ABOUT YOUR HOST
Hey there Rainbow Warriors, it's C.J.! Thanks for dropping by to visit! I identify as a lesbian soft butch if I have to label my identity. My pronouns are she/her. I've been a fan of true crime stories for a long time, but have only discovered True Crime Podcasts within the last six or seven years.
I worked with children for over half my life and loved it, but gratefully retired early to start a new journey in life, which has included living in Hawaii for a bit, Louisiana, back to my original home of Northern California and now I'm on the coast of Oregon. My hobbies are podcasting and being the founder of my own podcast network (which is a lot more work than I thought it'd be but well worth it)!
I also enjoy crafting, cooking, music, Netflix, hiking, playing sports and board games. This is starting to sound like an ad for a dating site....I like long walks on the beach, sunsets and dancing in the rain! Ha! No really, I do like those things. And I love watching planes land and take off during sunset. I'm not sure why, but I have a fascination with planes. They are so...big and from further away, look so graceful in the air. I like flying a lot too and travelling. For now my only fur baby is a 19 year old cat named Cali. I lost my best friend and doggy furbaby Nilla the end of January 2024, and after losing my mom, dad, and brother, it's been one of the hardest things I've had to go through.
What Makes My Day?
When I get a sweet message from a Rainbow Warrior. Or if I happen to look at my reviews and I get a 5 star from someone. I mean c'mon, who doesn't like a little appreciation now and again?
But if you have constructive criticism, please DM me with it. It is really hard on the self esteem to get a one star review with the comment "Just horrible narration" or "murder porn"... Those types of comments don't help me improve. "Horrible Narration" why? What needs to change? There was no more detail than that... "Murder Porn" What the fuck is murder porn? A snuff film with sex? And on Apple reviews I'm not allowed to respond to these comments. "hate the background music", comments like that are helpful because I can do something about it. "too many ads", it's how I make a tiny bit of revenue but at least with a comment like that I can address it and explain why. I can also recommend they become a Patreon Member where the episodes are ad free! Thanks!

Subject: Urgent Call to Action: Thorough Investigation into the Death of Alex VanDalsen
Dear [Government Official's Name],
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you today as a concerned citizen, seeking your urgent attention to a matter of grave importance. The purpose of this correspondence is to bring to your attention the suspicious circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Alex VanDalsen, a young trans man from Lafayette, Indiana. It has come to my attention that the police investigation into Alex VanDalsen's death was insufficient, failing to adequately address the available evidence and leaving his grieving mother, Jennifer VanDalsen, with unanswered questions. Despite the evidence suggesting foul play, the case was swiftly deemed a suicide, causing further anguish and distress to the family and friends of Alex.
I implore you to use your esteemed position to bring together the necessary resources, both manpower and expertise, to reevaluate the evidence and explore all possible leads that may shed light on the true circumstances surrounding Alex's passing. By doing so, not only will justice be served, but it will also restore faith in our law enforcement agencies and demonstrate our commitment to protecting the rights and lives of every individual in our community. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the importance of providing Jennifer VanDalsen and her family with the support and empathy they deserve during this difficult time. The lack of transparency and communication from the authorities has only deepened their sense of loss and frustration. I kindly request that you ensure they receive the necessary updates on the progress of the investigation, promptly addressing any concerns they may have.
Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I kindly request that you keep me informed regarding any developments or actions taken in response to this call to action. Together, we can strive for a society where every life is valued and justice is served.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

Christopher needs Justice - The Man Who Killed Him Just Walk
Season 9 Episode 12
January 2020, newlywed Christopher McKinney was having a night out with some friends, as his husband was entertaining visiting friends from high school. Christopher and his friends when out to dinner and then to Nowhere Bar in Louisville, Kentucky for drinks and dancing. Christopher had gotten completely intoxicated, and although he was struggling to walk, he took himself to the coat check area to try and claim his jacket. But unfortunately he lost his claim ticket and the coat check girl called security. Security threw Christopher out and one security guard used a MMA style hit on Christopher, knocking him to the ground and killing him.
