“Did you find the body?” a killer asks law enforcement 38 years after his wife went missing. When Gloria Kidder met her future husband at work, little did she know she was also meeting the man who would force her to experience an escalating pattern of violence ending only in her death.

This week we’re joined by Patrisha McLean who started on her journey of activism for women’s rights upon the domestic violence arrest of her then-husband of 29 years, Don “American Pie” McLean. She is the founder and CEO of Finding Our Voices, a Maine sisterhood of survivors bringing light to domestic abuse and to each other, which can be found at FindingOurVoices.net
