Six Seasons: What We've Learned, What Comes Next

This episode is the finale for the broadcast.  After six seasons and 144 episodes it is bidding adeau.  It's not because the need has been addressed.  It's not because I've lost heart.  It is because of the progressive hearing loss I've been trying to find work-arounds for but realized it has meant repeated replays, editing issues and so forth.So, this episode will provide an overview of the mission and some of the guests who helped bring that to fruition.  To all of you who have supported this effort, who have listened, commented and shared. Thank  you .And don't forget I'm working on a national homicide survivor conference slated for September 11 - 13 in 2026 in Gig Harbor, Washington.  If you would like to be on the mailing list, please contact me as aftermath.of.homicide@gmail.comAnd, don't forget I'm active on Tik Tok and keep a blog up to date on my website:  jancantyphd@gmail.com

You should come in."  It was then she heard the hard truth.  Not only had LaMont washed up on the banks of the East River eight days after he went missing, but he was identified.  But that was the end of the investigation. No one made an attempt to reach out to his family. This episode shines a light on situations like LaMont's as well as offers five strategies of what to do about it.
