Text us to leave us a review!</a></p><p>We are at our Season 1 finale of this multi series podcast that tells the wild and tragic tale of three families that were destroyed by James Arthur Pearson. The trail of devastation he had left after he murdered his wife Pauline and two daughters, Paula and Marianne Pearson in Santa Clara in 1969.<br/><br/> Sonya interviews Arlene Ruesch's daughter Vickie who has a few things to share about the case and her recollections of when Pearson was in Cedar City, Utah.</p><p><em>"He left a trail of damage and pain in his wake with every move that he made, and all of the lies and deceit and theft, everywhere went with him. It was just never ending and of course and the very worst of it was the tragic and inexcusable brutal murders of his first wife and his two daughters."</em></p><p><em>"The kidnapping of an innocent 11 month old baby... and then the kidnapping again of this same innocent 7 year old boy, leaving a devastated mother behind "... Three families destroyed by one completely evil horrible person..."</em></p><p><em>~ Excerpt from episode from Arlene Ruesch's Daughter, Vickie</em><br/><br/>We are excited to share a passion project that Sonya has been working on to remember the Pearson Women so that they will not be forgotten and will keep their memory alive forever. We published an obituary in the SJ Mercury News on Mothers Day, May 12, 2024. </p><p> We have created a fundraiser to have a headstone dedicated to them which will include all three of their names. You can donate through out <a href='https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-memorialize-pearson-women-with-new-gravestone'>GoFundMe</a> to donate this for them. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated.
