Hello Ashley & Brit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Liv, and I\u2019ve been a listener since 2019! I\u2019m writing to you because I believe your podcast saved my life the other day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was flying into Connecticut from Virginia alone. My flight was delayed, so I didn\u2019t land until 2am. It\u2019s a small airport, so at 2am, there are almost no staff members around. I was walking to get my rental car when I noticed a man was following me. He started making small talk as he noticed my backpack, which indicated I worked in healthcare. He started asking me questions like \u201cWhere do you work?\u201d \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d \u201cAre you visiting or do you live here?\u201d They all seemed so mundane, right? But as we Crime Junkies know, this could be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of what I learned from your podcast, I never gave him any information. I kept my answers vague and moved to places where people were. I got my husband on the phone and put him on speaker phone, but the man kept following me. When I found out they gave away my rental car, the man (who was still following me) asked \u201cWhere are you trying to get to?\u201d That\u2019s when I became RUDE! I told him, \u201cYou are making me uncomfortable, get away from me. I have my husband on the phone and multiple people tracking my location and waiting for me.\u201d I was loud and caused a scene to get people to notice. He then backed up and said \u201coh, I didn\u2019t realize you had someone on the phone.\u201d And he left. I had airport workers stay with me until I got a ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
True crime is so much more than storytelling. It keeps us alive and safe. Because of you, I have learned so much about how to keep myself safe and to watch for all warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe this guy was innocent, but I had to keep asking myself, \u201cWhat if he wasn\u2019t?\u201d I truly believe your podcast kept me alive that day. I am so thankful for what you do for women and the community. Because of you, I can write to you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was weird, I was rude, and because of Crime Junkie, I\u2019m alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
