When was the first time you saw a dead body and how did that moment change your life?

What makes cold cases with true crime and an evil twist make you smile?
I watched the advanced screener and watched the frustration you had with the gel dummy representing Lizzie Borden’s father.
You’ve said “I love failure. We don’t talk enough about it. Failure leads to success.” What failures have made you stronger?
