What is the tragic case of AJ Hadsell?
Hello, everyone, and welcome to True Crime with Kendall Rae. Thank you so much, as always, for joining me this week. And if you are new, then welcome. Well, guys, I just got to say right off the bat that today's case has left me with a heart full of rage. Like, the more I... resources case the more I learned the more pissed off I became. I actually found this case through one of you guys through my members only request form and I was surprised I had never heard of it but I was just completely shocked as I was going through the details of this one. Today we're going to be going over the case of AJ Hadsell and this episode is going to go up quite close to the date that she disappeared actually so I thought it would be a good time to tell you about her story. And if you haven't already heard this case, I promise you, as you start hearing these details, you're going to feel just as angry as I am. I mean, every case makes me angry.
I've been kind of in a mood lately, so maybe that's why I'm even more angry than normal. But this one just really sent me over the edge. I was completely blown away. So I want to get into it. Before I do, though, I did want to mention that our Higher Hope Impact Report is now available on our website, higherhope.org. And that's for 2024, which we did launch the foundation in September. So it was only four months worth, but I'm really proud of everything that we did. And we're being super transparent about where everything is. every donation is going how every dollar is being spent and who it's supporting so you can see all of that at our website and i would love for you to take a look and if you are interested we would really appreciate any support that you can give us there's a way to donate on the website and you know whatever amount is helpful to us i know that a lot of people aren't in a place to donate and
That's totally fine. Just by supporting my content, you are enabling me to put more and more into the foundation and essentially help more people. But if you are able and interested in supporting our foundation, there is a way to donate. And we will be very, very grateful as we have some big plans for 2025, already some great grants in the works and projects. And I'm excited to see what we do this year. So once again, thank you, guys. This would not be possible without you. But anyway, let's go ahead and dive into this case, guys, because... I've got a lot to say.
Who was AJ Hadsell and what was her family background?
So, Angelica Marie, or AJ as everyone called her, was born on August 9th, 1996 in Chesapeake, Virginia to her mother, Jennifer, and she would go on to have three younger half-sisters and one younger half-brother. Her biological father was never in the picture, and the first part of her young life, it was just her and her mom. However, when AJ was two years old, her mom ended up meeting the man who would eventually become her stepfather, Zach Hoffer. And the story of how her mother met Zach is actually really interesting. Her and AJ were driving through Wyoming when suddenly their car blew a tire, skidded to the side of the road, and then did a flip. Luckily, the car landed right side up, but Zach happened to be just driving by and witnessed the whole thing. So he pulled over and rushed over to help them. Luckily, nobody was hurt besides a small cut on AJ's wrist. And yeah, that is how they met. That is their origin story. I thought that was kind of cool, like pretty serendipitous.
