Twilight Crooks was a beaming, 15 year old Indigenous girl from Bowling Green, Kentucky with dreams of attending Harvard. After receiving a call from an unknown person in the late hours of August 28th, 2001, she quietly walked barefoot, out of her family home, and into the night. She would never be seen alive again. Twilight’s brutally murdered body was found 13 days later, discarded in a remote rural area- she was  dressed in  someone else's clothes. Anyone with information on the murder of Twilight Crooks is encouraged to call the Warren County Sheriff’s Office at 1-270-842-1633 or to leave an anonymous tip using the Sheriff’s Office’s anonymous tip form.

True Crime BFF is a weekly podcast hosted by me, your TC BFF. Each week I will take you through a well-researched, deep-dive into a horrific story. The kind you just can’t seem to get enough of-because- let’s admit it, there’s something a bit off about us both, isn’t there? Like all BFF’s, we will cry, we will laugh and we will definitely rage but we will always make sure to honor and create awareness for the victims and their stories.  Maybe by dissecting the people and events,  we can start to understand the why and do better in this world.  Fair warning, this podcast WILL be explicit, and I may cuss a lot, but that doesn’t mean I am not committed to handling these very real people's stories with care and empathy. PS- make sure to subscribe, like, rate, review and all the podcasty things we are supposed to do- and most importantly… make sure to tell your other BFF’s.
