Tonight Kim Kolton and I will seek justice for Ricky Dyer. The 21-yer-old Nevada man died late on the night of July 16, or in the early hours of July 17, 1993. He had been shot in the head with his own shotgun. A clear case of suicide according to the police. But was it? Not according to Ricky's family. Ricky's mother Josie Dyer and his sister Rose will join us to explain their concerns and why they believe Ricky was murdered.

My guest is former Naval Intelligence Liaison Officer Larry Serra, author of the historical novel, NILO Ha Tien - a story of Naval Intelligence operations in Cambodia during the Vietnam war. His new book is "Oops, A war Story for Children."

Tonight's guest is Abigail Lurae. Abigail is a survivor of domestic violence and has written a book about DV. In "Graceful Reflections" she talks about surviving an abusive relationship and losing what mattered to her most: her children.

Tonight Kim Kolton and I will seek justice for Joey Turner. The 20-year-old Florida man was found floating in the Gulf of Mexico about 100 yards off St. Pete Beach on July 5, 2004. His death was ruled an accidental drowning. But the facts surrounding this tragedy raise questions about that classification. Joey's family has doubts about the adequacy of the police investigation. What really happened to Joey on the night of July 4? Was it an accident; or was it homicide? Deborah Edney - Joey's aunt - will take us through the events as she knows them; and tell us why she believes someone else was involved in her nephew's death.

On this special 90 minute show we'll discuss what mothers can do to bring about change in the treatment of protective mothers and their children in family court proceedings. Guests will be advocate and author Susan Murphy-Milano, and Janice Levinson and Claudine Dombrowski of the Protective Mothers Alliance.

Tonight Kim Kolton and I will be seeking justice for Jarred Wolfe. The 19-year-old died in Santa Rosa County, Florida on October 5, 2007. At 11 am he was brought to the hospital already deceased by a 26-year-old woman he had partied with the previous night. The woman told hospital staff and later the police that she and Jarred had spent the night in his truck parked in a secluded spot on the farm owned by Jarred’s parents. She said they had fallen asleep and when she awoke in the morning Jarred was unresponsive. Confused, rather than calling 9-1-1 on an available cell phone, she drove past Jarred’s house and on to the home of his 29-year-old cousin, who had been partying with them the previous evening. Unable to get anyone to answer the door, she drove Jarred to the hospital about six miles away. The death was ruled an accident caused by multiple drug intoxication (methadone and ethanol). However, Jarred’s family has developed evidence that the woman’s story not only lacks credibility, much of it is a lie. Was Jarred allowed to die because the people who could have taken action to save him were more concerned about their own culpability for providing him with a fatal dose of drugs and alcohol, than they were about the young man’s life?

Judy Wolfe, Jarred’s mother, will tell us what she believes happened that night and her efforts to get the authorities to aggressively investigate. Also joining us will be renowned private investigator Vito Colucci.
