Imagine someone you love just disappears from the earth with no trace. It is a horrible thought, but the truth is just in  Michigan alone, there are nearly 5000 people that have vanished. Meet Sarah Krebs, she is a forensic artist with the Michigan State Police and responsible for bringing closure to families of missing people in the state and around the country.

Krebs enlisted with the Michigan State Police in 2000, graduating as a member of the 119th Trooper Recruit School. Before being assigned to the missing unit in Lansing, she served at posts and task forces in the metro Detroit area. She is also an accomplished forensic artist whose composite sketches have led to the identification of numerous wanted persons in major cases around the state.  Listen to hear story and hear why she is a WCSX “Women Who Rocks”.

In the second half of the podcast, I am always joined by Cyndy Schalter from Turning Point Macomb . This week we discuss an obituary that was put in a paper and the stir it caused because of its’ content.

Cyndy and I also discuss how to deal with the sudden loss of a loved one and why it is important to reach out if you feel alone or can’t deal with overwhelming grief. We also discuss recent comments made by a Nigerian author who says chivalry is dead and it makes women appear weak in modern society.
