Being featured on the COLD podcast motivated me to launch the 10-88 Podcast, with the Police Life Season giving first responders a space to share stories and find support. My aim to help those affected by toxic relationships or missing due to intimate partner violence led to the Escape Safe Season—a platform for true crime discussions and raising awareness.
The Escape Safe Season, season one, is a true crime podcast. Your host, Ellis Maxwell, was the lead detective on the Susan Cox Powell investigation, West Valley City, Utah in 2009. It’s an in-depth dive into the investigation, visiting each day of this three-year investigation. The goal is to not only entertain but to bring awareness to intimate partner violence and abuse. Help those who need help escaping, leveraging his private investigation agency. And searching for the UnFound, Susan Cox Powell who is still missing!
Find the UnFound! Help victims become Survivors & Escape Safe, so they can Survive & Thrive!
The Police Life Season
The Police Life centers on the experiences of those who serve emphasizing the importance of humanizing, recognizing, and providing them with a platform to share their personal stories while entertaining the true crime enthusiast. This perspective aims to foster understanding and respect for those who serve and protect our communities.
The Power of Storytelling
Discussing difficult situations—especially those that have been bottled up, kept quiet, or only minimally addressed—can lead to healing and peace. This was evident in my own experience when I participated in the COLD podcast, which focused on the Susan Cox Powell investigation. Although I believed I had processed the events beforehand, answering a series of questions over several days allowed me to delve deeper into the case details, my feelings, and my personal experiences. This process ultimately brought a significant sense of relief.
