*TRIGGER WARNING*

This episode includes details of domestic violence and domestic abuse.  Listener discretion is advised.

In April 2022, 27-year-old Christian Obumseli was living in Miami Florida with his girlfriend, Only Fans model Courtney Clenney, also known as Courtney Tailor on social media.  While the couple had been together for over two years, their relationship was a toxic and tumultuous one that ended in murder.

While Courtney claims self defense the evidence appears to prove otherwise.  Listen to Christian's story now and watch for trial updates in the near future.

*If you or anyone you know is a victim of abuse please contact the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text the word BEGIN to 88788*

In 1991 Jennifer Patterson was just 7 years old when she (according to her father Alan), left home to walk to a neighbors house, but she never made it there or back home.

Back then, and still today her father Alan Patterson has been the number one suspect. In this episode we hear from private investigator Jimmy Henley Jr, who was one of the first responding officers to get the call about a missing child. Jimmy Henley owns and operates Investigative Solutions and gives us a deeper look into the investigation.

*************

As stated at the beginning of this episode, this is a previously recorded interview from my early days of podcasting.

Since the initial recording Jimmy Henley Jr passed away from an aggressive brain cancer on October 28th, 2023 and this episode is a tribute to him.

Listen to exclusive interviews with his daughter Kaitlyn Carpenter and friend Jenni Smith.
