Stephanie Talks Safety & Injustice / Tali Discusses the Disappearance of Phoenix Coldon

Crime starts at 33:02.

In this episode, Stephanie opens the conversation with a thoughtful look at how we can give our kids small freedoms while still creating a reliable safety net around them. She talks about that delicate balance between trust and protection: how to let young people explore, make decisions, and grow, while still doing everything we can to keep them safe.

She also digs into the injustices that surround so many missing-person cases: who gets attention, who gets overlooked, and the shocking statistics behind it. Stephanie shares ways we can teach our children to recognize unfairness, speak up when they see inequality, and understand how systemic bias affects real families.

Then Tali takes us into the case of Phoenix Coldon, a bright and talented young woman who vanished from her family’s driveway in 2011. Tali walks through Phoenix’s life, the complicated dynamics surrounding her disappearance, the conflicting reports, and the haunting theories that still linger more than a decade later.

This episode blends social insight, emotional depth, and true crime storytelling: offering both a broader lens on injustice and a closer look at one family’s heartbreaking search for answers.
