Publisher's summary

When a mysterious stranger unveils a long-hidden truth, Lauren Malloy’s life is thrown into chaos. For years, Lauren believed her mother, Lori, died of natural causes, but the shocking reality is that her loving mother was brutally murdered when Lauren was just an infant.

Now, 30 years later, Lauren is on a relentless quest for justice. Over the past four years, she’s embarked on an emotional journey filled with unexpected twists, recording hundreds of hours of interviews with law enforcement, family, friends, and even potential suspects. Her mission: to finally uncover the identity of Lori’s killer.

Lauren’s gripping, real-time podcast series chronicles her investigation into her mother’s life and untimely death, navigating a tangled web of family secrets, deceit, and systemic failures in the seemingly idyllic town of East Providence, Rhode Island.

Episode 1: "The Facebook Message"

When a stranger reaches out to Lauren Malloy in the middle of a global pandemic, her entire life is turned upside down.

It sets her off on an investigative journey to find out the truth about Lori’s life and her own.

Fed up with red tape and closed doors, Lauren decides to take justice into her own hands. Meanwhile, she tracks down the love of her mother’s life and has a special meeting with him that brings an unexpected connection.

A new suspect emerges in the investigation which leads Lauren to uncover disturbing truths about her mother’s past relationships. Louise reemerges, with more alarming revelations that conflict with everything she first told Lauren.

An associate of Lauren’s biological father confesses to being present when her mom was murdered. But can he believed?

Mind blowing!

Once I started listening I couldn’t stop. Lauren is an amazing human being who unfortunately is doing what should’ve been done many years ago. She submerges herself so deep into her own investigation truly leaving no stone unturned. Her tenacity to never give up turned all her no’s into a yes because no wasn’t an option. She is creating true change for the state of Rhode Island and beyond turning her pain into purpose by not only solving her Mom’s murder, but helping other victims and their families have resources and a voice. Her heart is so real and raw which without a doubt is her beautiful and free spirited Mom guiding her from above and so proud of her. This is one you don’t want to miss and prepare yourself to buckle up!

The clear growth of Lauren as the podcast unfolded was obvious and has you cheering her on.

I liked how Lauren never backed down no matter how much crazy Louise spewed! I think Louise is a lonely old woman that was friends with the Mom for 5 minutes in jr high and needed to feel relevant and never dreamed her lies would lead to what it has. Good Job

Not my favorite, but it held my interest. Good true crime story. I’m trying to make it to 15 words.

Captivating and heart wrenching

Could not stop listening! Lori and Lauren Malloy's story is filled with heart, determination, and a love between mother and daughter that truly transcends life and death. Lauren's endless pursuit of answers to bring justice to her mother's memory is nothing short of inspiring. Lauren brings the listener along on this journey with a series of interviews, notes left by her mom, and her own thoughts as she unravels her own mom's murder mystery, The series kept my mind and senses engaged, bringing me to tears at several points. There are no obstacles this daughter will not face. There are no dead ends to this mystery. I have no doubt that Lauren will find complete closure and justice for her mom. The celebratory day will come, and will come soon. And in the meantime, the successes Lauren has achieved along the way to that finish line are worth the time to listen. Go #TeamSledDog !!!

Lauren hears the unspoken!

Foiled and failed attempts of gaslighting and personal reflections are showcased in this incredible journey to find facts through silenced and altered truths. Lauren stays the course, critically thinking, exploring, leaving no stone unturned. I couldn't stop listening!

Love endures and never gives up!


This is a perfectly written account and delivery of this young woman’s journey to honor her mother’s life with the truth. I was a childhood friend of Lori (age 7-12).
Lauren, your mother would be so proud of you. I pray everyday you get answers and Sled Dog gets justice she so deserves.

This story shows how Love endures and never gives up.

Strong Young Voice

A riveting look at generational trauma by one of the victims. We are seeing Lauren find her voice gradually through out her journey culminating in her becoming the voice of every unsolved case in the state! Wow! This young woman gets my vote! Lauren Malloy for President!
