Interview with Lashanda, daughter of Beth Ann Ricketts

We were so lucky to be able to speak with Lashanda, the daughter of Beth Ann Ricketts. If you haven't yet listened to our episode on the case Beth Ann Ricketts, who went missing in December of 1997, we encourage you to do that first! Lashanda gives us some enlightening additional details to the case and the events that led up to her mother's disappearance, as well as the aftermath. We talk about how the case was mishandled from the beginning, how Lashanda was able to reignite interest in her mom's case, how this traumatic event has affected her and her family, and one man's suspicious actions. A big thank you to Lashanda for spending your precious time sharing with me, and for trusting us!
