  • Absolutely fascinating podcast!

    I heard Amy’s story on Something Was Wrong and also listened to What Came Next. As a fan of true crime, familicide or family annihilation have just held such a fascination for me. From the psychological reasons behind such horrific acts, I am just so curious as to how anyone gets to that point to where murdering a family member is just acceptable to the perpetrator. Ever since I heard stories about people like John List, Sef Gonzalez, Elmer Crawford and other family annihilators, I have been tr... more

ICan’t wait for a number of seasons to get under way so that I can binge eventually… The most recent three-parter is a whammy, it’s hard to listen to,I really hope that Melissa hears her own words and attempts to achieve some sort of objectivity, some empathy for people who have lost children in any way - while I am not Christian, nor do I declare any sort of religious affiliation, I do not appreciate her thoughts on deaths by suicide and her condemnation really isn’... more

  • Conflict

    Interesting show and I’m mostly on board, however the religious references and heavy pro police stance is a bit off putting since it’s quite privileged and not the experience of many.

  • Too much talking by interviewer

    Please allow the folks who have been harmed to speak more. I want to hear it from their words. You all include yourself in the abuse. Allow them to tell “their” story. Maybe when they’re done telling what happened to them you explain how it relates to your story.
