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

And I'm Brett.

And the story I have for you today is as

furiating as it is heartbreaking.

When a 12 year old girl is murdered in Northern California,

everyone is quick to say she just fell through the cracks.

But her story is so much bigger than that.

In her case, exposed the cracks in every system that failed her repeatedly,

both while she was alive and after her death.

Now, her sister is fighting for long overdue justice

and trying to solve her murder.

This is the story of Georgia Leah Moses.

It's Friday, August 22, 1997 in Santa Rosa, California.

And police officers and child protective services

knock on the door of Edward Pope.

They're there to conduct a welfare check because they've heard that

Edward is living with his girlfriend, Ida Moses,

and Ida's seven year old daughter, Angel.

And that's a big problem because Edward, or Eddie, as everyone calls him,

is a convicted child molester.

Having Angel living in his apartment is a huge violation of his parole.

Uh, yeah.
