*Content warning: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence, gun violence, murder, mass murder, and mass shooting.
Olivia Percaccio is an educator, wife, daughter, sister, and friend to many; she is also the co-victim of a mass murder and shooting. We are so grateful she reached out and shared her experiences with us privately almost two years ago, after Amy’s season of Something Was Wrong aired. We formed a bond over some of the legal, media, and emotional parallels in our journeys. However, this is the first time Olivia has
chosen to
publicly share what came next for her family and community after experiencing such painful grief while being forced into the public eye.
