Have you ever felt the chill of a mystery that remains unsolved, especially one that hits close to home? Today's episode peels back the layers of Lauren Smith Fields' untimely death, a case that sparks a crucial conversation on racial bias in media coverage and police investigations. We're not just recounting a story; we're igniting a dialogue about the disparities that black women like Lauren and Brenda Lee Rawls face when tragedy strikes. With the vocal support of celebrities like Cardi B, it's time we ask why some victims' stories are echoed across headlines while others barely whisper.

The details of Lauren's last night, after meeting someone through a dating app, are as perplexing as they are heart-wrenching. We share the distress of her family, who were met with a note and an  indifferent police force more apt to dismiss their concerns than to dig for the truth. Their tenacious pursuit for answers uncovered missed evidence and eventually led to the replacement of the detective initially assigned to Lauren's case. Through this narrative, we pay tribute to Lauren's life and dreams, while scrutinizing the investigative missteps that add to her family's agony.

 The fight for justice for Lauren and Brenda continues, as I detail the suspension of detectives and the legal endeavours that call for accountability in these heartbreaking incidents. Join me, get involved, and be part of a community that demands fairness and transparency, because every story deserves to be heard – and every family deserves answers.
