  • He def didn’t die by suicide

    No doubt about it, this case needs to be reopened, and this podcast proves it. The story is told with such clear and concise detail, and leaves me wondering why the case closes with the conclusion of death by suicide, and why it hasn’t gotten more attention.

  • Engrossing

    Fantastic re-creation of the disappearance/ crime time line and engaging storytelling. I think the podcast should have a season two to delve into more crimes that are shrouded in mystery. Great journalism.

  • Excellent

    I do not believe this was a suicide! Doesn’t make sense that the police involved won’t return Joseph’s items or share photos.
