- BEST PODCAST EVER
This really is the best podcast I’ve listened to and I’ve been listening to true crime podcasts for years. Nothing comes close!

Jessica’s voice is perfect and the stories are riveting. Keep them coming Jess!
Apple Podcasts5ProvRIUnited States2 months ago - My new favorite podcast
I’m so excited that I found DNA: ID! I’ve been reading/listening to true crime for years. Even on the best podcasts, I always find myself wishing they would give more detail, especially about the scientific stuff. I’m not a scientist, and Jessica explains everything perfectly for an interested layperson like me. Plus, I never get tired of hearing stories about criminals who thought they’d gotten away with it getting caught through IGG.
Apple Podcasts5Freya221bUnited States2 months ago - Well done, riveting and no BS
Ms Bettencort has great pace and doesn’t mess around. She has very few personal opinions, when she does have a comment, it’s usually something you’re already thinking. You can hear all the research that goes into each episode. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone, not just true crime people!
Apple Podcasts5DonnainVaUnited States2 months ago - Great concept
Loving binging this show. (On episode 4) Enjoying the short but thoroughly researched and summarized episodes.
My only feedback is that it really sounds like you’re reading and rushing through the material. I anticipate that your cadence, rhythm and presentation may improve as you get more experience.
I plan to keep going. Thank you!!
