I lived very near this area and was a junior in high school when this happened. What an incredible tragedy! I love your podcast and appreciate the way you both honor the families and victims. Now I have to send a correction. Everyone in the area has to learn to pronounce it as some point in their lives Lol. Tuscarawas is Tusk-uh-raw-wus. Keep up the great work ladies!
I was listening to it and every time she said tusk-scare-ra-was, I giggled…. And this is about a murder! Lol. But I’m from Stark County and we always did our shopping in New Philly.
Started listening to y’all last night and I am obsessed!!! The moment in this episode when y’all started singing “gotta get through this” by Daniel Beddingfield made my day 😂😂
It’s never too late to NOT KILL A CHILD. Poor sweet Liz. Thank god he was an IDIOT! I’ll pray for sweet Brandi, she out-smarted her attempted killer: Had the will to live!!! Thank GOD he didn’t check her for a pulse. Omg.
From this area but was too young to remember when it happened... its something people still talk about in the area since its a safe quiet ohio town where you would NEVER expect this... Brandi is talked about so highly in this area. One strong person she is
I am sure it killed her parents to never get a answer as to why this man brutally and maliciously murdered their teenage daughter. That isn't something you just up and do one day out of the blue. That takes urges, thoughts, fantasies, contemplating. The fact he had a gun, and knife, made sure to bind them and separate them and try to off them individually??!?! That's not an overnight random urge or a "I don't know why I did that" Like Yooooo! I am glad someone in that courthouse gave him a reality check on how prison treats people who hurt kids, let alone do the unspeakable stuff he did to Brandy and Liz. Brandy has got to be one of the toughest women alive not to let a night that nearly ended her life, multiple times, in multiple super traumatizing ways ruin the rest of her life. My God. I would never be able to forgive someone who did that to me... When you went on about how he tried to snap her neck, after violating her multiple times, and strangling her... I stopped everything I was doing and just sat there slack jawed in speechless 'Awh'
I'm sad Brandi's friend Liz was killed. I couldn't imagine if something happened to my sweetheart sister Savannah. I wouldn't want to be alive if my sister wasn't.
The way my soul dies a little every time the Celtics is pronounced that way... even tho I know that's how the team says it... but still... it's so wrong. 😅😅
Oof this gave me flashbacks of growing up in Roman Catholicism, what Brandi said in court, I’m so upset her mom said that. “Forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Muttered that every Sunday for far too long. Yeah, you guys were polite about it, but I won’t be. That’s utter bullshוt, and any deity whose forgiveness (for what, cheating on a math test?? They were in high school!!) is conditional on forgiving their RAP|ST and attempted murderer is not a loving or benevolent god.
Brandi Hicks also personally told her and Liz Riser’s story on A&E’s “I Survived…”

This really makes me feel like crying.

It was pronounced like reeser, i graduated with her brother hahaha
Using profanity and the Lord's name in vain...made me find a different avenue for information of this murder
I'm sad Brandi's friend Liz was killed.
I couldn't imagine if something happened to my sweetheart sister Savannah. I wouldn't want to be alive if my sister wasn't.
I read Brandi's firsthand account of this story. You added so many things that didn't happen.
There are videos of Brandi telling her story here on UA-cam and this podcast embellished and changed so much.
Hearing someone try and say the tuscarawas river made me laugh, this isnt a funny thing at all i know..

Ohio names are wild. It's pronounced Tusk-a-war-us.
hiiiiiiiiiii I am a big fan!!!!
Liz was my sisters close friend. Their last name is pronounced reeser.
It'd be cool if you guys did a colab with rotten mango. Love you ladies!
Please spell the victims name right. Please fix your title.
Agreed. Very careless.

God will forgive even you
Lol it’s pronounced Tusk-car-all-was river and county but close enough 😅
