A Million Other Choices

Kim Tollerredcircle.com

When my niece was murdered in 2018, my interest in true crime turned to an obsession. I cover mostly Canadian cases and largely from my hometown of Calgary. I respect the victims and their families because I’ve been there. Every victims story deserves to be told. No chatting about my personal life or witty banter….I just get right to the case and tell the victim’s story. My personal story can be found in Season 1, episodes 17&18. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/amillionotw
