The Music is the Final Turn in the LockFrom a booth in Okeechobee to a song for Liz—the soundtrack of an independent investigationIf you go and listen to my podcast from Episode 1 to Episode 25—with Episode 26 coming soon—you will hear a woman telling you about her mother's story and her own journey to prove the truth. You hear me go from trying to share that story to finally cracking the pattern wide open. The podcast documents the real path that led directly to 4/14. I was headed there all along and didn't know it. Frederick started this story and he left it marked with the 4/14. He was obsessed, and the 4/14 signature proves it. Uncovering that date validates my own persistence in proving our truth. He was a theatrical mind—his degree and this entire staging prove it, from the heists and the flea market to the hospital scene and the gatekeeping of Anthony Amore. Anthony wasn't getting up each day protecting Isabella and her museum, nope. He was protecting a billionaire family, one of the most powerful families in America. And Suzanne Kenney was the one person in the room not afraid to look back. I’m clearly not built to walk away—and their silence only made me sharper.
Fifteen years, and the past year and a half has brought the most discoveries and changes, bringing this story to its eventual boiling point. Over the years I have tried social media, tried posting on Reddit and other forums, but the trolls are worse than standing up against the billionaires—or the trolls were tools of the billionaires. Either way, I still gathered my evidence. I also gathered inspirational statements that over the years helped me get through this. I also love music, and most of the music on my playlist are songs that keep me uplifted and focused. Like Rachel Platten's Fight Song, Miley Cyrus's Flowers, Waiting for Superman by Chris Daughtry—this is a small example. But the fact that I have managed to turn this story into songs is about as amazing as finding the 4/14 that day. I'm still stunned at how decades of investigative teams missed it. Several Boston newsrooms had entire units dedicated to this case for years... which makes you wonder who was actually looking, and who was told to look away. The way these songs came to life is actually pretty funny. I was initially working on social media content—working with Gemini to build fake-chat-style video scripts and experimenting with talking-to-singing transitions. After a lot of trial, error, and brainstorming to find the right medium, I started testing audio over on Suno. I sat there wondering if the 4/14 would make a good song. Since 4/14 is the master key, I went back to Gemini and simply asked what it thought of the idea of making a song about the 4/14. I honestly expected the AI to spit out an error or tell me I was crazy. Instead, Gemini loved the concept and actually generated an audio track right out of the gate. From there, the lyrics were already so spot-on that I only had to make about two small edits, and the anthem was born.
Next, I had fun working on The Booth in Okeechobee. I wrote the lyrics first, and when I went to prompt the AI for generating the genre and musical tone, I realized instantly what it needed. It reminded me of a song I recall from about 30 years ago called Seminole Wind by John Anderson—the same song that recently was announced as going to be Florida's state song. I hadn't heard it in many years, but when I went to set my lyrics to music, that was the exact tone I wanted. I remembered how that song was like a hug; my husband would dance in the living room holding our daughter to it when she was very young. That and the song Wild Horses. Then I was working on the Crime & Canvas store, updating my products. My sister-in-law, Liz, was looking at the website down in Florida while I was up here in Michigan. She saw the mug that states "She needed a hero so that is what she became" and asked, "Hmm, where are the heroes? If Batman was a real person, what would he do? Would he get involved?" Of course he would get involved—it is corruption, historical heritage, and lots of money. As soon as she finished saying it, I said, that is a song! I wrote down what she said and worked with the AI on that track. Here I have done over 200 newsletters, and there were lots of emails prior to the newsletters. I haven't gotten anywhere against that wall of silence. Now I have another creative medium to tell this tale. I can only hope that music is the final turn in the lock, now that I have the 4/14 key. I have enjoyed turning these inspirational statements into music. They are the very words that held me together through this journey as everyone around let go of me. I hope you enjoy them and realize they are words that were my strength, and I didn't realize how much until I heard them in song. My Song List So Far:My latest song, The Squeak & The Signal, is dedicated to my sister-in-law Liz. She has been an incredible part of this journey over the past two years, so she definitely deserved a track of her own. After all, if Anthony got one (Even If They Change The Narrative), Liz earned hers ten times over! My social media is growing, people are watching, still not stepping out of the shadows. I have never let that slow me down. I can submit as many songs as I can produce, and that is what I intend to do. Those songs poured out of me like a waterfall. I do have more songs planned. But I think the above gets the point across. I am never, ever giving up! Enjoy the music...
