I'm your host Ashley Flowers, and I'm dropping in your feed today with a special guest. Hi, everyone. I'm Brianna Whitney. For those of you who don't follow us on social or catch our content on YouTube, first of all, you've been missing out. But second, and importantly, you might not know that Brianna has recently joined the Crime Junkie team as our breaking news reporter. We have, you guys know this, an amazing team of investigative journalists who help me bring you our weekly episodes. Each one of those takes months to produce. And we need a lot of information to cover a story in full length. Nine times out of 10, a lot of investigation means the case has been open or worked for a long time. But I am also constantly following breaking stories. Like, I know you guys are too. I see you in my DMs. I see you in our Facebook group. You want to talk and hear about stories that are unfolding in real time. Well, prayers answered, and Brianna now does a weekly episode on YouTube covering true crime cases that are making headlines. I am crashing her episode today because this is one that I had to talk about with you. Now, regularly, your episodes are very much kind of like my solo episodes. And like, weirdly, people think we kind of look alike, which I hadn't planned. But like, you'll be a comforting presence to our crime junkies. Now, you guys, I have been following Brianna for years. Almost like the same time I started podcasting, you started at Arizona family, right? And deep tracks, I got a personal recommendation about how amazing that you were from Sarah Turney, who told me that if I ever got the chance to hire you, I should jump on it. It took me a couple of years to get you. But I'm so happy that you're here now.
