The most epic birthday campaign of all time is now here. Watch Power's 10-year birthday offers on Power.fi. I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background systems and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.

Now guys, today's case. Oof. I have a lot of thoughts, and I am so excited to hear all of your feedback as well, because this case is just absolutely crazy. I don't even know how to say it. I have so many thoughts and so many questions still, and there's part of me that wonders, could the jury have gotten it wrong here? Now, we're going to be talking about the murder of Barbara Kendhammer.
And I couldn't believe I had never heard of this case. I actually found it in my members-only request form. So thank you to whoever submitted this case because, wow, I have just been... Mind blown and stumped by this one, to say the least. Now, I'm using the term murder based off of a guilty verdict. Someone is serving time for Barbara's murder today, her husband. However, if you were to ask their children, they would tell you that the jury got it all wrong. Before getting into this episode, I just wanted to thank you all for listening to and supporting my show and also any of the Mile Higher Media shows. Your support makes it possible for us to continue funding grants through my foundation, Higher Hope, which supports victims of violent crimes, their families, and like-minded nonprofits.
And with that, let's get into today's case. As I said, today I'm going to be telling you guys about Barbara Kenthammer, who was born on March 4th, 1970, and was born as Barbara Adams in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to her parents Merlin and Joyce. Growing up, Barbara was said to be an extremely bright young person, very caring also. She was known throughout her life to fill her time doing things that brought her joy and brought others joy. She specifically loved crafts. She loved camping. She loved tending to her garden and taking care of her animals. And I think people who gravitate towards hobbies like that and have that sort of natural caretaking ability, even when it comes to plants and animals, obviously her children too.
just end up being the most salt of the earth people around us. And Barbara certainly seemed that way. Now, like I said, she does have children and above all else, her family was absolutely the most important pillar in her life. Now, Barbara was actually only 16 years old when she met Todd Kenthammer, her future husband, and he says that it was love at first sight. He described it as a picture book moment where just looking at Barbara was enough to know that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Now, the two of them started off as friends, but in 1989, they officially started dating, and on August 3rd of 1991, they tied the knot in West Salem, Wisconsin. And then soon after that, they welcomed their daughter, Jessica, followed by their son, Jordan, both of whom described their parents' relationship as something out of a fairy tale.
And as far as arguments go, their kids, their friends, and other family members say they never witnessed any arguments, just two people in love for the two and a half decades that they were married. In fact, in August of 2016, on their 25th wedding anniversary, Jessica and Jordan threw their parents a surprise party to celebrate their love. I also threw my parents a surprise 25th wedding anniversary party, and they got divorced a few months later, so that's great.
