  • Inaccurate

    Poor reporting. Details are inaccurate and poorly researched. As someone who has a personal connection to one of the cases reported on, there were so many mistakes made in an attempt to paint a picture that is not accurate. Not to mention the sexist ramble and details of data collection that were irrelevant to the case.

  • Love your podcast

    I absolutely love listening to your podcast. Your focus is always the victims, which is how it should be. I have a request. Can you cover the 2011 death of a 32-year-old teacher named Ellen Greenberg in Philadelphia PA area. Her death was ruled a suicide despite 20 stab wounds (some from behind into the neck ). Her parents are still fighting for this to be over ruled. There was a lot of noise around the case about a year ago and unfortunately, it’s died down. I think your podcast can make a dif... more

  • Get to it

    Answer the questions, organize, get some flow, they never really get to the point. There is circling, side thought, rambling, a lot of stories about their careers and their experiences which seems more self congratulatory than actually adding to our understanding of forensics. I understand the host is credentialed, educated and experienced but his responses don’t clarify , he isn’t even answering the questions.

    The audio is excellent, their voices are well suited to public speaking/podcasting,... more

Q: How does it get to the point where you're going, we got this rum bottle that's wrapped up in the blanket that is present?
Investigators take time to document and work through the scene. A substantial liquor bottle can be recognized as a potential blunt-force weapon, and its position and blood evidence can help establish its significance.

Q: What did the blood tell relative to an identity about who might be involved in a case like this?
