2019: The Unsolved Case of Jessica McCormack

*Correction: After recording our episode about Jessica, we received a message that one of the friends and Jessica’s birthdays are only a day apart and Jessica’s is actually the 15th while the friends is the 16th. This episode will be released on the 15th and once Kayla is back from vacation, the recording will be updated to reflect the correction. However, we still wanted to release the episode on Jessica’s actual birthday even if currently the date in the episode is off. The updated recording will be corrected by June 21.*

This is not a typical ONUC episode. A friend of Jessica McCormack reached out to us asked if we could do anything to spread awareness of their friend's unsolved murder. Kayla spoke with Jessica's friend and looked more into the case to see what we can do to help. This episode is our contribution to the fight to find Jessica's murderer. The thing is... we think it could be solved. But, why hasn't it?
