  • Good show but hate the vocal fry!

    I have appreciated the careful accounts and information, and all the interviewees generosity sharing info to give content for this case, and for the team building the story episodes for us. I’ve struggled tho with the strong creaky vocal fry of Maddie, and some of the other younger women. Have had to turn off a few times cos it just is so grating for me unfortunately.

  • Not going anywhere

    An important story but its constant reiteration without progressing much. Long episodes without anything material seems a bit of a time waste.

    It is an appalling and damaging message that is being demonstrated due to this inaction not just from the police but also from the entire justice system.

    In this case where the original Police investigation was lacking it’s seems now that n... more
