  • Poor family

    Started out really well but…..so much chatter about Tony and his determination to pin the murder on someone who had NO motive. Had to speed through last 4-5 episodes…sheesh! So sorry but, it was a nothing burger in the end and I felt like the poor family was harassed all over again.

  • Storytelling was good

    A cold case I had not heard of before. I think I would have liked Sissy. It is a darned shame this case and many others remained unsolved. Appreciate the objective view on Tony’s investigation. I understand journalism takes dogged persistence but I think this podcast was harsh on the murder victim’s family members. We had a tragic accidental killing of a family member. We were harassed by the media and never spoke to them. I get why the family doesn’t want to speak to the podcast.

  • Wrong tone

    The writing, tone and music were off - the intonation of the hosts was odd. It pulled up everyone's trauma without much emotional awareness on the part of the hosts and writers. Very sad story. Lots of fingers pointed with no evidence. Many interviewed seemed uncomfortable and confused about what the point was. Felt quite unethical throughout.

  • Excellent!

    Thanks so much for this. I grew up in the 80’s in Trenton and remember this case. I kept newspaper clippings and often wondered if it would ever be solved. After I moved away, I’d look the case up now and then but there wasn’t much by way of updates but somehow I stumbled onto this podcast. The research was great and I learned so much that I didn’t know. Hopefully someday there will be resolution.

  • Imitative w no substance

    Tedious storytelling, potentially maligning a family (with no evidence) that has already been through trauma…for what purpose? podcast employs skillful true crime audio techniques (kudos to audio engineers) but there is no there there. The hosts are annoying after over and over again. Hate to post a bad review but these folks had no problem implicating people, one by name, with murder accusations with no more than a deceased detectives hunches…and zero evidence or motive.
