  • Maxim Furek you are fake…yikes!

    Your regurgitation of every bad book and movie on the demonic is a joke. OMG you dislike the Warrens yet everything out of your mouth is verbatim from all of their work. There IS NOT an exorcist at every parish. Any priest can come by and bless your home. That is vastly different than calling in an exorcist. One cannot just splash themselves with holy water and a crucifix and be protected. I get tired of “experts” who make mockery of my Catholic faith.

    I’m a paid subscriber to Crawlspace/Missing but continue to get endless ads. Have tried every conceivable way to communicate this but ads keep coming and are completely ruining content. Please please sort this out.

  • Frustrated

    I used to enjoy this show and I still do enjoy the new episodes but they very frequently post old episodes on both missing and crawlspace and don’t usually inform you if the episode is old so I find myself halfway through an episode realizing I already listened to this episode months ago. I get very annoyed that I wasted my time. I might stop listening to both shows because I don’t want to waste my time and feel a little like I’m being tricked into listening to an episode more than once maybe fo... more

  • Fake callers

    Apparently this show changed its format recently,..they now take “callers” to share their stories..fine,..but it’s obvious the callers are scripted..I say obviously, but perhaps some people could be fooled into thinking it’s real,..but if you listen with a critical ear, you quickly realize that the back and forth is too smooth and it just doesn’t fly..

635 // The Tylenol Killer's Son w/ Joseph Cibelli
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your decision to write this book?
The author explains that the book emerged from a need to assemble and present exculpatory and evidentiary pieces he had gathered over years, driven by a moral duty to the victims' families and a desire to force a closer look from authorities, even though the author didn't initially intend to publish. He emphasizes that the timeline is built from personal observations, family documents, and new information obtained through outreach to law enforcement and victims' relatives.
626 // Nancy Guthrie - Still Missing w/ Dr. David Perlmutter
Q: What do you think the media and law enforcement would do working together if her pacemaker showed no heartbeat?

Q: What does Clarice Starling bring out of Lector?
Clarice Starling is crucial in understanding Lector; their relationship allows the audience to see both characters in a new light, highlighting their mutual struggles for understanding.
