154: A Mother's Mission: Filicide and the fight for justice

Today, Rachel is joined by two courageous mothers, Hope Mater and Brandi Morey Pols, who share their deeply personal and heartbreaking stories of losing their children—Rowan Morey, Alec, and Lydia Mater—to filicide at the hands of their biological fathers. This episode dives into:
  • The tragic stories behind Rowan, Alec, and Lydia
  • The systematic red flags and failures that led to unimaginable loss
  • Hope’s advocacy work and connection with other filicide survivors
  • Brandi’s legislative victory with the Rowan Amendment to Michigan’s AMBER Alert system
  • A tribute to Peityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker—three sisters recently killed in another filicide case—and a message of solidarity to their grieving mother, Whitney Decker
These moms are turning unimaginable grief into advocacy and change, and this episode is a raw, emotional, and powerful conversation that demands to be heard.
