As a native Pennsylvanian, I’ve grown to appreciate the finer things in life that my home state has to offer, such as lush foliage, majestic mountain ranges, the chocolate capital of the world and let’s not forget, the world’s best cheese steak. 

In the 80’s, us Pennsylvainian’s let everyone know who the state of Pennsylvania really was, and declared:  you’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania.

I’m Andrea Dudeck, host and creator of Departed in Pennsyltucky, a true crime podcast that covers all true crime events happening in my home state of Pennsylvania. Each week I’ll do a deep dive on some of the most fascinating crimes that made headlines all across the keystone state.
