  • Shame on you

    So one sided and unprofessional. Shame on you for making the family relive this and taking the blame away from a murderer.

    Love the way you look at everything from all angles. I hope there is more to come because I binged s1 & s2 in a weekend. Keep up the passion project please.

  • Desperate and Comically Amateurish

    Idk what correspondence school there two got their degrees from. They are so needy and ill informed - watch them on 20/20 (the Melanie McGuire case).

    Putting Dr. in front of your name doesn't automatically make you an expert or validates your vapid opinions. If anything, it's pathetic when you feel like you need to put that with your names. Like, I'm pretty sure the form you filled didn't have a "title" field because this isn't an airline or hotel booking. You injected it in the name field 😂

  • Excellent exploration

    I feel like it was a gambling debt. Dismembered in a remote area or a deli that does its own meat cutting.
