  • Ep. 79: Murder of Army Spc. Brandy Fonteneaux & AFV Club

    A horrible murder purposely done by an acquaintance, or just some random act? Y'all, we have a LOT of opinions on this one. Army specialist Brandy Fonteneaux was brutally murdered in her barracks and her murderer was someone she knew. Listen in as Jen gives us the whole story. What do you think? Was he really in no state to fully know who he was murdering? Or was there some motive behind it? 

    Veronica then gives us the low down on the Armed Forces Vacation Club! This is something everyone affiliated with the military should be taking advantage of. Find some great deals on accommodation for your next trip! (Which we hope for all of our sanities, will be allowed soon!)
