I am your host Margot and this is Military Murder. A show where I focus on crimes committed by military members and veterans.

Alright friends, later this week I will be at CrimeCon in Orlando and I am so thrilled to be with all my friends on podcast row.

I can't wait to meet any and all of my listeners who will be in attendance.
