  • Episode 130 Dallas Child Abuse Detective Kristen King #10671: Instability to Unstoppable
    Mar 16 2026

    Sitting down with Dallas Child Abuse detective Kristen King, we hear a story that begins in instability but unfolds into purpose.

    Growing up in an unpredictable and difficult home, she learned early what it felt like to live without safety or certainty. Instead of letting that past define her limits, she allowed it to shape her mission.

    Today, she channels that lived experience into fierce advocacy for children caught in abusive and neglectful environments, bringing both professional skill and personal understanding to every case she handles.

    Her work is more than law enforcement — it is protection, empathy, and a promise to vulnerable children that their story does not end where it began.

    Kristen has been a part of the show, as a cohost, since episode 7 and has offered thought provoking questions and insight to pull the very best story from the guest.

    She is the twin sister of Episode 64, Gillian Ethridge, and wife of podcast host Joe King.

    Danny Canete will lead this interview of Kristen.

    Major Cases discussed:

    Murder of Cash Gernon 2021

    Murder of Susette James in 2023

  • Episode 129 (Ret.) Dallas Homicide Detective Linda Erwin #2937: Trailblazer in Big D
    Mar 2 2026

    We are honored to sit down with retired Dallas Homicide Detective Linda Erwin as she takes us down the aisles of history in the city and the department.

    Linda Erwin didn’t just enter the homicide division of the Dallas Police Department — she changed it forever.

    As the first woman in Dallas history to earn a place among its homicide detectives, she stepped across a line few believed a woman could cross. In an era when doors were closed and expectations were low, she walked into crime scenes, interrogation rooms, and command briefings determined not just to belong, but to excel.

    Every case she worked carried more than evidence — it carried the weight of proving that courage, intellect, and relentless dedication know no gender.

    Through grit and undeniable results, she reshaped what leadership looked like in one of policing’s toughest arenas.

    Her badge, #2937, became more than metal; it became a symbol of possibility, paving the way for every woman who would follow her into the most challenging corners of law enforcement.

    Homicide Detective Andrea Isom and Sgt. Kent Wolverton cohost.

    Significant case discussed:

    The curious case of American serial killer, Henry Lee Lucas. Linda was featured in Netflix the Confession Killer documentary.
