Hey, we’re currently on hiatus due to an unexpected medical crisis but we absolutely want to make sure that our episodes are factual and giving a voice to the victim. We pulled the resources that were available to us but if you have other sources you would like us to take a look at it, we’re very open to researching further. If you send those sources over to calendarofcrimepodcast@gmail.com, we will take a look once we’re back and re-record the episode if our research shows that we made any mistakes.
