  • Shawn Moore & Kenneth Myers Cases

    Thorough and Thoughtful Podcast. Thank You for covering the Michigan cases in your most recent episode. I grew up in Brighton and Ronald Bailey was definitely the bogey man to us back then. I am looking forward to reading the book by your guest when it comes out next month. The possible connection to the Oakland county child murders is very interesting. I hope someday those cases can be solved as well.

Faith restored, unfortunately too many years behind bars that will never restored to three men/b... more
