About this episode

The episode discusses the tragic murder of Chelsea Small, a single mother who was shot while working alone at a check cashing store.

"He actually shot her twice. He didn't need the second shot. But he did it anyway." November 12th, 2013 was supposed to be Chelsea Small's day off. The 30-year-old single mother of two worked at an Advance America check cashing store in Taylor, Michigan. She was attending Wayne County Community College full-time in the hopes of becoming a physical therapist, but had taken the full-time job after she separated from her longtime boyfriend the year prior. And in November of 2013, she swapped shifts so that she could have her son's 5th birthday off. That Tuesday, Chelsea was working alone. At around 10:00 AM she called her mother, venting about some things that had gotten dumped on her at work. Then, at around 12:04 PM, she buzzed in a customer through the security entrance. Surveillance footage shows that within seconds, he'd pull out a .45-caliber handgun equipped with a suppressor...
