November 10, 2019 / 01:55

This episode discusses the Angie Dodge murder case, advances in DNA technology, and the GoFundMe initiative called Five for Hope.

Carol Dodge shares her journey in seeking justice for her daughter Angie, who was murdered 23 years ago. She highlights the role of technology from Jenny Ology in identifying the suspect.

Carol reflects on the concept of closure, noting that while it brings some resolution for her family, it opens up questions for others with unsolved cases.

The episode emphasizes the lack of funding for DNA testing in many unsolved cases and introduces the Five for Hope initiative, aimed at raising funds to support DNA testing for families seeking justice.

Listeners are encouraged to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign to help provide funding for DNA testing, which can lead to closure for other families.
