## Resource

If you haven't listened to our DC Sniper episode yet (E104), start there first. This is the conversation that follows it. Dr. Mildred Muhammad was married to John Allen Muhammad for 12 years. She knew him as a soldier, a father, a man she loved. What she didn't know was that after their separation, he had begun stalking her, that he had kidnapped their three children and taken them to Antigua for 18 months using forged documents, that she had been living under a restraining order that still permitted visitation, and that during October of 2002...while the DC metropolitan area was being terrorized by a sniper...she was living in that same region with no idea the man behind it was her ex-husband. And then she found out she was allegedly the intended target all along. In this episode, Dr. Muhammad walks us through her entire story. Growing up in Baton Rouge. Meeting John. What the marriage looked like from the inside. The kidnapping of her children and the 18 months she spent fighting to bring them home. The moment she learned his name. The aftermath. Being treated as a potential accessory. The court refusing to allow domestic violence evidence at trial. And what she has built since as an author, advocate, speaker, podcaster, and appointed member of the Maryland State Board of Victim Services. Oh and listen until the end. We play a fun little game at the end testing Mildred's knowledge of all things Louisiana. She's from Baton Rouge. Melissa is not. It went about as well as you'd expect. 😂 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/murder-unscripted/id1750146409 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2AUGh12ei1wk8x7CvcX9qH 💛 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MurderUnscriptedPod/membership 📬 murderunscriptedpod@gmail.com | @murderunscripted
