United Statesa month ago - One of the best!
One of my favourite podcasts. Well-researched and respectful to the victims. Also very informative re DNA and IGG.
I love the occasional (well-deserved) snark!

Canadaa month ago - Brilliant
This is the best and most hopeful podcast on true crime there is. Best because the research is so thorough and of a very high standard, and hopeful because it shows law enforcement actively using the new dna technology to solve decades old cases that have been completely unsolvable for so long. It is also definitive in the sense that the dna is so certain.

United Kingdoma month ago - Pleasantly Surprised
I thought this subject could get repetitive but nothing could be further from the truth. The host presents a detailed account of the crime and how it was solved-every step. The detail helps a person understand why some decisions are made. There is no fluff here. Just the facts. This is now in my top 5 pods!
Apple Podcasts5BozherUnited States2 months ago - Great podcasts
I absolutely love the family genealogy side of the podcast as well as the forensic information. We’re getting two for the price of one. Which makes it highly interesting into how these work in tandem to catch a killer. So why, oh why, are there not more podcasts following this method??!!?
