Don Vanderschoot is a father who never expected to become an advocate. But when his 17-year-old daughter Justine was murdered by her boyfriend and his roommate, silence was no longer an option.
In this episode, Don speaks with Tamara Musolino about the weight of loss, the systems that failed Justine, and the quiet resolve it takes to pursue truth and dignity in the face of devastation.
This conversation is foundational. It helped shape the GPS framework—Guide, Process, Support—and sparked the creation of Victim Justice Unveiled.
Don’s voice is steady, his grief is sacred, and his commitment to justice is unwavering. This is his story. This is Justine’s legacy.
