from True Crime BFF · host Lauren K

SIGN THE PETITION: Petition Justice for Jax: Oversight Now!Jax Gratton was a 34-year-old transgender woman and a beloved Denver hairstylist who l built a life defined by authenticity, community, and purpose.On the night of April 15, 2025, Jax left her Denver, CO apartment around 10 p.m., telling her roommate she would be out for about three hours. She never came home.Her family and community rallied and searched for 2 months -  but ultimately, her body was found severely decomposed and partially mummified—in a narrow space beneath the second-story window of a Lakewood apartment complex.As of NOW,  officials have said they can’t say if Jax fell, jumped, or was pushed from the window while alive, or if she was dropped from the window after death. The official finding for both the cause and manner of death was left as undetermined.None of this is adding up.And it is this lack of definitive answers (and so much more)  that has spurred Jax's friends and family into a determined fight for justice.  Loved ones are petitioning for an independent oversight task force to monitor the investigation to ensure it is transparent and thorough- and you can help!I want to hear from YOU!

Explicit Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
