A Call To Action-A Round Table Discussion In the Death of Alex VanDalsen

A Call To Action-A Round Table Discussion In the Death of Alex VanDalsen

We are angry. We demand justice. Say his name - ALEX VANDALSEN.


Alex VanDalsen, a transgendered man, was murdered, but his case was conveniently labeled a suicide. His mother, Jennifer VanDalsen, has spent nearly three years fighting for answers and justice. Due to recent events where Jennifer was once again tossed away and considered disposable by local authorities, we gathered together to have a round table discussion and refresh on his case, as well as a firm request of everyone listening to not only say his name, but bring awareness on his case. We want everyone in the true crime arena to please cover his case, we want authorities to dig deeper into their investigations, we want senators and government officials highlighting this case and we want Jennifer to finally have answers because ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 


The following podcasts in todays discussion are listed, and linked to the episodes on Alex VanDalsen are as follows:
