When the newly married Mark and Lori Phillips went out to celebrate their upcoming move to Bismarck in February of 2019, the night did not go according to plan. As they were out at a Wisconsin bar with some friends, Mark became angry at Lori and began shouting at her. The two left the bar and returned home. There the fight continued, prompting Lori to speed away in the couple’s new truck for fear that Mark might hurt her. She slept in an empty parking lot for the night, but when she returned expecting an apology from her husband, she found something far more grim… Special thanks to Lori Gamoke for her bravery, transparency and willingness to speak with us for this episode, as well as Leslie Morgan Steiner for her insights about domestic violence.

When Payment Solutions CEO Geoffrey Biddle was found murdered in his own home, those who knew him were shocked. He had meaningful relationships with his friends, family, and employees, with no known enemies. He was the kind of man who was happy to lend a hand to a neighbor in need. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a trail of fraud, deception, and premeditation leading them straight to jaded ex-employee, Billy Phillips. Stolen checks, suspicious internet searches and a mountain of evidence painted a dark picture of a murderous crime driven by pure greed.

Most of us trust that our legal system will deliver the right judgments and hold those who commit heinous crimes accountable. That trust extends to the support we expect to follow — the assumption that resources will be available after an unexpected tragedy. But the unfortunate truth is that not everyone is afforded these privileges, making the path to recovery and closure all the more complicated for survivors of violent crime who are left to pick up the pieces on their own. For the family of 70-year-old David Flaget, that journey was filled with obstacles. They were ultimately forced to take matters into their own hands in seeking justice after their beloved grandfather was murdered in a situation that was entirely preventable. Special thanks to Brittney and Tamber for taking the time to talk with us and tell us about their Grandpa Dave.
