United Statesa month ago - Life/death info!
There's a LOT of information to take in here...but it's IMPERATIVE that police and our legal system understand what women are facing. Especially with the current leadership in the US and our dismal Supreme Court, protecting women & children is everyone's business. I pray for this message to get out to the right people. Keep it going! Inspiring podcaster!
Apple Podcasts5ConniecoUnited Statesa month ago - Your Insight is spot on!
Hello Laura
I really love your show! It is so important to continue what you’re doing. Women are still struggling with these situations and dying every single day! How many more have to die before law enforcement makes changes? Using a piece of paper to suggest “problem solved “ does not work! “ I just watched a documentary on Netflix about Wade Steven Wilson- Worst Ex Ever. If the cop would have done his job the 2 women he killed would have been alive today! But he was on Wades side!
I hope we... more
Apple Podcasts5Girl FredUnited Statesa month ago - Fascinating and enlightening. A total game changer.
Undoubtedly the most compelling true crime podcast I’ve ever listened to. From the detailed deconstruction of crimes to the victims stories which keep them at the heart of every episode, this is a total education and an absolute game changer. I first listened to an episode months ago and since then I’ve been chewing these episodes up and am just about caught up. I feel better educated, empowered and motivated by Laura who is so passionate about protecting victims. Just brilliant.
