.

Ashley rings in 2022 with the murder of Carol Swoboda Thompson. She seemed to have the perfect Minnesotan life until she was attacked in her own home on March 6, 1963 that drew global attention and rumored to inspire a well known film.
