Oh my god darling you have my bawling 😭❤️ you are the most caring kind person on the planet you feel so deeply for others and it’s so sweet, we love you! Also thank you for recommending this book! I know I have personally messaged you about this before but I will make it somewhat out public; being a survivor and hearing others stories even if it’s not the exact same situation, it’s still help those people feel a little less alone. It’s a feeling I can’t describe almost like the pieces start to fit in place and you start to find help out there learning from others struggles. I love books like these I can’t wait to read it. ❤️
Wow, that one was so tough. So so heartbreaking. So much my mind just cannot make any sense of. Payton your heart is so big and beautiful, I love how you always put the spotlight on the victims and those affected so deeply. You and Garrett just really have such a great thing here. Thank you for sharing.
Richard Emery is another crazy one that didn’t end up on national news. Killed is gf and 2 kids.
Payton, I was crying with you at the end. So heartbreaking 💔
This touches home with me some. My step sister tried to kill our half sister when she was a baby. To this day she still swears she didn’t even with the evidence we still have. It absolutely makes me sick hearing stories like this.
payton, it always mean so much to hear you talk so passionately about the victims families. that’s what i love about your patreon - i know my money is going to organizations that help support individuals going through awful times. knowing this case beforehand, i loved hearing you talk about it in a new light.
I’m so happy you did this story. I requested it. Thank you so much. Best PODCAST EVER..
Adding it now! So sorry about that
Do you have the link to the brothers book listed? I am not seeing it with the other source links. Thanks!
Thank you for being so vulnerable Payton. I wish we could push the message if you HEAR SOMETHING - SAY SOMETHING. Imagine if these friends would have taken him serious the first or even second time he ever said that.
Laughing because it’s my 21st birthday today still living in my hometown and you’re talking about Mark being 21 and living in his hometown… I promise I won’t buy beer for underage teenagers (especially ones who commit heinous crimes)
Best birthday present ever!!! 🥳
IM READY
