My Husband Was Brutally Murdered — Here's My Side Of The Story

Heather Bishop's husband Ryan Roth was brutally murdered in 2012 — and the journey from that night through the investigation, the flaws in how that investigation was handled, the suspect's escape, the insanity plea, the sentencing, and the emotional aftermath that no one adequately prepared her for eventually led her to TikTok where her raw and honest account of what it actually feels like to be a murder victim's family member went viral and gave her the platform to finally tell the complete truth about what the justice system does and does not do for the people it is supposed to serve. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares what the night of Ryan's murder actually looked like, what the investigation failures and the suspect's escape actually produced, what understanding an insanity plea as the victim's wife actually required of her, and what going viral on TikTok while carrying the weight of everything that night cost her actually looks like from the person living it. #HusbandMurdered #TrueCrimeStory #TheNightOfTheMurder #MurderSurvivor #TrueCrimeCommunity #InsideTheTragedy #CrimeAndJustice #TrueCrimeDocumentary Connect with Heather Bishop: IG:   / itsheatherbishh   TikTok:   / heatherbishop_   Website: https://bio.site/heatherbishop?fbclid...
