United States3 months ago - Good story but no update?
Super interesting story, but I’m quite disappointed that the last 3-4 episodes are a build up of new information to be released that is never touched on. The story just ends without any updates
Apple Podcasts3LeslienicholeeUnited States5 months ago It's always weird reading true crime cuz it's a tragic story. But overall, the beginning is pretty interesting and then it fizzles out to a kind of anticlimactic non-ending end to the story. It's kind of hard to wrap it up I guess, but overall knowing what I knew now if I had to re-listen I probably wouldn't.

What a fascinating story. I’ve lived in East Texas for 20 years now between Longview and Gilmer. I heard about the story when I first moved here and and the news will update it every year. But I had no idea the magnitude of this investigation. I’ve never heard of a crown with this mini twist. What a great podcast I really would love to hear an update.
Apple Podcasts5lcornell18United States2 years ago - Could be better
As an avid true crime listener the first thing I noticed was the tone of this show. It lacks reverence and compassion. The person telling the story seems more interested in the drama of the story rather than in the individual who was murdered. I don’t like that. He also takes a lot of liberties when talking about members of the community. He talks about people as if they are just part of “his” podcast and not actual people. It’s disheartening. You can tell true crime stories with reverence, comp... more
