The "Sled Dog" Legacy: The Suspicious Death of Lori Malloy- Part 2

In Season 1, Episode 3, Jolynn shares the second part of our conversation with Lauren Malloy about her mother Lori Malloy’s suspicious death. Lauren turned her personal tragedy into a force for systemic change in Rhode Island following the suspicious death of her mother, Lori Molloy, in 1993. Lauren embarked on a mission for justice that led to remarkable outcomes. Her advocacy not only catalyzed the reopening of her mother's case but led her to testify before the Rhode Island Finance Committee about her mother’s unsolved homicide which resulted in the funding of the Rhode Island's first statewide cold case unit, marking a significant milestone in the state's approach to solving cold cases. Lauren's story is a testament to the impact of determined advocacy, the importance of community support, and the transformative potential of modern forensic technology in bringing long-awaited justice to families affected by unsolved homicide cases. Through her journey from grief to empowerment and her role in creating a lasting legacy that honors the memories Lori "Sled Dog" Malloy while providing hope and resources to other families navigating similar paths.
