Popularity, privilege, perfect life…what could go wrong? For this star cheerleader, a lot. Join us as we talk about a young woman that grew up in a small town and had the entire world at her fingertips. Did her choices lead to a terrible accident or a gruesome murder? **Listener discretion is advised because this case involves a child.**
Brooke Skylar Richardson
