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

And if you missed it last week, I know summer is over, which should mean the end of your two episodes

weekly.

Wrong.

I'm bullet surprises these days, and I'm in my seventh year of crime

junkie era which brings a little bit of a tear to my eye like I can't believe

how much we've done together for each other and for these cases and it's making me feel a little nostalgic.

When we had a thousand listeners I thought that meant that we were going to change the

freaking world and then that thousand turned into 10,000 and then 100,000 and then now millions of you

don't just listen like people thought everyone did when they listen to true crime

content. We have redefined it together, which has inspired me to redefine

really how I do anything in this space. Like if you remember my tour last year from the

Deck Investigates, we told you guys the story of Darlene Holse

across 11 cities, and you guys showed up for Darlene

and her family. But I never got to the city of Detroit

or even to the state of Michigan with her story.

And I know so many of you Detroiters have listened and I wanted to meet you face to face

and it would be great if I could soon. But until then I wanted to bring you a story that I told a while ago from your own backyard that still needs your help.

It's one that grabbed me by the jugular and consumed a lot of my brain space and honestly still does.

And unlike last Thursday's episode, this one is a little more recent.

So let me take you back to February 2022 when I told you this story. the Oh, It's a cold night in Michigan on January 12, 2010.

20-something Michelle Romani- It's a cold night in Michigan on January 12, 2010.
