December 5, 2007, 39 year old Patrick Smith was killed in a traffic accident in Mansfield, CT. This was not just a routine accident, the driver of a truck ran a stop light and plowed into Patrick's vehicle which was legally stopped at the light and then left the scene. Although some deadly traffic accidents are just that, an accident, with a driver who may have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, this accident is unusual as the driver was found to be in diabetic shock, his glucose level such that he didn't know what he was doing. 

Michael Smith joins Shattered Lives Radio to help bring more awareness to, not only the public, but those who suffer with diabetes and the consequences of not taking control of the management of the disease. Joining Michael is Dr. Steven Edelman, author of "Taking Control of Your Diabetes" who has testified in court to the nuances of the disease and how it should be properly managed. As a diabetic, Dr. Edelman has not only clinical experience with the disease, but his own personal experiences in managing the disease properly.

Dennis Griffin, best known for his mob-related true crime books, started his "after retirement" writing career writing mystery/thriller novels, one of the most popular, THE MORGUE. The novel is based on his work as an investigator looking into the operations of the medical examiners office. What he found was unbelievable and the fictionalized account tells the story of out of control coroner, perversion, cover up, and the politics behind it.

Shattered Lives Radio will be talking to Griffin about his "other life" as a New York state investigator before his 1995 retirement, specifically the medical examiner investigations as relayed in THE MORGUE.

In the wake of mass tragedies attributed to guns like Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT, the Aurora, CO theater shooting, and the infamous Columbine, gun control has become one of the hot button topics in every home in the US.

In 1997 Bill Jenkins’ son, William Benjamin Jenkins, was murdered at the fast food restaurant where he held his first real job. A shooter with an extensive criminal background, and a gun, took the life of the 16 year old on his second day of work.

Jenkins feels that had the 23 year old shooter not had access to the .380 semi-automatic handgun, he would not have had the wherewithal to commit the robbery and subsequent murder of his son.

Since this tragedy, Bill Jenkins has been a strong voice for gun control, often going up against those who are passionate about gun ownership rights in the US. He’s also a respected author and speaker, and  has become widely sought after as a workshop presenter, keynote speaker, and training facilitator for police, victim advocates, funeral home personnel, and victims themselves.

From the haunting cover to the words written inside, Karen Beaudin tells the story of the abduction, rape, and murder of her sister, Kathy Gloddy, with honor, respect, often grueling pain, and always with sisterly love.

Shattered Lives Radio guest for the hour, Karen Beaudin, will not only give listeners a glimpse into the anguish of losing a loved one to violent crime, but the aftermath and its effect on her life.

The guests for the hour on Shattered Lives Radio are Jamie Isaacs and her mother Anne, outstanding advocates in the anti-bullying arena.

As an 8 year old who loved school, Jamie Isaacs began being bullied by her best friend and others, and it didn't stop at the end of the school year.  The bullying escalated into subsequent school years when her friend recruited several others to band together and continued to threaten harm to others who befriended her.

Jamie's mother Anne Isaacs said she knew her daughter was being bullied, but at a loss as to how to effectively handle the situation.

Carrying the pain of a scared, frightened, and yet angry little girl, Jamie set out to make changes about the way children were being treated by their bullying peers and created the Jamie Isaacs Foundation to become the voice for those whose voices were muted. At a young age, Jamie has become a changer in the field of anti-bullying as a speaker, author, and law maker!
