Best Friends Amanda and Courtney deep dive into true crime cases with an empathetic standpoint. They focus awareness mainly on lesser known crimes and crimes against those deemed extra vulnerable. Occasionally, the hosts will cover more well known cases due to relevance or a particularly fascinating element. The bees (the honeybee) is seen as synonymous with victims and survivors. We must always protect the bees. We must always let their voices be heard. We must not stifle the buzz of the bees, so bee vigilant, for when you mess with the bees, you get the hive.

S6 BONUS I - Introducing Murder, She Told
Murder, She Told is an award-winning true-crime podcast created and hosted by victim’s advocate, Kristen Seavey, that dives into the lesser-known cold cases and true crime stories from New England and beyond. Murder, She Told uses investigative and detailed storytelling, often weaving in original interviews with the people closest to the case. Rooted in deep research, straightforward narratives, and the victims and their family at the center of every story, Murder, She Told will speak to any listener no matter where they call home.
This is “Ayla Reynolds: 10 Years Later, Part One” from Murder, She Told, hosted by Kristen Seavey. Originally published in December 2021. For Part Two, find Murder, She Told wherever you listen or at the blog below.
Ayla Reynolds was just shy of 2-years-old when her father, Justin DiPietro, called 911 on the morning of December 17th, 2011 in Waterville, Maine to report her missing. His story was that she'd been abducted from her crib in the middle of the night by an unknown intruder while the adults in the house were sleeping. Ayla Reynolds never came back home, and remains missing today. Ayla's disappearance sparked a national media storm, catapulting a grieving mother into the spotlight. Trista Reynolds, who wasn't there the night her daughter went missing, believed she wasn't getting the full story from Ayla's father. Eventually police believed it too, and announced that this was no longer the search for missing child... but rather, foul play. What happened in that house that night?

S6 E10 - Dark Side of the Moon - Find Prisma Reyes
CW/TW - domestic violence, discussion of sex trafficking, missing minorities
Prisma Reyes vanished into thin air on April 17, 2019. Prisma was last seen in Downtown Dallas walking into the Olympus at Ross apartment complex (now named Macallan at Ross) at around 6 pm - her white jeep seen abandoned nearby. She was witnessed on CCTV footage pacing back and forth on her cellphone and making phone calls, close by her ex boyfriend, Ryan’s, apartment near the elevator, just over 3 hours after having lunch with him. She was reported missing after she failed to pick up her son from the babysitter that evening - something Prisma would never do is abandon her only child. The chilling thing about this is that it appears there was nothing off about the day she went missing, at least that’s what WE thought - until we dove in. Is there a red herring within this episode? Any clues that point to what happened to Prisma, or where she is, or what happened? We will explore it all, as well as statistics on missing persons and why this case is an example of why we all need to pay way more attention and diligence to missing minorities.

CW/TW - Sororicide of a child, sexual abuse/assault, discussion of addiction and mental health, and murder.
Ella Bennett was just four years old when she was brutally murdered by her older brother Paris Lee Bennett, an American psychopath. In part two, we will wrap up the crime and sentence, as well as talk about the aftermath, his release date, forgiveness and what Charity, their mom, is up to now. We also remember Ella Bennett because she, as well as her mother, is without a doubt, a bee.

S6 E8 - West Texas Psychopath - the murder of Ella Bennett, part 1
CW/TW - Sororicide of a child, sexual abuse/assault, discussion of addiction and mental health, and murder.
Paris Lee Bennett is an American psychopath who, at 13 years old, engaged in the brutal murder of his younger sister. In part one, we will bring to light some of the psychological aspects of this crime, as well as talk about a few sexual abuse and assault statistics. The monster, as you all will find out, is a psychopath - it’s been noted that he’s also a genius - all of which is a recipe for a cold, murky and very troubling swamp of clues into the world of this horrifying situation.

