Dammit Dave // 142
This episode is available early and ad-free on Invisible Choir + through Apple Podcasts and Patreon, and is scheduled for free/regular release on Sunday, April 13th, 2025.
Most of us trust that our legal system will deliver the right judgments and hold those who commit heinous crimes accountable. That trust extends to the support we expect to follow — the assumption that resources will be available after an unexpected tragedy. But the unfortunate truth is that not everyone is afforded these privileges, making the path to recovery and closure all the more complicated for survivors of violent crime who are left to pick up the pieces on their own. For the family of 70-year-old David Flaget, that journey was filled with obstacles. They were ultimately forced to take matters into their own hands in seeking justice after their beloved grandfather was murdered in a situation that was entirely preventable.
Special thanks to Brittney and Tamber for taking the time to talk with us and tell us about their Grandpa Dave. Written by Trevor Pason, Edited and Engineered by Scott Ecklein, and Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.
