Janine Latus, author of If I Am Missing or Dead, is the special guest speaker. From DVC's website:

"About Janine Latus: In April 2002, Janine Latus’s youngest sister, Amy, wrote a note and taped it to the inside of her desk drawer. “Today Ron Ball and I are romantically involved” it read, “but I fear I have placed myself at risk in a variety of ways. Based on his criminal past, writing this out just seems like the smart thing to do. If I am missing or dead this obviously has not protected me...” That same spring Janine Latus was struggling to leave her own abusive marriage.

"She was on a business trip, when she received a call asking if she’d heard from Amy. She was missing. After an extensive search, it took more than two weeks to find Amy’s body. It took nearly two years before her killer, her former boyfriend Ron Ball, was sentenced for her murder. 

"Haunted, Latus turned her journalistic eye inward.  Her New York Times bestseller, If I Am Missing or Dead, is a heart-wrenching journey of discovery as she traces the roots of her own -- and her sister’s -- victimization with unflinching candor. At once a confession, a call to break the cycle of abuse, and a deeply felt love letter to her baby sister, Amy, If I Am Missing or Dead is an unforgettable read, and Latus is an unforgettable speaker."
