Happy New Year to all Liss 'N Kristi viewers and listeners.

Where have we been the past few weeks? The answer is Kristi has been sick, and we've both been raising money like crazy for her non-profit K9s4Cops and K9s4kids - both of which are shortly to be relaunched under the name k9s.org

In this episode, selling fashion-conscious apparel on "Whatnot" - as they say we "buy, sell and go live".

Meanwhile, Kristi is having her tonsils out, even though her doctor told her he rarely does the procedure on a "woman of fifty". She's figuring out how to host the show without a voice for a few weeks :-)

Today, a true crime mystery which appears to be a shocking example of the kind of domestic violence against women which is often overlooked in society.

Kristi and Alissa look at the case of Suzanne Simpson, a high-end real estate broker from San Antonio, Texas, allegedly battered, murdered and dumped by Brad - her husband of 22 years.

He is now in jail awaiting hearings. Her remains haven't been found.

The story has captured people's attention around the world. So many female victims of domestic violence are reluctant to report it.
