2001 was a traumatic year for 11 year old, Bethany Markowski of Jackson, Tennessee. Her mom, Jonnie and her dad, Larry met and got together while Larry was hiding his first wife and children. He eventually came clean after Jonnie became pregnant and left his first wife. Alleged abuse in the house progressed with every birthday candle added to Bethany’s birthday cake. By January 2001 Jonnie packed up her car, unenrolled Bethany from school and moved to Nashville, Tennessee with her sister Lori and her family. Larry was quickly able to track them down and after an incident at Bethany’s school a restraining order was put in place for Jonnie, but Larry was able to get unsupervised visits with Bethany every other weekend. Bethany Leanne Markowski disappeared while on her second visit with her dad.

Part Two: You Are The Power

This week on The Expired Podcast we speak to Ryan Ralston of You Are The Power. We were shocked to hear the horrifying stories of families being ripped from their medically fragile children and slapped with abuse charges. Georgia is not doing their due diligence for the children and families in the state. We are outraged and urge you  to donate and educate at YouAreThePower.net 

Ryan Ralston was born and raised in metro Atlanta. He works for the only organization in Georgia devoted to freeing the imprisoned innocent and correcting and preventing wrongful convictions.  Ryan is the Southeast Regional Organizer for You Are The Power, a membership-based nonprofit founded by Spike Cohen. This organization's network has a collective social media reach of over 50 million and maintains working relationships with its members, other advocates, and organizations across all 50 states. Ryan is a steadfast advocate for effective reform within the criminal legal system.  Ryan understands that grassroots activism and voluntarism yield more significant results for our communities than mandated government policies. He is committed to Human Respect and focuses on positive solutions that return power to the individual.  Despite his serious professional commitments, Ryan dedicates time to his interests. He is a family man who did something truly punk rock: he married his high school sweetheart. They are blessed with three wonderful children. In his leisure time, Ryan writes short stories and essays, reads voraciously, follows Red Sox baseball, gets tattooed, and cherishes moments with his three Australian Shepherds, Mabel, Junie, and Birdy.  His parents remain hopeful he will go to med school.

Georgia is STEALING children! You Are The Power

The day before the coronavirus pandemic hit, on March 12th, 2020, a couple was found on the side of the road in an apparent car crash. When the police arrived at 497 Hickory BLVD, they found the bodies of Holly Williams and Bill Lanway. A call for a car crash quickly turned into a double murder when police discovered both people had multiple gunshot wounds. The bodies were both found in the floorboard of the car. Bill in front and Holly in the back. Who would want this beautiful Nashville couple dead?

Heather Maples was a Texas transplant to Tennessee. She moved to Murfreesboro in January of 2015 to go to MTSU. Heather moved in with her friend Chaz and got a job at their apartment complex. She and Chaz quickly became more than friends and a relationship began. Heather would complain that Chaz was abusive and always yelling. She even said there was a physical altercation and ultimately, they broke up. She stayed at the apartment mostly because she worked there, and he moved out. In the Summer of 2015 Heather was single, social, working where she lived and preparing to start her college career. That was all taken away on August 7th when she was found dead in her apartment.
