Author / Owner / Podcast host
Hi, I'm Bill Mitchell.
On June 3, 2005, my daughter, Kristin, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in her apartment in Conshohocken, PA.
Twenty days prior, our family attended Kristin’s graduation from Saint Joseph’s University. It was also the last time we saw her alive.
Since those dark days, I have passionately spoken out on the need for awareness and education about the warning signs and dangerous consequences of dating violence. I have delivered over 200 speeches before high schools, colleges, law enforcement assemblies, and private companies. I have been interviewed on TV, radio, podcasts, and webinars.
In 2020, I published the "When Dating Hurts" book (Amazon). It is a memoir that details Kristin’s murder and my family’s journey towards healing through helping others. This memoir contains lifesaving information on how to detect an unhealthy relationship and how to be safe. When Dating Hurts is available on Amazon in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
I launched my podcast, also entitled "When Dating Hurts, in 2021. With this podcast, I interview domestic violence leaders, law enforcement professionals, parents of murdered children, and survivors—both female and male.
I feel the loss of my daughter conferred upon me a solemn responsibility to use my hard-earned insights about dating and domestic violence to inform and save lives.
I am willing to speak about any aspect of what happened since 2005.
