Melissa & Whitney had the opportunity to once again join Charlie on Crimelines. The three have a discussion about Doris Alliotts and Joan Davis. Two elderly women who were both brutally murdered in their homes before the houses were set ablaze.

In March 2003, 7-year-old Dalton Mesarchik waited for a church bus that never came. But someone picked him up that day–someone with evil intent. Twenty years later, his family is still waiting for justice.

Action Oriented Advocacy with Cults, Crimes and Cabernet It starts with Ethics - ethics is to be empathetic toward victims and respectful of the fact that these are real things that have happened - these are the worst days of someone’s lives. To advocate is to put yourself in the shoes of the victim or survivor. Is there a call to action? Participate. Is there a fundraiser? Donate and share. Petition? Sign it and share why the petition is important. Is there a search party? Not everyone can make it to things like that, but if you can, volunteer! Take a listen to this much needed conversation with ways that you, whether creator or listener, can advocate on behalf of the bees. To ALL victims and survivors - thank you. We admire your strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. We advocate and stand WITH and for you. Never stop telling your story. Let’s continue applying pressure. Thank you for your bravery.
