  • top quality. EXCEPT FOR....

    This is absolutely one of the best podcasts i have ever heard, and I am a podcast junkie. And unfortunately many true crime podcasts miss the mark, some hosts try and make them comedic (that will never make sense to me), be an excuse to drink wine while talking about crime, or some other ill-conceived approach that robs it of its gravity. This is amazing, and I love the careful consideration each case is given, and its great hearing from women who were on the force or are on the force today. HOW... more

  • Outstanding! True Crime, Interviews+ Details

    Celeste Headley does outstanding work here. Jam packed with footage from family of 5+ murders from 70’s. Solid facts, shocking details but very well delivered. I enjoyed this podcast so much. My heart breaks for these families. The details are raw, emotional and make you think. But it not disturbing or gory.

    I would give it 10 stars if possible! Excellent work. This collaboration absolutely did their homework on this podcast. Bravo! 👏 This kind of devotion to fact, detail and analysis are why... more

  • A Bit Woke and Biased 3.9 ⭐️

    I think the investigation in this podcast was excellent and the insight of the guests were great. However, it’s a bit woke, wanting to spin the race card in places they prob don’t belong - I’m not saying racism and prejudice did not exist in the 1970s because it very much did but this podcast doesn’t focus on the evidence that the highway phantom was likely a BLACK man. One of the cold case detectives on this even thought so herself, and she was a black female detective. You gotta laugh at the a... more

    I like how Ben reads the police report in episode two. That’s been from stuff they don’t want you to know podcast. That was a nice surprise.
