The Family's Fight for Justice — and a FOIA Guide for Listeners
At 1:23:30 · chapter starts 1:22:40
The episode closes by honoring the Brazeale family's persistent advocacy. Cody Turner, the PI, told the hosts he was fully prepared to tell the family their son took his own life — until he read the files. A family nurse practitioner who saw Tripp on October 9th, 2024 wrote a formal letter stating she had zero concerns about his mental health or suicidal ideation, and found him happy and excited about his future. Gil, drawing on 14 years of law enforcement experience, says the case simply doesn't add up. He is now running for St. Francis County Sheriff. PI Cody Turner is running for sheriff in Lawrence County. Jennifer continues filing FOIA requests for Tripp's clothing, the ratchet strap, and employment records. Because of this case, Crime Junkie has created a public FOIA guide on their website to empower other families facing similar situations. The hosts direct listeners to crimejunkie.com for source material, ask those with information to email [email protected], and sign off until the next episode.
