On this episode, we’ll introduce a long-time colleague in the investigative arena, Agent EsJay, who will be joining the pod. No stranger to the world of fighting fraud, Agent EsJay wields a delicate and compassionate approach to getting to the truth. Together, we’ll investigate two new legal stories out of South Louisiana - a girl interrupted and a boy litigated.

The first is the story of 9-year-old boy Grayson Burns whose relationship with his non-biological mother was deemed not legally binding earlier this month. To Grayson, Crystal Walker has only ever been “mom”, and now she’s been ordered out of his life by a judge. A problem with existing case law in Louisiana is to blame. Will Grayson ever see his mom again? 

The second is the story of 22-year-old Ember Ware. On September 1, 2022, Ember Ware committed a felony hit and run that took the life of Albert Crochet in Crowley, Louisiana. When she got out of jail, she was arrested again in less than 2 weeks for stabbing two people at a local grocery store. Facts at hand appear to show Ember Ware was bound to murder. This episode will begin to explore what makes a 22-year-old girl homicidal and what lessons may be learned to avoid this in the future.
