The Murder In My Family

After 163 episodes, The Murder in My Family is coming to a close. A note from show Creator and host Mike Morford: "I stepped away from hosting duties in 2024 but continued to produce the show. Host Eric Cater-Landin took over hosting duties, but due to personal reasons, had to step away from the podcast. At this point, after careful consideration, I have decided to end the show. It's been my honor to create this show and provide a platform to families of the murdered, to discuss their loved one's case, and how it affected them. Sometimes, in cases that were still unsolved, we were able to shine a light on the case to help generate tips and leads, in an effort to help see resolution. In some solved cases we've covered, we heard from families who had received justice for their loved one, but were not fighting to keep their killer behind bars. Thank you to the dozens of families who trusted me, and have shared your stories with me, and our listeners. I hope that I was able to present your story in the most respectful and accurate way possible. And to the listeners; Thank you for supporting not just the show, but for also supporting the guests that we had on who opened up to us about something so tragic and personal. All my best, Mike Morford" Please stay subscribed to The Murder in My Family on your favorite player or app, so that you can get updates on other podcasts you may be interested in as well as new shows from the AbJack Network of shows [https://www.abjackentertainment.com/].
