  • Fools

    It’s is very obvious this guy has fooled you. Episode a year later just annoyed me. He has duped you and played stupid. Waste of time hearing this podcast .

  • Intriguing & Insightful

    Pleasantly surprised with this pod. I showed up for a true crime story but stayed for the unconventional story-telling and genuine curiosity of where it was heading. The hosts chemistry and willingness to be so open and raw almost made it feel like I was eavesdropping on an intimate 3-way call. I loved the real-time “work-shopping”, both on the case’s investigative side and the intimate personal introspection of the hosts. Did not expect to witness a real life mystery getting solved, or the emo... more

  • I’m finding this fascinating.

    I have not been familiar with any of your prior work, but I am finding the storytelling to be really interesting. I am on episode four and I’m curious how this will play out. But it sounds like you guys ended up dealing with somebody who is extremely sick. All of these catfish type stories are just unbelievable and such Timewasters but they have devastating effects for the people involved.

  • Started Strong

    I haven’t finished it yet, but I cannot stand that this man has done so much evil. Having lost family members to suicide, it’s so cruel and messed up the lengths he went through to have this story and all the characters involved to cat fish you. He could have put this much effort into writing a book. This very much feels like this could be a lifetime story, or a Johnny Depp movie. It’s giving You vibes. I also feel like you guys could have looked up the obituary or done more research, but I unde... more
