Advertise on podcast: Sipping on Some Crime

I have not been able to record the podcast where I live, so I pivoted and created a TikTok and YouTube series called 50 State Cold Case, where I feature a state and five cases from that state every week. I wanted to bring the video series to an audio version for podcast listeners, and I have finally had the time to convert them into audio episodes. I plan to drop a new episode for each state each week. The five cases featured this week: Timothy Grant and Goldie Fritz Brenda Bloom Sarah and Carvel Faulkner Deborah Ann Brooks Sheree Magaro Video format can be found on YouTube and TikTok under Sipping on Some Crime 

Today in our weekly series I will be spotlighting 5 cold cases out of Rhode Island.  Cases featured: John Leatherwood Michelle Norris Janine Callahan Rita Bouchard Bryan Nisenfeld 👀You can watch this series tapping YouTube @sippingonsomecrime https://youtube.com/@sippingonsomecrime?si=Jb9FS4ddkowUC2Cu Or on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@sippingonsomecrime?_t=ZP-8yV7n6b2835&_r=1 You can also watch on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/sippingonsomecrime?igsh=MzAweGFtY3A4YWZv&utm_source=qr

Bringing Tiktok episodes to audio for podcast listeners, TikTok video will be linked in show notes Michelle Parker was a 34-year-old single mother of three who vanished in November 2011 under suspicious circumstances after dropping off her twins with her ex-fiancé Dale. In the months leading up to Michelle’s disappearance her ex Dale had taken her to the popular reality show People’s Court to sue her for the cost of an engagement ring he said she lost. On November 17th 2011 the day the episode was set to air Michelle would vanish and as the weeks went on her missing case was quickly turning into a possible homicide investigation and by December of 2011 her ex finance would be named the one and only suspect in her disappearance.  I did a brief breakdown of Michelle’s case but there is so much more information out there and her family has made sure to keep her face in the media. They have asked that we keep sharing her story in hopes they will finally bring Michelle her justice.
