Every year, between one in every 1,000 to 2,000 babies is born deaf or hard of hearing. For about 90% of these children, they’re born into hearing families, families who suddenly begin a journey they never expected.
Maxine and Raymond Raffle were one such family. Their daughter, Lonene “Lonnie” was diagnosed as deaf at 18 months old. From that moment forward, they walked beside her as she carved out a life that defied limitation. Lonnie embraced everything, community, friendship, love, motherhood. Her world expanded, even as society tried to shrink it.
Her husband was also deaf. Their children, however, were hearing; what’s known as CODAs: Children of Deaf Adults. For Lonnie’s daughter, Alison, that meant stepping into the role of translator, advocate, and bridge between two worlds, sometimes before she was old enough to truly understand what that meant.
Then, when Alison was just five years old, Lonnie disappeared.
Alison has made it her mission to share her mother’s story. On this show, we always strive to include the voices of those closest to the story. But we also understand the emotional weight that comes with retelling deep personal trauma. When we spoke with Alison, she chose not to be interviewed for this episode, and we fully respect that. Instead, with her permission, we’ve drawn from the interviews she’s previously given, as well as publicly available records and reporting. Alison graciously reviewed the research for accuracy, and gave us her blessing to move forward. What you’ll hear today is shared with her care, her trust, and her enduring hope for justice.
This is Lonnie’s story, and the story of the daughter she was taken from 43 years ago.

In March of 2018, 31-year-old Jennifer Myers was pronounced deceased by EMS at the home of a stranger, from what was later ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her family may never have the answers they so desperately want, but there’s multiple loose ends that show that the investigation into Jen’s death fell short. Will Jen’s case remain closed with a rushed ruling of suicide, or will detectives finally hear the family’s pleas for a reopening of the case and give them the answers they deserve?
If you have any information about the death of Jennifer Myers in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, please contact the Wheat Ridge Police Department or Jen’s family at the Justice for JEN Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Justice4JEN/

Two longtime friends. Meeting for a heart-to-heart talk on a bench in a busy park outside Cleveland, Ohio.
Ten minutes after arriving, their bodies were found. Shot to death in cold blood. In broad daylight.
Six years later, the double homicides remain one of Northeast Ohio's most perplexing cold cases.
No motive. No eyewitnesses. No suspects.
Just two families shattered, left with far more questions than answers.
This is the story of Carnell Sledge and Kate Brown.

A podcast with dismal sound - and instead of shownotes, the listener is being told to "RATE us with 5 stars, REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE"...?! Um, no.
I love this podcast but this was not one of their best episodess. They did a rather poor job of telling Diane Downs' story; they glossed over most of the important parts. The quick, disjointed way the info was presented was rather uncharacteristic.
