Sipping on Some Crime
by Erin
I have spent the last eight years creatively advocating for victims and families of the missing and murdered community. I started with a blog and then delved into working with families directly through podcasting. Over the last 2 years, I have branched into videos as well, which you can find on my Sipping on Some Crime YouTube channel. My podcast went down for a few years, but I am bringing back all those episodes and adding new ones from my current 50 State Cold Case Spotlight series, which is currently in season 2. Please bear with me while I load in all the previous episodes and the new ones as we go. If there are any updates with any episodes from my original library, I will make sure to include that in the description. I am the writer, the researcher, editor, and the producer of all sipping on some crime projects, a one-woman band, so it does take me some time to get everything loaded. I just recently started trying to write my own music for my episod
