I mean, it's terrifying learning about these cases and

These women never thought what happened to them would happen.

You know, it was just never a thought for them when they put on their shoes and left on their run that they wouldn't be coming home.

We'll, of course, talk more about this later.

We'll talk more about personal safety and runner safety.

But first, of course, I want to start out by talking about Sydney because, wow,

What an amazing young woman.

Sydney Claire Sutherland was born on September 18th, 1995 in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

And she was the youngest child and only daughter to her parents, Maggie and Dion.

She had two big brothers, Tyler and Sam.

And she was actually the only girl on both sides of her family, which made her extra special.

They all said that she was sort of the boss and the glue of their family, keeping them together.

And from everything I read, there's just no end to how great of a person she was.

Her loved ones have shared so many things about her online that have made it really quite easy to see how big of a heart Sydney had.

And she was just someone who seemed to have loved unconditionally.

She was sort of a natural born caretaker.

In fact, she actually went into nursing right out of high school.

And I think that was the perfect time.

perfect career choice for her.

She got her LPN license, and then she went on to get her RN license at ASU Newport shortly after that.
