TWTDNH is a podcast confronting the realities of domestic violence, murder, untreated PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and institutional neglect.

Now seeking fellow podcasters and subject matter experts to help amplify voices the system has failed to hear. 📧 [email protected]

A young mother is found dead in military housing on Oahu. No press release. No transparency. Just silence—and a suspicious narrative being pushed.

In this episode, I take you inside the investigation that military leadership won’t talk about. Thanks to anonymous tips from insiders on base, I’ve successfully identified the victim, uncovered disturbing details about the scene, and spoken directly with her grieving mother—who’s being stonewalled at every turn.

Why was the toddler found outside with child locks engaged?
 Why is the husband under 24/7 supervision but still protected?
 Why is the family being denied answers, access, and told they cannot ask any questions or contact command?

I believe this is another case of domestic violence buried by the system. And I won't stop asking questions until we find the truth.

If you’ve ever felt isolated as a military spouse, if you’ve ever questioned how deep the cover-ups go, or if you just want to know the truth about what happened to this young mother at Schofield—listen now.

And if you’re in an unsafe relationship, I end this episode with a warning that could save your life.

💔 Help Haley’s Mom Fight for Answers

Heather Spence is being denied answers and forced to fight for justice from thousands of miles away.

She’s been told she can come to Hawaii to advocate for her daughter—but the costs are all on her: flights, lodging, legal support. And Hawaii isn’t cheap.

If you can give even a dollar, it helps.

⚖️ Are You a Lawyer Willing to Help?
Heather needs legal guidance. She’s being shut out by command and told not to contact anyone. If you’re a lawyer—especially in Hawaii—or have experience with military law, family law, or advocacy for victims’ families, please consider offering pro bono support. She needs to know things like: 

  • Can she demand to see her daughter’s body?
  • Can she speak to the coroner?
  • What rights does she have as Haley’s mother?
  • Can she fight for custody of Haley’s daughter?
