About this episode
Addendum: Amy Jo’s fiancee was Jerimah. Her ex husband was Chris. Cat had the names scrambled and she was mortified to learn of this error! The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel are joined by Pam Nelson and Abbie Nelson Vann to honor the life and legacy of Amy Jo Nelson. This episode steps away from speculation and into remembrance. Pam and Abbie share who Amy Jo truly was, the unanswered questions surrounding her death, and the investigation her family continues to pursue in the search for justice. Through their voices, Amy Jo is remembered not as a headline, but as a daughter, a sister, and someone deeply loved. This is a conversation rooted in truth, advocacy, and keeping Amy Jo’s name alive.Links We Used: ​https://culpablepodcast.com/episode/amy-jo-nelson/​https://www.catchmykiller.com/episode-114-amy-jo-nelson/ ​https://www.yahoo.com/news/unsolved-ohio-killed-amy-jo-093000675.html ​https://www.nbc4i.com/news/unsolved-ohio/unsolved-ohio-who-killed-amy-jo-nelson-family-wants-answers-in-2017-homicide/​https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/amy-jo-nelsons-family-on-unsolved-murder/530-b88728f7-a4db-4063-87dc-35c86f79daa5 ​https://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/story/news/2021/02/13/perry-county-family-fighting-loved-one-victims-abuse/6735274002/​https://www.nbc4i.com/news/unsolved-ohio/unsolved-ohio-who-killed-amy-jo-nelson-family-wants-answers-in-2017-homicide/ ​https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Law-Enforcement/Local-Law-Enforcement/Poster.aspx?printpath=/Files/Law-Enforcement/Investigator/Cold-Case/Homicides/Nelson-3&classname=Custom.ColdCaseDatabase ​https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/zanesvilletimesrecorder/name/amy-nelson-smith-obituary?id=12591712​
