    I hear you! As the parent of a son killed in Cleveland your frustration with the CPD broke my heart. I prayed that no other families were treated the way we were and then I heard your experience. Our detective never got back to us after that beer (it’s been more than a year).

  • 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.

Ever since I heard stories about people like John List, Sef Gonzalez, Elmer Crawford and other family annihilators, I have been tr... more

    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.
