Hi Crime Junkies, thanks for tuning in to another summer Thursday episode.

If you're new here or you're playing catch up, welcome.

Mondays are Crime Junkie days, but for the rest of the summer we wanted to celebrate five years of the Crime Junkie fan club by celebrating our fans and to do that we wanted to release some of the fan club vault episodes to you.

We did this last Thursday with our episode on Chuck Morgan

and this Thursday I thought the perfect episode to share with you would be one of our

mini episodes. We do one mini episode like this one,

one full length episode like you heard last Thursday,

and one piece of special bonus content

every single month for the last five years

in the fan club. And the reason I thought this particular mini episode was so perfect for today

is because the missing person in our story actually went missing on this day,

July 18th, back in 2007.

If you're interested in even more episodes or first access

to tour tickets, which might be a thing happening soon,

click the link in the show notes and join all your fellow crime junkies in our fan club

app.

I built it from scratch just for you.

If you sign up directly through our website, you can use code free summer and new members get to join whatever tier you want for free for the rest of the summer, all of July and August.

All right, so without further ado, here is your unlocked vault episode.

Hi, Crime Junkies, I'm your host Ashley Flowers.

And I'm Brett.

And Brett, get ready. Your head is going to freaking spin.
