  • Interesting story, told very well

    I really enjoyed this podcast. It was told clearly and with lots of interviews with the main characters. I was very touched by the honoring of Dr. Garcia through the tree dedicated to him. What a beautiful tribute, and I am grateful that the producers included this detail.

  • So many unanswered questions

    I have so many questions after finishing this. Why didn’t the prosecutors drill down on why Jordan was so obsessed with getting Eric’s items after he knew he was dead? Why did he call the police? I need this redone as a proper doc
