SANDUSKY — Still claiming prosecutorial misconduct, Ashli Ford said earlier today that she is giving up the podcasting business because it’s ruined her life.

Ford cited ongoing criminal trials, high legal expenses, and a desire to relocate out of Ohio with her family as the reasons behind her decision. In a lengthy social media statement teasing what she called her “very last podcast,” Ford claimed she is seeking permission from the court through her legal counsel to move to another state.

“I never wanted to be a podcaster. I have hated every second of it,” Ford wrote. “Fighting for justice in cold cases has destroyed my entire life. I lost all of my work contracts, my home, basic freedoms, and good reputation.”

Before becoming a podcaster, Ford mostly worked as a waitress in area restaurants. Her children are grown and do not live with her.
