  • Wanted to love it but

    No need to be so dramatic, was always so happy when you substituted for Nancy Grace but you are getting to be as annoying, not as rude, but too dramatic as well. Stop beating a story to death, Mica committed suicide please move on, every family doesn’t want to believe their child/sibling didn’t. No need to repeat a sentence twice we heard you the first time and the dramatic pauses aren’t necessary either. Stop thinking you need to sensationalize a crime that is already disturbing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mom’s 'freaky' texts with daughter’s date; Baltimore cop charged | Banfield Full Episode 11/13
Q: What is the evidence that you have that this officer was trying to kill the man as opposed to catch the man?
The officer violated policies by approaching a suspect fleeing with a vehicle rather than deescalating the situation.
Virginia Giuffre's co-writer, missing 9-year-old California girl
Q: Will we ever hear those tapes? Will we ever hear those names? Is it a matter of waiting for certain people to die because you can't defame someone who's dead?
Virginia and her co-author know the names, and so does the FBI. There is a call for the Epstein files to be released.
Virginia Giuffre's co-writer, missing 9-year-old California girl
Q: How much was edited out? Like, how many names of perpetrators were actually edited out for myriad reasons?
The purpose of her book was never to write a list of names; the list exists in court files and the goal was to provide insight into Virginia's experiences.
Melodee Buzzard last seen in early October before road trip with mom | Banfield Full Episode 10/27
Q: Do you have a gut instinct on what's happening in the Melodee Buzzard story?
I feel uneasy about it.
Melodee Buzzard last seen in early October before road trip with mom | Banfield Full Episode 10/27
Q: What advice do you have for the extended family members of Melodee Buzzard, who are desperate to see that little girl?
You hold out hope, no matter what. And as bad as you think it could be, as scary as it is... just hope and pray.
