Show Notes
Hey true advocate,
It's me, Eric Carter-Landin, and today we're gonna be talking about a case that has a resolution to it already. Now, oftentimes I will cover a case that has a resolution to it, when it makes sense, and when it is something that illustrates a legal complexity or a legal issue in New Mexico that I thought was either interesting or pertinent This case that we're gonna cover today is somewhat related to my baby brother Jacob Landin's case, and I'm not gonna go into that right now because I want to tell you the story of Mike Snyder. First, I want you to hear all about who he was and what happened to him. Before we get into the legal complexities and all of the things that may or may not be connected to my brother's case. But hopefully, I have your attention now., I don't want this to be diluting Mike Snyder's story in any way. The connection isn't really that deep. It just has to do with the law and the way it's being applied. But, Mike's story deserves to stand on its own. So I want to give him the due respect that he deserves, and his family deserves. I am Eric Carter-Landin and this is True Consequences.

Three true crime creators walk into a conversation about advocacy, burnout, ethics, and community. Josh Hallmark (True Crime Bullshit, Unsafe Spaces) is joined by Eric Carter Landin (True Consequences, AdvocacyCon, Angels’ Voices Silenced No More) and Patrick Hinds (True Crime Obsessed) for a raw, funny, and grounded roundtable on what it takes to make true crime responsibly, how listener relationships can get complicated fast, and why trauma informed spaces for families matter.
I sit down with my mom to discuss Jacob's case and where we go from here.

Dione Begay was born on March 28th, 1975. She was the eldest of six children and is described by her sister Christine as having a positive perspective on life and a witty sense of humor which is missed by her loved ones. Dione was beautiful, vibrant, outgoing, intelligent, and family-orientated. She was a mother of four daughters and had unique, close relationships with her entire family. Dione had several tribal connections via her parents, Debbie and Laffie Begay. Dione’s mother Debbie is part of the Dakotas ‘Yankton’ and ‘Arikara’ tribe, and her father, the ‘Navajo’ and ‘Dine’ tribe. As a Native American woman, Dione Begay is one of many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in New Mexico who is yet to receive justice, despite the brutality inflicted upon her and the obvious circumstances of the crime. Her family's pleas for help have also continued to be ignored. This is the story of Dione Begay Thomas. Justice for Dion FB Page https://www.facebook.com/JusticeforDioneThomas
