This week’s story involves a child who was murdered in a tragic, horrific way, and because of the nature of this crime, please be advised, especially if you have young ears listening, that the details surrounding this case are graphic and may be disturbing.

It's DVAM (Domestic Abuse Awareness Month) this October, so we have a throwback for you this week. In March of 2020, Gretchen Anthony began sending texts to family and friends telling them she had tested positive for Covid-19. There was still so much unknown about the virus as the entire world began shutting down. Her family became highly concerned when they couldn’t get her on the phone. Many of the texts from Gretchen were filled with poor spelling and grammar. Then she stopped sharing her phone location with her 12 year old daughter. The last text anyone received from Gretchen said she was being transferred to a CDC covid site and would be placed on a ventilator, unable to communicate. After a welfare check at her home by law enforcement, it became clear that someone was using Covid as an alibi to cover up a horrific crime. Join us as we retell this story on Crime Salad where we examine a mind unraveling into paranoia ending in a senseless death of a beloved, Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend, Gretchen Anthony.

Thought this one might never be solved. I am sure the national media attention helped. So relieved it was not someone she knew or any of the people she was with.

I must have missed something. Drams wife killed him and shot herself twice in the head. they were both found in the bedroom, him dead on the floor and she, laying in bed, covered up. if I heard correctly, the gun was found in the living room, under something. did she shoot her husband three times in the bedroom, killing him, then walk into the living room, shoot herself twice behind the ear, then drop the gun, walk into the bedroom and get in bed, covering herself and take a nap? I listen to these podcast while driving to I might have missed something but that woman has to be tough, nuts but tough

I love this podcast, well done :) I do not care to listen to ongoing investigations. I will just skip them, as I do, unsolved cold cases.

she has been found, murdered of course. One of the three men who took her home has since been convicted. The ugly one with the psychopath eyes. I cannot imagine such a beautiful vibrant woman willingly having sex with such an ugly psychopath but oh well whatever.

Murder is still murder. It doesn't matter why unless done in self defense, which planning a double murder does not fit for self defense.

Absolutely full of incorrect details and speculation. 1. The pliers were found in the shed not the boat and they were rusted shut so very likely unrelated.
