Violence against sex workers is devastatingly much more common than one may initially believe.

In 2004, Julie Murray's younger sister, Maura, seemingly vanished into thin air driving from UMass Amherst to New Hampshire. Julie and her family have spent the last eighteen years searching for their missing loved one. Today, Julie shares with us so much wisdom: from how to responsibly consume true crime content to the benefits of bringing cold cases to TikTok platforms. Julie is such a wonderfully kind and smart woman who is devoted to finding her younger sister. We loved having the opportunity to speak with her, and we know you'll enjoy the conversation too! To learn more about Maura's case, please visit mauramurraymissing.com. Additionally, Julie has a TikTok (@mauramurraymissing) where she shares more about her sister and details related to her sister's case.

In 2008, Megan Lebron's 21 year-old sister, Skye, seemingly disappeared. She booked a one-way ticket to Japan and left no clues as to why she left nor where she wanted to go. In 2021, Megan created a TikTok account to not only share her sister's case, but discuss her own mental health journey and surviving a traumatic life event. Her account has garnered thousands of followers, and for good reason: she's empathetic, intelligent, and makes you feel like you're talking with a friend. We are so honored today to be joined by Megan as we talk about everything from Japanese visas to Blockbuster. Megan has a podcast of her own (Surviving Skye) where she candidly shares more about her own story as well. Thank you, Megan, for joining us today -- we cannot thank you enough!
