  • Excellent!

    Great job! I binged it all in one sitting. These are the kind of true crime podcasts that I love. An actual boots on the ground investigation. I hope this won’t be the last from Tucker.

  • Washington Parish is corrupt

    I grew up in Franklinton and I’m glad that this case is still being looked at because something just isn’t right about it. I always thought the Washington Parish Justice System was full of corruption I hope and pray that all this comes to light and they catch whoever done this

  • Addicted!

    Learned about the podcast when I went to the Washington Parish Fair and found a card on my car window advertising it. Started listening on the way back home in St. Tammany Parish and waited on pins and needles for each new episode to drop. I pray that the work done here on this podcast helps bring Donna’s killer(s) to justice! Can’t wait for the next installment of the podcast!
