Mark Abbott figured he'd better take the back roads to get home in the early morning hours of November 8th, 1992. He would later claim that he was drunk and didn't want to get another DUI or get cited for driving without a license. When he pulled off of Interstate 55 near Benton, Missouri, he saw a car idling at the top of an exit ramp. He looked in, and realized he'd found a body. Welcome to another episode of The Unlovely Truth. I'm your host, private investigator Lori Morrison. Join me for another captivating true crime story, where physical, spiritual, and emotional safety takeaways are waiting for us. If you are listening, I believe you have a unique calling—to become a different kind of PI, not a typical private investigator, but a person of impact! Our book this week is “The Murder of Angela Mischelle Lawless: An Honest Sheriff and the Exoneration of an Innocent Man” by Stephen R. Snodgrass with Joshua C. Kezer and our guest is Joshua Kezer. We will check in with Josh after we investigate this fascinating book. The body Mark Abbott found was 19 year old nursing student Angela Mischelle Lawless. With all the wisdom of a drunk man, he decided someone else would come by soon, and if the police came looking for him, he'd tell them he was Matt Abbott, his twin brother. If true crime shows had been popular back then, maybe he'd have known that twins don't have identical fingerprints. Someone else did drive and notice the car, but didn't stop in case whoever was inside might be looking for trouble. The couple went to the sheriff's department to tell them the scene needed to be checked out. Deputies found Angela, who went by her middle name of Mischelle lying across the center console with her head on the passenger seat. Mischelle didn't appear to be breathing. Witnesses said that Josh had confessed to them. Despite having alibi witnesses that placed him over 300 miles away at the time of the murder, Josh was convicted and sent to prison. Prison is a rough and dangerous place and Josh had to learn how to survive there. As time passed, he got involved with the prison ministry attending Sunday services and joining Bible Study groups. Josh says in the book that faith became the focus and center of his life, giving him hope for the future, and helping him handle the nightmare that was his present. It was there that he met Jane Williams. Jane was at the prison giving a presentation on devotionals she had written. After meeting they forged a friendship through correspondence. Eventually, Josh trusted Jane enough to tell her his story. Scott County reserve deputy Rick Walter had always believed that the case against Josh was weak. Though neither he nor Jane Williams knew what the other was doing, their combined efforts would change Josh's life forever. It wasn't easy, and he still lives with the trauma he endured spending so many years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. One of the most important things that he learned was the importance of forgiveness. Psalm 109:1-3 Be not silent, O God of my praise! For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. This is a Psalm of David, written when he was at a really low point in his life. Enemies were pursuing him with lies. Josh Kezer knows what that feels like. If you read the rest of this Psalm, you'll see that even in his distress, David left vengeance to God. That's not an easy thing to do at all. It certainly helped David that he cried out to God. It helped Josh that he turned to his faith too. What attacks are you facing where it's really tempting to try to get payback? I hope that Psalm 109 inspires you to let God deal with it.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Katelyn Reece and Matt Abbott of the indie folk duo, RustedMelody. As with Quinn Leach, who I interviewed a few weeks ago, we saw RustedMelody perform at Talona Ridge RV Resort in East Ellijay, Georgia. I always love talking to musicians and other creative people and learning about what inspires them to do what they do. Music truly is the universal language and can be used to heal our souls. Matt and Katelyn talk about how they form a connection with the audience while performing and how they feed off of the crowd's energy during a show. During the pandemic, they made the gutsy decision to quit their jobs and start performing music as a livelihood as opposed to just a hobby. They're performing at least four gigs a week throughout the North Georgia region. During the podcast, they perform their original song, “Butterfly.” It's a song about life, love and the journey to find yourself. All rights to the song belong to RustedMelody and it is used in the podcast with their permission.

Something is haunting our oceans... and it's trapping aquatic species and threatens fishers harvesting operations! In part 2 of our plastic ocean mini-series, we focus on ghost gear: old and damaged fishing lines, traps and aquaculture infrastructures that becomes loose in the ocean and continue fishing unattended. So, what's being done to address this global issue? in this episode, we find out by learning about community-led ghost gear initiatives. We will investigate where this gear is coming from, how it is being tracked, where some of the most problematic areas, how the gear can be retrieved, and finally, strategies for preventing ghost gear in the first place!