S6 E7 -- NO MORE BS - Revisiting Justice for Katie Palmer
CW/TW - discussion of reckless driving, sexual abuse/assault, addiction and murder.
A quick recap - Katie Palmer was a 39 year old mother of two. She was a middle school science teacher, who LOVED animals and had a smile that could warm the heart of the most callous human being. It could melt a snowman. She loved ALL of her kids - not just her two children, but also was pretty much a significant source of love for the ones she taught, as well. She truly embodied kindness and her love was pure and honest. One morning, April 21, 2020, she was walking alongside a road with her husband, John Palmer, looking at a particular bird called killdeer when she and John both were struck from behind, knocked out of their shoes and thrown approximately 70 feet. The impact severely injured John, breaking his back - but he had the strength to immediately move to Katie’s side. She was barely hanging on, and we would come to find out that the impact had ended up killing her. Today we will talk to John Palmer and offer up some updates and some ways to actively help obtain justice in this case.

S6 E6 - Are you listening? - Missing: Samantha Tapp
CW/TW - discussion of drugs and mental health
Samantha Tapp, a 16 year old girl who grew up in the system with her sister, Kendale, went missing from her home in Burleson, TX back in 2004 and has since been classified as an endangered runaway. Many believe that those who go missing for long periods of time have in fact succumbed to murder; however for Kendale and Sam’s best friend Vanessa, they believe otherwise. You can’t disregard your gut instinct, because it very rarely, if ever, fails you. Kendale and Vanessa, who will be interviewed for this episode, believes in their gut. To honor the wishes of the two young ladies we will interview, we will not presume that Sam has left the earth realm. We instead will attempt to get answers and possibly reach Sam herself.

S6 E5 - Sexual Abuse Prevention - an interview with Kimberlee Norris of MinistrySafe
CW/TW - Discussion of child abuse/sexual abuse
"SEXUAL ABUSE DOES NOT SKIP ANY PARADIGM" - MinistrySafe
You've likely heard us reference MinistrySafe and Abuse Prevention Systems in past episodes, as Courtney used to work for them. Courtney has always seen the owners of this organization as mentors, because in alot of ways, they have shaped her to be what she is today - another survivor fighting for Justice, showing you what compassion looks like, and sharing our platform with victims and survivors impacted by these types of crimes.
We are pleased to announce an interview with Wife, mom, attorney and cofounder of MinistrySafe / Abuse Prevention Systems, Kimberlee Norris. Kim is unapologetically fierce, and compassionate - a rare combination in this world. She has been victim-centric and always engages with empathy within the organization (which she co-owns with her husband, Gregory Love, both who are lawyers versed in Sexual Abuse Prevention). Kim will give you, the listener, insight into what she and her husband does, share some tips for everyone who listens whether you lead a child serving organization, are a caregiver or parent to a child, or really just anyone who would love to be involved in either now, or in the future.
- FACT: One in four girls and one in six boys have been or will be sexually abused in their lifetime.
- FACT: Sexual abusers not only groom the victim, but they also groom the victim's parents, guardians, or caregivers ("the gatekeepers") in order to obtain trust and find their way in the door.
- FACT: 90% of victims are abused by someone they know and trust with abduction scenarios ("Snatch and grab") are a mere fraction of sex crimes.
- FACT: Less than 10% of sexual abusers will EVER encounter the criminal justice system.
- FACT: Child serving organizations are only as strong as their weakest link.These organizations are the most at risk for child sexual abuse. Ministries in particular tend to be trusting in nature, which creates critically low protective barriers - an enticing target for sexual predators.
- FACT: Background checks aren't enough. Vital as they are, they are not a silver bullet and they do have limitations.
- FACT: There are patterns in predatory behavior, known as the abuser's grooming process, that are predictable - therefore, preventable.
- FACT: Predators do not have a specific "look" to them, as they do fly under the radar. They look like you or me. Many abusers come from all segments of society, with many of them being married, have their own families, and are educated. Many appear helpful, trustworthy and responsible.

Best Friends Amanda and Courtney deep dive into true crime cases with an empathetic standpoint. They focus awareness mainly on lesser known crimes and crimes against those deemed extra vulnerable. Occasionally, the hosts will cover more well known cases due to relevance or a particularly fascinating element. The bees (the honeybee) is seen as synonymous with victims and survivors. We must always protect the bees. We must always let their voices be heard. We must not stifle the buzz of the bees, so bee vigilant, for when you mess with the bees, you get the hive.
