The conclusion to the Slayer. In 2006, Michelle Young was a 29 year old beloved wife and mother with an adorable toddler and another baby soon on the way. To all who knew Michelle and Jason Young, they appeared to be the ideal couple living in a picturesque community in Raleigh, North Carolina. All of that came to a sudden end In the early morning hours of November 3rd, 2006 when an intruder brutally strangled Michelle and bludgeoned her to death. Her grieving husband was out of town when her broken body was found the next day by her sister, Meredith Fischer. While calling 911, Meredith was startled to discover her 2 year old niece, hiding under the covers next to her mother's dead body.

In March of 2020, Gretchen Anthony began sending texts to family and friends telling them she had tested positive for Covid-19. There was still so much unknown about the virus as the entire world began shutting down. Her family became highly concerned when they couldn't get her on the phone. Many of the texts from Gretchen were filled with poor spelling and grammar. Then she stopped sharing her phone location with her 12 year old daughter. The last text anyone received from Gretchen said she was being transferred to a CDC covid site and would be placed on a ventilator, unable to communicate. After a wellcheck at her home by law enforcement, it became clear that someone was using Covid as an alibi to cover up a horrific crime. Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine a mind unraveling into paranoia ending in a senseless death of a beloved, Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend. Support us!
