It is widely believed that her husband, Josh Powell, was involved in her disappearance and his family may also have had some involvement in covering it up. Josh Powell was also the mastermind of the murder-suicide of himself and two sons, Charlie and Braden Powell. Susan Powell was a victim of domestic violence; her husband, Josh, took complete control of her finances and her overall life during their marriage. Today, Chuck and Judy Cox, Susan’s parents, are fighting in the court system to make sure the United States’ systems of child services ensure to protect children, not just the parents. Many of these government systems focus solely on reunification, not the protection of the child. Chuck and Judy are working to fix that.

    A recent high school graduate, Natalee Holloway, went on a school trip to Aruba in May of 2005. While drinking and having the time of her life, Natalee suddenly disappeared on May 30th, 2005. She was last seen leaving from a nightclub, Carlos n Charlies, with three men: Joran van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. However, it is highly believed Joran van der Sloot was the last person to see Natalee alive. After playing twisted mind games with police and family, Joran was arrested for murder, but not for Natalee Holloway, but for killing a 21 year old Stephany Flores 5 years-- to the date-- of Natalee’s disappearance. He is now serving his sentence in Peru. But what truly happened to Natalee Holloway remains a mystery today. Check out the podcast Let's Talk Crime every Friday for new episodes!

The previous night, she was attending an adult sleepover of fellow football moms. The concern for many was the fact that Tamla was the only black woman at this sleepover, located in a historically racist town. The investigation of her death led to many mistakes while the family led their own investigation. The two did not match. In this episode of Let’s Talk Crime, we discuss the facts of the case, the problems with the investigation, and publicized theories.

    If you have any information, please send tips to abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com On February 13th, 2017, two teenage girls, Abigail Williams and Liberty German went on a walk on a nearby trail in Delphi Indiana. As they cross the Monon High Bridge Trail, they come across a man demanding the girls to go down the trail. This is the last activity we know of for Abby and Libby. The next day, the two bodies were found half a mile from the bridge. We have video, two composite sketches, eyewitnesses, audio, and an image of their killer, but to this day he has not been identified. The case still remains unsolved, but investigators are determined it will not be a cold case as they still receive tips regularly. Welcome to Let’s Talk Crime.

In Part One, we talk about the strange disappearance of Crystal Rogers, which police publicly state they believe is a homicide case. Her boyfriend, Brooks Houck was the last person to see her. They were at the family farm on the night she disappeared, July 3rd, 2015. Many people speculate, including Crystal's mother, Sherry Ballard, that Crystal never left the farm this night. We'll get a chance to listen to not only Brooks' interrogation, but also his brother, Nick's. Nick Houck was a Bardstown police officer who was ultimately fired for interfering with the investigation of Crystal Roger's, his brother's missing girlfriend.
