We had some stuff today.

Whew.

Liberty City was let down.

Hell, that's who was let down.

So this week's case was actually sent to us by a listener, and I wasn't actually too familiar with this case, but after looking into it, I felt this would be a great case to cover given that Domestic Violence Awareness Month is in October.

So today we traveled to Conway, Arkansas, about 30 miles northwest of Little Rock.

It's Wednesday, July 5th, 2023, and a woman is texting with her friend, Nancy.

Nancy has been in Hawaii for more than two months now.

According to her obituary, she was a realtor and she practiced in both North Carolina and South Carolina before she retired.

And by 2021, she was living in Conway, the town where she was born.

One of her neighbors in Conway, a woman named Shawn Allen, told the local news station in Little Rock that Nancy was always so kind and talked to her in passing.

But the biggest thing about Nancy's life is something her family made sure investigators understood.

Let me tell you.

So I went to Little Rock, Arkansas a couple of weeks ago and I just kind of spoke at this young lady.

She started her business.

It's called Elbows Off and Company.

So crazy.

So I'm shopping away, getting ready to pay and somebody walks over and they recognize me and they were like, Cheryl Swoops, can I take a picture with you? So before I could even say, yeah, the young lady that I was buying the glasses from, she stood up and she said, I am so embarrassed that I did not recognize my soror, Cheryl Swoops.

Girl, how about that? I ran into a soror in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Oh, my God.

Thank you for being with the South Carolina gubernatorial candidate, Jermaine Johnson.

We're staying in the South and looking at Arkansas now, where Democrats in the Little Rock area are also hoping for a historic breakthrough.

Joining me now is Chris Jones, Democratic nominee for Arkansas' second congressional district.

Thanks for being with us, Chris.

And that's why I'm asking everyone to pay attention to Arkansas, to invest in Arkansas.

You see, Arkansas actually redistricted four years before Calais and before Memphis.

And they cut up Little Rock into three different congressional districts, taking 25,000 Democratic voters, mostly Black, out of the district and bringing in 25,000 mostly Republican voters into the district.

But what we're seeing now is because I ran for governor statewide, I had name ID and infrastructure across the district.

And so that's the decision I made.

So I literally took a bus to Little Rock, Arkansas after my six-month leave was up, leave Tucson, go to Little Rock, and I literally resumed my what you could call hobo existence.

I went back to hopping freight trains around the country, hitchhiking around the country.

I eventually wrote a... little travelogue, a zine, we talked about a zine, I wrote a zine about my experiences traveling.

You get away.

I mean, Little Rock sucks, man.

No, no.

The Clintons are there.
