*The Mercer County Prosecution Office has informed us that another hearing was scheduled for the week after this show released, January 12-16, but has been continued due to a conflict with one of the Defense Attorney's schedules.

Fifteen years have passed since Crystal Cantrell was brutally murdered, fifteen years of grief, unanswered questions, and postponed justice. In this emotionally charged episode, Erica and Kevin Tessner, Crystal’s sister and brother-in-law, join me in the studio to share her story, her light, her life, and the pain that’s been left behind.

There’s been an arrest. A mugshot. Promises of trial. And yet, justice has been delayed again and again. This episode is a memorial and a plea, for truth, for closure, and for anyone who may know something to come forward.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This conversation contains disturbing details of violence and loss. Please take care of your mental health before listening.
