  • Love Josh but ...

    I just can't anymore. As much as I love Josh and anything dateline this show just seems to drag on and on without getting to the meat of the story. I thought it was just maybe one or two episodes but it's becoming like all of the episodes that I'm dreading listening to. I'm gonna have to un sub. I'm sorry it's me not you.

  • Takes forever

    It just takes forever to get through the story; facts keep getting repeated, assumptions being repeated; it wears me out and I can’t get to the end. Just get into the meat of discovery and facts and I will Follow you. I have to move on to better presented pods.

  • S5ep3 sounds like the “Tri-State Rapist” could be involved-right time period & MO. Just a thought…

    The more people who look, the better the chances of finding someone’s loved one. Looking forward to updates. Positive Dateline can get at least one and that’s worth it.
