Into the Smoke: The Murder of Ronli Ratliff

Correction: Ronli Ratliff's body was discovered beside a couch, not atop a couch.

In the early morning hours of April 15, 2004, firefighters discovered a body of a young woman in a house in Indiana's Morgan County. That young woman was 24-year-old Ronli Ratliff. Investigators quickly determined that she had been the victim of a homicide, but no one has ever been charged with her murder. All these years later, her aunt Kim Sink is still fighting for justice. In this episode, we'll hear from her.

You know we love mysteries, so here’s the hook. Lily has the opportunity of a lifetime: inheriting her late great-aunt Mary’s property, where she spent many happy hours as a child. The catch? She has to renovate the rundown place in 30 days. As she goes about seeking to meet that challenge, Lily will meet new friends and romance new neighbors, all the while learning more about the mysterious property and her own family’s secrets.

Lily’s Garden is s match-2 puzzle game with over 8,000 levels. You play each puzzle by matching and collecting flowers. As you earn stars, you can renovate your gardens. It’s incredibly satisfying to design your own spaces. Plus you’ll never get bored because this garden is growing — adding on 40 new levels each week.

This game is terrific. The storyline and the gameplay pair nicely together. It’s fun to get to design your own gardens. There are no pop-up ads.

We just started and I’ve already breezed onto level six. Recently, we had to wait for some documents at a county clerk’s office, and so I was playing Lily’s Garden while we waited. It’s helped my patience a lot, and it’s a nice breather slash mental health break. I really enjoy matching the flowers – there’s something super satisfying about solving these colorful puzzles.
