This week on case files, Andrea is joined by Detective Mike Weber, a crimes against children investigator and long-time friend/contributor to the show, to discuss the Jesika Jones case. Detective Mike is called onto this case in mid-2022 after Jesika brings her 4 year old daughter into Cook Children’s Hospital multiple times for an alleged seizure disorder. As the case evolves, Mike learns just how compulsive an offender who is allowed to walk can truly be. *** Links/Resources: Preorder Andrea and Mike’s new book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy Click here to view our sponsors.

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. A reminder that we are also on YouTube these days. So if you would like to see my face, you can check us out there.
And as always, if you want more, you can subscribe on Apple or Patreon. You will get ad free listening and you will get every episode of season five in the first week of January right when it launches. Also, Dr. Bex and I do two bonus episodes a month over there on our After Hours subscriber-only show. This month, we are covering the Menendez Brothers saga.
This is a story that has been back in the headlines recently and which actually has quite a bit in common with much of what we talk about here on the show. We also have a free tier on Patreon where you can listen to some sample episodes to see if you like it. So do go check that out. And if monetary support is not an option, rating and reviewing also helps a great deal.
With that, enjoy the show and happy holidays. Just a quick reminder that my new book, The Mother Next Door, Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy, is on sale right now wherever books are sold. The book was an Amazon editor's pick for nonfiction, and the Seattle Times called it a riveting deep dive into MVP.
And if you are an audiobook lover and you like hearing my voice, which I'm assuming you do since you're listening here... You should know that I narrate the audio book as well. If you have already read the book, which I know so many of you have, thank you so much.
Please let me know your thoughts and questions at helloandnobodieshouldbelieveme.com and we will bring my co-author, Detective Mike Weber, on for a little book Q&A and post-retirement tell-all special. Thanks for your support. Thank you so much for being back here on the podcast.
You are a longtime friend of the pod and you are also my co-author on our upcoming book, The Mother Next Door, which is coming out next year. So we're doing- Finally, finally. Finally, yeah. We've been working on it for a while, a couple of years, but it's like been a couple of long years. A lot has happened. So we will surely be seeing you again soon.
