Part 1: As Baby Boomers and Gen Xers age, many of us face the heart-wrenching reality of caring for a loved one with dementia. This insidious disease undermines cognition, often robbing individuals of their very identity. Chip, Wendy, and Eric encountered this heartache when their mother, Joell Fleming, began showing symptoms. Complicating matters, her children lived across the United States while she remained in her cherished home in Dallas, Texas.

As they navigated this difficult situation, the need for a trustworthy caregiver became evident—someone who could assist with daily routines, cooking, shopping, manage medications, and ensure their mother's safety. But what is one to do when a caregiver lacks genuine concern for their client, manipulating her for her own nefarious purposes? What are the red flags? This is a critical warning for anyone caring for aging loved ones: Charles E. Wallace passionately hopes that no one else has to endure the distressing experiences he and his siblings faced in their mother's final years.

Parts 2 and 3, plus Jill's exclusive interview with author and victim, Charles E. Wallace are coming soon! Subscribe so you do not miss a thing!

Edna Cowell Martin grew up in a loving home in Washington State, surrounded by her parents and extended family. One of her cousins was Ted Bundy, the infamous serial killer responsible for at least 30 deaths. Bundy was executed in Florida in 1989. In her new book, Edna Cowell Martin details her experiences with Ted, whom she regarded as an older brother during her childhood and college as a young adult, while he was active as a serial killer. She contrasts his outward appearance as a "normal" man with the "dark tide" of his murderous impulses, exploring the lasting trauma and guilt that his crimes inflicted on their family. Genuine and truthful, Edna reveals the memories that have taken on a new context since Ted was first arrested in 1975. This is her story.

Judith A. Yates, an award-winning author and criminologist, brings a unique perspective to true crime with her latest project, her book, Shadows in Fire. For the past seven years, she has been in communication with Shirley Winters, a little-known serial killer and serial arsonist. As one of the rare female serial killers, Shirley has never shared her story outside of law enforcement—until now. Discussing Judith's forthcoming book, Shadows in Fire, she and Jill discuss the chilling details of Shirley Winters' crimes, her troubled childhood, mental health challenges, motivations, and her victims, along with insights into crime causation theory.

This compelling work is set to release this summer, but Judith needs your support! She's launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for crucial photographs that will enhance the storytelling. Your contribution can make a significant difference in bringing this important narrative to life.
