  • Unlike any other podcast!

    I found Derrick’s podcast by chance and I’m blown away by Detective Perspective. I am an avid True Crime listener and prefer unsolved cases. Derrick really does bring a different perspective than anything I’ve ever listened to. I cannot tell you how many times I listen to a case I’ve read/listened to numerous times, only to hear Derrick’s detective perspective and it has me thinking in a totally different way. His attention to detail is also phenomenal. Cannot get enough of this podcast and I lo... more

    I was thrilled to see you were covering her case only to be extremely let down by how quickly you zoomed through it and didn’t give your usual deep dive into various possibilities during your perspective portion. I hope some day someone will thoroughly investigate this case and stop just accepting people’s statements with no verification.
