Everything about this podcast is first-rate. Do yourself a favor and start from the first episode if you’ve never li... more
This review interface is broken. WHY DO MY REVIEWS ALL SAY "TEDIOUSLY REPETITIVE"?? We pay monthly for this service. It appears that Amazon is only interested in profits, not comprehensive customer service.
This show is well researched and presented. It’s a relief to hear these horrific crimes have been solved. Thank God for DNA and this who devoted their lives to solving these crimes.
The cases are always well researched and presented. This podcast is on my regular playlist. Thanks for all of your hard work telling these victims’ stories.
The research, detail, and pace of story telling is outstanding. So too is the way Jessica Bettencourt treats the cases: she is at once frank about the facts and sensitive towards the victims and their families. She recognises the tenacity of the investigators, highlights the failures of the system and ultimately tells a gripping tale. The absolute best true crime podcast out there.
