Send a textAurora and Angelina welcome to the show Brittany Rohr, trafficking survivor and founder of Kind I Am. As a busy college student juggling two jobs, Brittany didn’t immediately identify the red flags in her new relationship. It wasn’t until her physical and mental health began to deteriorate that she sought help and realized she was being trafficked. Since escaping from her trafficker, Brittany has dedicated her life to helping others by founding Kind I Am, a movement, which aims to use acts of kindness to put a spotlight on human trafficking, mental health, and poverty.

Send us a textWe're back with updates on the case of Derek "Ritzy" Ritz, which we first discussed on the show in October of 2021. Ritzy is the only missing person in Stratford, Ontario, and has been missing for over six years, yet the local police department isn't giving his case any attention. But thanks to the determination of Ritzy's friends, and a private investigator from the organization 'Please Bring Me Home,' witnesses are finally beginning to come forward to confirm the rumours surrounding Ritzy's death. Ritzy deserves justice, and in order to get it, his case demands more attention from the police, and more witness testimony.

Send a textToday marks the 46th anniversary of the largest ever kidnapping for ransom in the US, which spawned the largest manhunt in California history. The unprecedented abduction saw 26 children aged 5-14 and their 55-year-old bus driver intercepted on their regular route and redirected to an underground prison dug out by their captors. The group's incredible escape brought about the end of a terrifying 80-hour ordeal. Still, many survivors continue to suffer the lasting effects of PTSD.Writing and research by Angelina Villeseche.Original music and audio production by Louis Levesque.For inquiries: louis14levesque@gmail.comF O L L O W U S ! ! !I N S T A G R A M -- @murdermurdernewsT W I T T E R -- @mmurdernewsF A C E B O O K -- https://www.facebook.com/mmntruecrime/T I K T O K -- @murdermurdernewsY O U T U B E -- MurderMurder NewsJoin our Facebook Group | to chat about true crime, and to join our virtual book club!Join us on the Picnic app | to chat with us about the cases that fascinate you!Use our link to sign up for 25% off Nuna - Our fave app for mental well-being!Check out MurderMurder.news for the latest breaking true crime news!For business inquiries: murdermurdernews@gmail.com---LINKS + SOURCES:PODCAST SERIESNightmare in Chowchilla: The School Bus KidnappingTVVanished Without a Trace (1993)https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/22570738/chowchilla-school-bus-kidnappinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Chowchilla_kidnappinghttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/589819/california-school-bus-kidnappings-1976https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/chowchilla-bus-kidnapping-frederick-woods-rare-photos-from-one-of-the-largest-kidnappings-in-u-s-history/29/https://www.cityofchowchilla.org/213/About-Chowchillahttps://heavy.com/entertainment/2020/07/chowchilla-kidnapping-children-buried-alive-escape/https://wizzley.com/movie-review-vanished-without-a-trace/https://www.nytimes.com/1977/07/26/archives/3-plead-guilty-in-76-chowchilla-kidnapping-of-26-children-and.htmlhttps://californiaglobe.com/articles/chowchilla-school-bus-kidnapper-reccomended-for-parole-by-cdcr-panel/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10666081/Man-imprisoned-kidnapping-bus-children-burying-alive-approved-parole.htmlhttps://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/04/02/us/chowchilla-bus-kidnapping-victim-trauma/index.htmlSupport the show

Send a textThis week, Aurora and Angelina got the chance to interview their own true crime hero, Jerri Williams. Murder Murder News is thrilled to shine a light on this incredible lady during Black History Month, because Jerri sure made history when she joined the FBI as one of very few black women in the 1980s! She worked as a special agent for the FBI, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia FBI office, and the Director of Media Relations for SEPTA before retiring from the FBI after 26 years. But she didn’t stop there — Jerri now has 4 crime books under her belt, and she’s the host of the hit podcast Retired FBI Case Files. Jerri opened up about what it was like moving through her career as a woman of colour, and offered words of encouragement for young women and people of colour who might like to pursue a career with the FBI. She shared highlights and insights from different milestone moments in her career, and things she has gleaned from the many interviews she has conducted on her podcast, where she chats exclusively with retired FBI agents.With a trailblazer like Jerri out there, folks were bound to take notice. Listen here to hear about what’s next for Jerri, and who she would want to star in the hypothetical movie we hope someone will make about her.Stick around after the interview to hear Angelina and Aurora dissect The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney, and count down the top 5 Valentine’s Day Nightmares in hopes of cheering the spirits of anyone spending this love day alone.
