I was really gripped by this story. I particularly enjoyed the campy voices depicting the antagonist and her lawyer. Very funny. She must be mortified my this. And she so deserves it. Great podcast.

I listen to A LOT of
Podcasts and they all have annoyingly repetitive ads but this was the worst yet. If I have to hear Gladwell say “OOOKla”
one more time I’ll tear my hair out.
And also, this family sounds beyond gullible. Even at the end confronting Leslie they kept up the gullibility. Hard to justify.
