    Our card this season is Darlene Hulse, the 4 of Hearts from Indiana.

    Darlene Hulse was forcibly taken from her home in Argos, Indiana on August 17, 1984. Her two oldest daughters witnessed the attack but they didn’t recognize the man who took their mother. Though Darlene’s body would be found a day later, just six miles from her home, her killer has evaded law enforcement for almost four decades and her case has remained cold…until now.

    After a year long investigation, we’re uncovering new facts and speaking with witnesses and suspects who have never been spoke to before in hopes of finally answering the question, who murdered Darlene Hulse?

Beyond findings

intrigued.
still questioning what the new sheriff in charge is hiding.
seems he knows way more than saying and has ties to those involved in this crime plus more. "Nelson" should be deep rootedly evaluated along with the others. he did it to himself .
where is the petition link? the victim in question should be re-examined by (non influenciel and far away) out of jurisdiction personnel in order to get fresh perspectives.

Phenomenal True Crime Hobby

I can't lie....I was hooked once I heard the first 3 episodes on Crime Junkies. I immediately looked up, "The deck" & I'm SO glad I did. I feel that what you are doing is absolutely phenomenal for this family, & so many others! You are a earthly guardian angel with your own elite of the devine standing behind you to help guide, investigate, & push for answers to something so heinous in order to bring in the light that surrounds such evil. Helping these families is amazing & probably one of the BEST & selfless hobbys I've EVER came across! Ashley, you & your team are truly a blessing!! Thank you for all your hard work & for bringing this to the public. Thank you for allowing the mother, wife, sister, friend, & daughter's memory live on in us forever!
