How did Ashley Flowers become interested in true crime?
Ashley Flowers. I am jazzed to talk a little bit of true crime. Kim and I, we are obsessed. I don't know how healthy this is to be that obsessed. You want to put your tinfoil hat on. I say crime junkies are born, not made. If I could build a moat, I would have a moat with alligators. Our brains, like, love a mystery. How is someone here one second, gone the next? I don't think the story we've gotten is the real story at all. No. In my gut, do I think she's alive? I do. This is insane that it's not getting any traction. Right now, I'm working on like the weirdest catfishing story. In today's day and age, the fact that we're still catfishing. Do you think this ever turns into an unhealthy obsession? I wanted to find a way to give back.
We're not just telling these stories. We're working with law enforcement. We're working with families. Do you ever get afraid like maybe I said too much? The dark shit happens in the shadows. Yes, it does. this could go off the rails. Sort of fine with too. Thank you for coming here today.
What unique catfishing story is Ashley currently investigating?
I'm so excited to sit and talk to you. Thank you. I am jazzed to talk a little bit of true crime. I am so excited. So I Want you, if you can just tell the audience, how did you get into true crime? I say crime junkies are born, not made. True.
What are the dangers of obsession with true crime?
Very true. There was never a moment or a case. I don't have a personal experience. My mom was a crime junkie. her mom before her. So I feel... Generational. Seriously, I feel like I just, like, grew up in it. And, you know, it started when I was young with, like, we were reading Nancy Drew and then Agatha Christie. And then I feel like the first time I really, like, got into true crime as opposed to fiction is we were, me and my best friend Britt, who I do the show with, we were tabloid height when JonBenet happened. And for us to realize, like, oh, my gosh, this could happen, happen to someone our age that looks like us, and it was so big. And so... That's when that's when like this whole other world opened up.
And I have just been obsessed ever since. I can't help it.
How does Ashley Flowers help solve cold cases?
So my sister Kim and I, we are obsessed. And I don't know how healthy this is to be that obsessed. And I was so much more obsessed before I had my daughter. And I think that you've gone the other way. So I went the other way for a minute. I was like, I need a break, or I was very choosy with the true crime I would watch. It could have nothing to do with kids. Yeah, so many moms tell us, they're like, if it's a kid episode, like, I can't listen. Yep. Which, like, I totally get, because I've got a daughter now, and I think that it, like, it... Doesn't it change, don't you think? Your view of the world, I think, completely changes.
What challenges do families face when a loved one goes missing?
But I keep telling everyone... I feel like I was actually pushed more towards listening. Like, it was definitely harder. But the same reason I listened to everything else, it's like, I can't protect her if I don't know what to protect her from. Before, when I used to watch True Crime, there's not even a thought that any of this would happen to me. Really? Never. I'm like, I will fuck all those people up. Everyone's going to find me. Like, it just, it wasn't a thought. When you have kids, then you're like, okay, at least for me. The world is so dark. It's so scary. Everyone is so messed up. And I'm not going to put myself in any of these situations. I'm going to have all the security I can, like the alarm systems, the shattering glass.
I have so many things that... I don't think I had an alarm when before I had kids. Like, who knows? There's no way you didn't have an alarm. Well, I don't know. I'm probably exaggerating. I'm probably exaggerating. But the thought I put into things now, it is Fort Knox. If I could build a moat, I would have a moat with alligators and great whites.
How does the justice system affect families of victims?
I keep telling people I want to recreate. Did you watch The Village, the M. Night Shyamalan movie? No. Why has no one seen The Village? Is this a horror movie? Yeah. Yeah, because he's horror. I don't do horror. I can do true crime. I don't want you to like scare me. Like a boo. I can do suspense.
