When your cousin and his best friend are attacked - and your cousin is killed - and his best friend suffers permanent brain damage - by three random thugs - for no reason whatsoever - and then all three disappear into thin air - for THREE DECADES - what would you do? Well here's what Audry McDonald did: Audry McDonald never stopped looking, that's what. And when as the case got colder, she became even more determined to bring justice to the murderer of her cousin Richard "Pookie" Hernandez and the monster who forever crippled Pookie's best friend, Daniel Ontiveros. Together with a dedicated army of family, friends and some of the finest law enforcement professionals on earth, Audry found the two surviving perpetrators hiding in plain sight - one of whom had actually become a beloved volunteer boxing coach for the local police department! - and saw to it that they were brought before The Law. But that's where the story gets even better. Because when the prosecutors tried to hand the two monsters a sweet plea deal, Justice - True Justice - stepped in, in the form of a Justice-loving Superior Court judge who cared about the victims and their families just as much as he cared about the rights of the defendants. And then THAT's where the story hits home - as in the Homestead Studios...but you'll have to listen to discover that particular surprise!
