  • Laura is amazing

    I love listening to true crime stories, but Crime Analyst is something different, something deeper, something better, because of her expertise and real compassion for the victims; this a must-listen podcast for anyone interested in learning to read the signs leading to crimes against women. Thank you for all the work you do towards stopping femicides!
