Andy Kahan has been a guest on Tricia's True Crime Radio Show several times to discuss the Emma Thompson case (Abigail Young parole; Emma's Law, etc.) Maybe Tricia could have Andy as a guest to discuss the Mona Nelson trial (Jonathan Foster case) since he will be attending the trial. Andy is well spoken and Tricia is an excellent host. I think it would be a most interesting show.
For your info, Andy Kahan was of assistance to Mary Gifford, Jonathan's maternal grandmother, shortly after Jonathan was found and thereafter. He was with Mary during some media interviews and especially the day of Jonathan Foster's Memorial Service on January 4, 2011.
I attended the beautiful Memorial Service in Houston and urn burial in Pearland, TX. Prior to the service, the Houston media interviewed Mary as well as her son and Jonathan's maternal uncle, Glenn Scrimsher, in the church annex. Jonathan lived with Glenn, his wife and family in Missouri prior to moving to TX.
Reporters from the major Houston TV stations, i.e., ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, KIAH (Ch 39) and the Houston Chronicle were at the Memorial Service. I hope they will cover this trial . . . we shall see what coverage they will allocate for the Mona Nelson trial (Jonathan Foster murder case).
