Britney Hardwick was shot in the early morning of Saturday December 12th in the driveway of a home where she knew the occupants. There is more information out there and it needs to come to light.

If you have any information call:
The Cleveland police homicide unit at 216-623-5464 

Britney was one of the 1,821 black women and girls killed in 2020.

In 2020, black women had the highest risk of homicide - FOUR time higher than the rates of white and latina women.
ALL of these groups represent a failure in our society - NONE of these women regardless of their race or ethnicity should be victims of violence.
But it is important to highlight the groups who are not only disproportionately affected, but also receive less spotlight on their cases, and unfortunately whose cases are more likely to go unsolved…cases just like Britney’s.

The Case:
In today's episode Heather and Rachel discuss the 2014 murder of Sameena Imam, a respected and beloved regional marketing manager for Costco in the United Kingdom. Smart, successful, and deeply valued by those around her, Sameena’s life was tragically cut short by those she trusted. 
Her relationship with Roger Cooper, a Costco warehouse manager, turned deadly when she demanded he leave his long-term partner. Along with his brother David Cooper, Roger carefully planned and carried out Sameena’s murder, using deception, coded messages, and calculated steps to cover their tracks.
The brothers were ultimately arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison.

This episode also reflects on the importance of gratefulness and balance, and how moments of reflection can exist even while confronting heartbreaking truths.

MISSING IN HUSH TOWN:The Disappearance of Bethany Markowski

In March 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Leanne Markowski vanished without a trace during a scheduled visit with her father. He claims she walked into the Jackson, Tennessee mall — and then she was simply gone. No witnesses. No confirmed sightings. No answers.

Now, more than two decades later, Missing In Hush Town returns for a powerful second season to re-examine Bethany’s case with fresh ears and renewed urgency. Working alongside Bethany’s family, retired and current law enforcement, journalists, and those who have never stopped searching, this season digs deep into the events leading up to her disappearance, the early investigative missteps, and the haunting question that still hangs over Hush Town:Where is Bethany Markowski?

Join us as we trace Bethany’s story, amplify the voices of those who love and miss her, and uncover new perspectives that may help bring her home.
