• How their families have transformed grief into purpose, becoming fierce advocates for justice, safety, and awareness.
• The way February 13 has become a day of remembrance, reflection, and unity for people who never even met the girls but feel connected to their story.
• The strength of the Delphi community, which continues to honor the girls through vigils, memorials, and ongoing support for the families.
• The legacy Abby and Libby leave behind — one rooted in courage, love, and the determination to protect other children.
Aspen shares hIS own perspective on why their story resonates so deeply, how their memory continues to inspire advocacy, and what it means to carry their names forward with respect and intention.

In this powerful episode of True Crime with Tiff Kline, we travel from 1955 Mississippi to the world we live in today — tracing the painful, undeniable line between the lynching of Emmett Till and the modern‑day hatred that claimed the life of Sam Nordquist.
Tiff unpacks the night Emmett was stolen from his bed, the sham trial that followed, and the all‑white jury that never intended to deliver justice. She explores the courage of witnesses like Willy Reed, the strength of Mamie Till‑Mobley, and the moment Emmett’s open casket forced America to confront the brutality it tried to hide.
But this episode doesn’t stop in the past.
Tiff draws a direct, unflinching connection between the racism that killed Emmett Till and the bigotry that continues to target transgender and LGBTQIA+ people today. Through Sam Nordquist’s story, she exposes how hate evolves — shifting its targets, changing its language, but never losing its power unless we confront it.
This is not just a history lesson.
It’s a warning.
A mirror.
A call to action.
Because Emmett deserved to grow up.
Sam deserved to grow .
And every person targeted for their race, identity, or existence deserves safety, dignity, and a future.
Join Tiff as she honors their stories, challenges the systems that failed them, and reminds us why telling the truth — even when it hurts — is the most powerful form of justice we have left.

Emmett Till was stolen in the night.
Sam Nordquist was erased in the daylight.
Two lives, decades apart — but bound by the same thread of hate, silence, and injustice.
This episode wasn’t just about remembering.
It was about recognizing.
Recognizing that racism didn’t die with Emmett’s killers.
Recognizing that transphobia didn’t disappear with a pride parade.
Recognizing that the systems that failed Emmett are still failing Sam — and so many others.
We live in a world where Black children are still profiled.
Where transgender youth are still targeted.
Where bigotry adapts, evolves, and hides behind new laws, new language, new lies.
But we also live in a world where truth still matters.
Where storytelling still heals.
Where remembrance is resistance.
Emmett deserved to grow up.
Sam deserved to grow up.
And every person who’s ever been told they don’t belong deserves safety, dignity, and a future.
So we keep telling their stories.
We keep saying their names.
We keep fighting for the world they should’ve had.

Two young women vanished six years apart in the same small Pennsylvania community—two disappearances that were never truly investigated with the urgency they deserved. Phylicia Thomas and Jennifer Barziloski were daughters, friends, dreamers. They were loved. And they were failed.This podcast unravels the tangled, painful history of their cases: the rumors that spread through Sweet Valley, the names that kept resurfacing, the evidence that was ignored, and the voices that were silenced. Through timelines, interviews, community accounts, and survivor‑centered storytelling, we explore how two disappearances became a decades‑long wound for Luzerne County.
But this isn’t just a story about what happened. It’s about who they were.
.Their stories intersect in haunting ways: shared acquaintances, overlapping locations, and a pattern of violence and silence that still hangs over the region.
This podcast seeks truth, accountability, and remembrance. It’s a call to look closer, to listen harder, and to say their names with intention.
Because Phylicia and Jennifer deserved better.
And their stories are not over
