About this episode
It's an Ash Mini, guys! Because Alaina still has to work through the Covid19 pandemic, Ash took this one on and slayed the game. The brutal murders of James and Denise Closs and the horrific abduction of their daughter Jayme is something we probably all remember dominating the headlines in 2018. Luckily, the story has as good an ending as we can hope for in a tale like this one and Jayme emerged a warrior who used her strength and wits to survive and now thrive while her abductor Jake Patterson rots for the rest of his life.
