I am following the story, The Truth about Amy and loved your perspective on her case. Found your Podcast. What started as curiosity about PS has taken me on a journey of self discovery! Totally mind blowing insights about myself and how I’ve been ignoring all those red flags, gut feelings. Thank you for empowering me to seek change and clarity.

Crime Analyst was recommended by my friend so that I could understand the grooming, coercion and control her daughter had suffered by a clever, manipulative and, frankly, evil man. We have found it very empowering, even though the continual and continuing unfairness to female victims can be so disheartening. Thank you Laura for the education. I have recommended this podcast to many of friends.
