What is the Jesika Jones case about?
True Story Media. Hello, it's Andrea and we are bringing you this week's episode one day early in case you have a long drive ahead of you or just some extra downtime this week. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate and while I'm at it, thank you for all of your support. It is the fact that you keep tuning in that lets me keep doing this work and I'm very grateful. Today, we are sharing the first episode in our new Case Files miniseries about the Jessica Jones case out of Texas. This week, we're on with Detective Mike Weber, friend of the show and frequent contributor, and we will also be talking to the father in this case. This is a harrowing story, but there is a lot to be learned from it.
And as well as being hard at work on finishing up season five right now, we are in the process of planning our upcoming season of Case Files, So let us know if there's anything you'd like us to cover by sending us an email at hello at nobody should believe me dot com.
