Happy Women's History Month! For this week we want to tell you about 2 women who were really breaking the glass ceilings! Listen along as we tell you about the first 2 women ever to be listed on the FBI Most Wanted List!

Pam: In 1968 20 year old Barbara Mackle was kidnapped from her hotel room in Georgia. She was held captive, buried alive, for 83 hours. Her captors, Gary Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier lead authorities on a manhunt landing Ruth a spot as the first woman ever on the FBI Most Wanted list.

Ronda: 'Mean' Marie Arrington was a force to be reckoned with. She didn't take crap from anyone and she was a fierce mother. Unfortunately, life had not been kind to her and she was determined to provide for her children through any means necessary... even if they were illegal. From murder to fraud, Marie did it all. Say what you want about her, but she earned her spot as the second woman to ever be placed on the FBI Most Wanted List!

In 2020, 543,018 people were reported missing, 59% white and Hispanic, 37% minorities. 37% of missing persons are POC, yet, make up only 13% of the US population. Missing persons cases of Americans of color remain unsolved 4 times longer than those of missing white Americans. When a white person goes missing, the media is also 4 times more likely to report than if the missing person is a person of color.

We want to do our part in helping to spread awareness of those who do not get the attention they deserve. Please join us this week as we dive in to two missing persons cases that you need to hear and that need your help in solving!

Ronda: In 2018, Kierra Coles went missing from South Chicago. She was 3 months pregnant at the time and left no indication that she was unhappy with her life. On the contrary, she had just met several life goals. So what happened to Kierra? She is described as 5'4" and 125lbs. She has black hair and brown eyes and has a tattoo of a heart on her right hand and a tattoo that says “Lucky Libra” on her back.
If you have any information regarding Kierra, please contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 877-8762455.

Pam: Keeshae Jacobs went missing in 2016 in Richmond, VA after telling her mother that she was going to be staying at a friends house and she hasn't been seen since.  Keeshae Jacobs would now  be about 26 years old, when she was last seen she was 5’3, 100 lbs with brown eyes & brown hair, a tattoo of a leaf on her right calf area, two paw print tattoos on her right thigh, a flower tattoo on her right shoulder, and one tattoo on her right hand.
If you have information, call the tip line 804-801-4503 or contact Detective William Thompson at 804-646-3925

Happy Valentines Day!

Pam: I'm bringing you to my town to tell you about a love triangle... a love square? gone wrong! When Steven and Michelle Andrews were murdered, the community of Gateway, Florida was shook. Who would want to kill this seemingly perfect couple? 

Ronda: Teresa Stone was in the most romantic, perfect relationship … except for one thing- it wasn’t with her husband. After a 10 year affair with her pastor, David Love, it was time for things to change. So when Randy Stone ends up dead, police have a pretty great idea of who is responsible. They just need to get them to admit to it.

Pam: Tyler Hadley of Port Saint Lucie, Florida was FINALLY going to have the party that he had been telling his friends about for weeks.  And since this was a sleepy town with nothing to do, his friends were pumped. Little did they know, if they would have only taken the time to look around the house, they may have noticed that something just wasn't quite right. 

Ronda:  Most well known as the youngest killer in all of the UK, Mary Bell murdered two toddlers by the time she was 11 years old. You wouldn't be off base if you said she it was almost as if she liked watching the life drain out of her victims. What could possibly lead such a young girl to do such things, and could she have been a serial killer if she hadn't been apprehended?

Pam-   Florida Man strikes again! Living in Southern Florida, I can tell you that there is no telling what you will find in a canal... but a few lucky people found way more than what they bargained for. Cement, rope, and plants? These officers used some out of the box (or bucket?) thinking to solve this mystery!

When the body of a young male is found chopped up and discarded inside two suitcases, police try an unprecedented method of identification, giving a whole new meaning to the term "head shots".
