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. After believing her mother Lori died of natural causes when she was a baby, Lauren finds out a shocking revelation: Her mom was murdered. It sets her off on an investigative journey to find out the truth about Lori’s life and her own.

Episode 2: "The Treasure Hunt of Death"

Lauren reaches out to her mother’s old friends and family to find out more about the person she was, in hopes of figuring out what happened to Lori on the fateful night of her death. While she finds out some shocking information from an expert in the case, Lauren continues to press Louise on details of what she knows.

Episode 3: "The Duffel Bag"

When Lauren’s adoptive father dies in 2019, she reopens old wounds from her childhood. But while going through her old house, Lauren finds a treasure trove of information that fuels her investigation into a new direction.

Lauren confronts her Aunt to sort out contradictions in the police report. Lauren finds out about new, shady characters in her mother’s life that, as usual, leads her back to one person—Louise.

Episode 5: "Guilty of Something"

Lauren confronts her mother’s drug-dealer “friend” who gives her shocking information about Lori’s death. Lauren’s brother Tommy reveals information about where Lauren actually was the day her mother was found. Then, a final shocker threatens to derail Lauren’s entire investigation.

Episode 6: "Justice for Sled Dog"

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.

Episode 7: "Scary Harry"

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.

Episode 8: "It Wasn’t for Nothing"

There’s a new break in the case when Lauren gets new information about her mother’s autopsy report. And a huge moment arrives when Lauren testifies in front of the Rhode Island legislature on behalf of cold case victims.

Episode 9: "The Video Call"

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

Episode 10: "Other Kinds of Justice"

A new witness steps forward with shocking information about the day Lauren’s mother was found dead. Could this be the key to solving the whole case?

Wow! Incredible!

I listened to this twice back to back, it is that good. I’m a 54 year old Mom who fell in love with Lauren like a daughter. Your Mom is so proud of you!
As a listener, as soon as a question would pop in my head, Lauren would pause the tapes and give her narration and answers to all questions along the way. The production was superb. I immediately followed Lauren on social media, and I’m looking forward to hearing all the latest in the case of Laurie Malloy.
