  • A Little Girl's Last Words: Gizzell Ford

    A Little Girl's Last Words: Gizzell Ford
    Jul 9 2025

    She was vibrant, and full of potential. A little girl who dreamed of becoming a doctor, who wrote about love, hope, and perseverance in the pages of her pink diary. But behind the words and her radiant smile, 8-year-old Gizzell Ford was fighting to survive in a world no child should ever know.

    When authorities finally opened the door to her grandmother’s apartment, what they uncovered was devastating. And what emerged afterward; a heartbreaking story captured in the child’s own handwriting, would leave even seasoned investigators shaken.

    In this episode, I examine the harrowing final weeks of Gizzell Ford’s life. A story of control, cruelty, and silent suffering, all hidden in plain sight. What warning signs were missed? And how did a system meant to protect her fail so completely?

  • Newlyweds, Secrets & a Deadly Knock at the Door: Rick and Gail Brink

    Newlyweds, Secrets & a Deadly Knock at the Door: Rick and Gail Brink
    Jun 25 2025

    They were young, in love, and barely a year into marriage when someone walked in and took their future.

    Rick and Gail Brink were settling into the rhythms of newlywed life in rural Michigan when they were suddenly found murdered, execution-style, in their home. No signs of a break-in. No forced entry. Just silence, and two lives cut short.

    The investigation stretched decades, through dead ends, re-opened files, links to two other murders, and whispers that never quite went away. And at the centre of it all? A man who’d always insisted he knew nothing… until he didn’t. The expolive secret that followed would shock a community, a courtroom and divide family members.

    In this episode of Cup of Coffee and Crime, I unravel a case that starts with promise, ends in bloodshed, and took nearly 30 years to crack wide open.
