As we arrive at Valentine's Day a few true crime creators and I decided to share a case that we found, based off of the title of a Taylor Swift song... This is "Maroon" by Santa Maybe, a Criminal. A few notes: Take care while listening to this podcast. It discusses criminal activity, including violence, abduction, and murder sometimes involving children. Any opinions in these episodes are solely the opinions of the creators telling the story Suspects mentioned in these tales are considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. And these are real stories about real people. The most important thing we can do to honor the victims and their loved ones in these cases is to play an active role in our criminal justice system, remain vigilant in understanding our surroundings, and support organizations that work to make sure that stories like this remain the exception and not the rule.  Podcasters contributing to this collaboration include: True Crime Connections Murder and Mimosas Deep Dark Secrets Extinguished and of course Santa Maybe, a Criminal.
