Yogi and the Bee: The Tragic Story of Kathleen Smiley

In this profound episode of Yogi and the Bee, Allie and Bee confront a haunting memory from their childhood that has lingered for decades. In 1974, a tragedy struck that would forever alter their lives—the heartbreaking murder of Kathleen Smiley, who lived right next door to Allie.

Join us as we navigate this deeply personal and emotional journey. We'll share our recollections of Kathleen, the impact her loss had on our tight-knit community, and how such an event shaped our perspectives growing up. This isn't just a story of tragedy; it's a tribute to a life that touched ours in profound ways.

Through honest conversation and heartfelt memories, we aim to honor Kathleen's legacy and highlight the importance of community, resilience, and remembrance. This episode sheds light on a story that's been a silent part of our history, and we're opening up in hopes of connecting with listeners who have faced similar moments in their lives.

Tune in for an intimate discussion as we pay homage to Kathleen Ruth Smiley and reflect on the enduring effects of her story.

Stay tuned for more compelling stories about our incredible friends and experiences.

Yogi and the Bee is created and hosted by Allie Bourgeois and Bee Brooks.
