  • Too much

    This drug out forever with cliff hangers that turned into nothing but to make another episode. It could have been done in a much shorter span. Disappointing.

  • STOP OVERUSING the word LIKE!!🤦🏼‍♀️

    I enjoyed the show but Q & A is ridiculous …. Go back and listen to it ladies… you (over)use the word “LIKE” in at least every sentence if not every other word!!! It’s so annoying and something your generation does frequently. It diminishes your podcast, makes you both sound inexperienced and un professional! Clean it up ladies, you’re on the right track!

  • Very good

    Season 3 was the best podcast I have listened to. Season 8 was very good as well. The rest are just not the same quality.

  • Meh

    Interesting subject matter but sometimes lazy, immature writing, especially in the early seasons (“Cell phones were hardly around back in the 90s” “that’s crazy”). Also, I hate Ashley Flowers, who comes across as an arrogant, entitled twit. So that’s a ding

  • I don’t know

    I really enjoyed listening in the beginning, but at some point the seasons are dragged on forever, going down every possible avenue without really being able to conclude if or how they relate to the original case. I often end up confused by all of the side quests that I forget who the victim was that started the season in the first place. I think the podcast would benefit from some cuts and really just filtering out the characters and info that are concretely related to a case.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 8: Bonus Q&A
Q: Is there ongoing consideration of re-examining Rhoda's church connections as part of the investigation?
There is continued interest in exploring Rhoda's church associations; the hosts describe reviewing past church-linked leads and acknowledge that information in that area has been inconclusive but worth revisiting with fresh eyes.
Season 8: Bonus Q&A
Q: Could the Lane Bryant case involve DNA or voice analysis linking suspects to evidence?
Yes, genetic testing and voice analysis were discussed as potential avenues; authorities have access to DNA and voice samples, but practical challenges such as sample quality and consent from involved individuals complicate progress.
Season 8: Bonus Q&A
Q: What was the survivor hearing or experiencing during the 40 minutes inside the store?
The survivor's perspective is crucial; the interview aimed to understand what she heard or saw, and whether her memories could clarify if the incident was robbery-focused or a possible hit, though access to complete audio has been restricted by authorities.
ANNOUNCING: Dark Valley
Q: If you ever found out who did this to you, would you want to talk to them?
Absolutely, to ask countless questions about their motivations and actions.
ANNOUNCING: Dark Valley
Q: What's your mission with this?
To be a voice for the victims and to seek answers about what happened to them and the connection to her own case.
