  • It is Past Time

    My heart goes out to the lovely Westbrook family. It is so unfair to put them through so many years of no answers. Keep fighting and I feel sure you will get there soon. It is time for JUSTICE!

Podcasts get publicity through professional journalism; not creating opportunities for ... more

    I would also like to express my absolute appreciation to Kim, the first person on the scene. Your courage in recounting what you witnessed, despite the obvious emotional impact it has had on you, is remarkable. Thank you for speaking up and continuing to seek the truth.
