The Brandon Lawson Update and Action Oriented True Crime with Cults, Crimes, and Cabernet
Today's episode featured Melissa and Whitney from the Cults, Crimes, and Cabernet podcast. Their team along with 6 other volunteers, including friend of the show Jason Watts, volunteered to search for Brandon Lawson in January 2022. After almost nine years of searching for Brandon, the team discovered items likely to belong to him. When authorities later searched they found human remains, also likely to have belonged to Brandon. Join me, Whitney, and Melissa as we discuss how we met, their pivot to creating more action oriented true crime, and this incredible discovery. The needs of the Lawson family are unclear at this time. However, the proceeds of this episode will be withheld in the event they need funds for a funeral or further investigative services.

Jelani Day
Today I am discussing the case of 25-year-old Jelani Day from Bloomington, Illinois. Jelani was last seen leaving the Beyond/Hello Dispensary around 9:20am on August 24th, 2021. His body was later recovered an hour away in Peru, Illinois on September 4th. Jelani’s official cause of death is listed as drowning. Authorities are hesitant to say that foul play was involved in Jelani’s death, but his family and many others are certain it was. Especially since Jelani was a black man found deceased in a city with a long history of racism. This is the case of Jelani Day. #WhatHappenedToJelaniDay Anyone with information about Jelani’s disappearance or death is urged to contact their local FBI office or submit an anonymous tip online at tips.fbi.gov Follow his family on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Justice-for-Jelani-Day-109701681441798 Sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/sign-this-petition-to-bring-justice-for-jelani-demand-that-the-fbi-intervenes-to-find-out-what-happened-to-jelani-day Donate to the GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/find-jelani-day?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com Don't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for Justice Podcast & SarahETurney Join the Patreon family to get instant access to a library of extra content, support the show, and support these cases https://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice Voices for Justice is a podcast that uses adult language and discusses sensitive and potentially triggering topics including violence, abuse, and murder.

Amber Hagerman
Today I am discussing the case of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman. In 1996 Amber was riding her bike in a parking lot in Arlington, Texas, just a few blocks from her grandparents' home when a man grabbed her from the bike, threw her in his truck and drove away in broad daylight. 4 days later Amber’s body was recovered from a nearby creek. After 26 years of frustration, Amber’s family and law enforcement are imploring the public to continue to share Amber’s case and Amber’s mother is begging for people to see her daughter as more than just the girl who inspired the Amber Alert. Anyone with information is urged to call Arlington detectives at 817-575-8823.

Desiree Gibbon
Today I am discussing the case of 26 year old Desiree Gibbon. Desiree was murdered in 2017 over Thanksgiving weekend and found about 20 minutes away from her grandmother’s hotel in Jamaica. Desiree spent almost every summer growing up at this very hotel so when she was found murdered not only were her parents devastated but they were also completely shocked. After taking a closer look at the circumstances, her mother is sure that the perpetrator is someone that knew her and lured her away.

Adam Castillo
Today I am discussing the case of 21 year old Adam Castillo from Wilcox, Arizona. On the night of Saturday, September 13th, 2008 Adam went to a party in the desert with about 30 other people and was never seen again. Rumors began to swirl in the small town and the sheriff’s office actually shut down the local high school for an entire day just to conduct interviews and see if they could figure out what happened in the desert that night. But, 13 years later the case has gone cold and we still don’t know how Adam Castillo disappeared. If you have any information about the disappearance of Adam Castillo, please call The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office at 520-803-3280.
