Author Reginald L Reed, Jr. joins "Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley to discuss his powerful new memoir, "The Day My Mother Never Came Home." The book tells the story of the murder of Reggie's mother Selonia when Reggie was only 6 years old, and the indictment and trial of his father some 32 years later for his wife's cold case murder. He explores themes of grief, loss, and forgiveness as he outlines his own life experiences.
