Clarification: Due to poor writing and unclear reading, it sounds like I say Erica Parsons disappeared in 2017 around 20:m 45s. I meant that we should see charges against her adoptive parents in 2017. Erica disappeared in 2011.

Note: True Crime Review is currently a scripted podcast. That means I write out what I intend to say prior to recording. However, I will occasionally add or remove stuff while recording or while editing. So the below isn’t a transcript, just a rough script of what I said in the episode. 

Experiments
This episode contains some of the same experiments I did in Episode 11. Please let me know what you think via the post comments, email, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, or voicemail (another experiment I’ll announce in an upcoming episode) at 724-24-CRIME.

The title: I’ve been trying to put as many victims’ names in the title as I can but at some point it just becomes too long. Once again, I’m focusing the title on the featured cold case. This partially to prevent crazy-long titles and partially to bring extra attention to the featured cold case because most if not all of the other crimes discussed are either under active investigation or have been solved and are awaiting prosecution.
I read the intro this week instead of using the creepy augmented voice I’ve used previously. Back to the creepy voice. I know some people don’t like it, but I do. You can easily skip it if you want.
Once again I’ve inserted bumpers between main segments of the show. It’s a few notes of melancholy, mysterious-sounding strings taken from Ofelia’s Dream by Benjamin Tissot.
No background music in this episode. I did an initial edit with the background music left in, but I find it distracting. It was originally a way to mask the fact that I didn’t have a real mic. Now that I do, I don’t think I need the music anymore.

Intro
Welcome to True Crime Review, an unflinching gaze into the depths of human depravity.
The podcast covers current crime news, updates on cold cases and resources for research and investigation.

Show Updates
Patreon
I officially have THREE Patreon subscribers, and I want to thank Leo, Jan and Deborah for their generous patronage. I’m already working on the first Patreon exclusive episode, which you can get for just a dollar a month. Go to patreon.com/truecrimereview if you’re considering patronage and have a look at all of the rewards.
I want to report that I said I’d do a dance after my first patron, and I did the dance. I decided it was in the best interests of all of us that there would be no video or GIF of that dance, but I wanted to tell you it happened.
Reviews
I’ve had a bunch of five star iTunes reviews since the last episode, so I want to thank those folks, who are Jena-Bug, lanl, Foggy Star, Naty9917 and Lislucy. Five-star reviews help the show get more exposure, so if you think it deserves a positive review, I hope you’ll consider leaving one.
Podcast Recommendation
Twisted Philly is a podcast by Philly native Deana Marie, “about mischief and mayhem in the city of brotherly love.” The show isn’t exclusively about true crime, but it’s featured often
