Today’s case is one that hits pretty close to home for me. It’s a case that happened in the church of a pastor that I know. This pastor happens to be the Uncle of my best friend of 29 years. I first told this case for The Murder Diaries when we were a baby podcast. My best friend joined and so did her cousin, David, the son the pastor. We’ll be including the phone call we had with him exploring the impact of this case on the community and his family. We’ve grown so much since I first told it and this case is so important me that I want to do better by it. I want to tell it again. This is the case of Jennifer Anne Moore.
