Brian Shaffer /// True Crime Garage /// Episode: 925 | Forensic Files

We set out to do this event, which was held in Canal Winchester, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, at our one of our favorite
places in Central Ohio, BrewDog. It's where they brew all the beer, and they have the dog house where you can stay
overnight, and they let us host our event in the beer museum there at the front of the building, and it was a
sold-out crowd. We had hoped when we put this thing together back in February of
this year that the turnout would be great, and that we would be able to donate $10,000 was our goal to

>> a great thing to say to our beautiful listeners. But, because they're so awesome, and
[clears throat] they care, and they are loyal, uh and we are very thankful, we had a great crowd this last weekend
here, and we're able to double up on what we raised for Porchlight, sending $20,000
to Porchlight for Ohio cold cases, and we are going to be using that for some missing persons cases, which is so very
fitting.
