Episode 231: Suzanne Harrison, Gena Turner, and Bryan Boone | Before and After "The Kids"

Description

If I were to tell someone from Wood County Texas to close their eyes and try to imagine what the tiny town of Hawkins, which sits at the intersections of Highway 80 and Farm Road 14 in the south east corner of the county, looked like in 1986 they would not have to use their imagination. Moving with a slow east Texas rhythm the town has not changed with time, but rather has found itself suspected within it. The town sits as an Americana time capsule, arrested to the last time that they knew the innocence, hope, and freedom they once prided themselves on for within hearts of the residence sits a wound that has never healed. Time is only measured in two ways in Hawkins, TX before what happened to them in 1986 and after…or as they refer to it…before and after, “The kids”. For this case I am bringing you into a town named Hawkins, in 1986, and to be honest the vibes of the town seem strikingly similar to another Hawkins you are all well acquitted with, time period and all…and there is one more similarity…high school students going missing. But in our case the disappearances are real and the effects of what happened to the children of Hawkins in 1986 have reverberated through the quiet roads ever since. So let’s step back in time…Sponsors:Rula.com/tccYou deserve mental healthcare that works with you, not against your budget!Avery After Dark PodcastSources: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/166/757/630178/https://texasstandard.org/stories/upshur-county-courthouse-gilmer-tx-jerry-mcfadden-jail-cell/https://law.resource.org/pub/us/case/reporter/F3/166/166.F3d.757.98-50485.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Walter_McFaddenhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6653351/gena_lee-turner#view-photo=141666582https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6653379/suzanne_denise-harrisonhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6653334/bryan_drew-boone/flowerhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/639801109/?match=1&terms=jerry%20mcfaddenhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1314219208/?match=1&terms=jerry%20mcfaddenhttps://www.newsp
