True Crime All The Time - Bonus: Thanksgiving Binge

Starting point is 00:00:02 This is Mike Ferguson from True Crime All the Time and True Crime All The Time Unsolved. Thanksgiving is coming up, which means people are going to be binging on podcasts, hanging out with their family, and talking about which ones are their favorites. And one of my absolute favorites is The Vanished. And I've actually asked Marissa to come on with me to talk a little bit about her podcast. Marissa, I got to start off saying one of my favorite episodes of yours, was the episode about Maddie Jones and Baby William. Yeah, that episode was a little bit different from, I guess, what I usually cover.

Starting point is 00:00:43 And it was exciting because they ended up being found shortly after the podcast aired. People were really shocked by that episode because of the, I guess, the conduct of her family in that case and the lengths that they went to to hide them. So it was really interesting when they were found and her family was arrested. And so was Madeline. And speaking of great shows, the one thing that really I love about your show is that it's so detail-oriented. I'm big on facts. That's like when I listen to something that's the most important thing to me is that there's a lot of facts presented about the case. And the one show that I really liked recently was the one you did about Austin SIG and the Jessica Ridgeway case.

Starting point is 00:01:24 And first of all, let me say I appreciate the praise. I mean, coming from you, that really means a lot. But the details are important. I mean, it's one thing that we try to stress a lot. And the Austin SIG case, the murder of Jessica Ridgeway, it drew a lot of attention from listeners and a lot of interaction on social media. Anytime you're talking about just the sweet, innocent little girl who's murdered, just that alone. That's going to cause a lot of outrage. And then to find out that the perpetrator is not a kid, but not.

Starting point is 00:02:01 not an adult, essentially, you know, 17 years old, it's just a fascinating story. Yeah. And it's such a sad case, you know, and when I was listening, the part about her mom having her cell phone turned off or in the other room that day. And it's just one of those things that that little detail could happen to anyone at any time. You know, you just miss a phone call. And then you don't realize that your kid didn't make it to school. That's so terrible. Well, and I'm sure, just like you do with your episodes. I mean, These things, they break your heart when you start to vet out some of these details. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:37 It really is. It's just some of these cases, just like Jessica Ridgways, are devastating not only for the family, but also I think for the whole community. Well, Marissa, I want to thank you so much for coming on. It's been a pleasure. I really appreciate you taking the time. And like I said, I am a huge fan of your show. I'm a huge fan of your show, too. Actually, I really like your unsolved show, too.

Starting point is 00:03:03 I'm a big fan of unsolved cases. Much closer to yours, right? I mean, the solved are, you kind of know there's not a whole lot of mystery. It's just finding out the details. I like unsolved, too. So for everyone that hasn't, go out and check out Marissa's show The Vanished. It's unbelievable. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
