  • Disgusting

    Not normal true crime. This is disgusting filth that has no boundaries for animal cruelty or child abuse. It’s repulsive and vile. Zero entertainment value.

  • Uneducated and vicious

    Talking about murderous blood based a series of coincidences is unacceptable. Father and son committed crimes, the exact same crimes other criminals commit. There are only that many crimes one can commit and two criminals both committed them, alongside thousands of others. How is that a blood connection ?!?!

  • Lost Credibilty

    I listened to Twins vs Twins and found it to be a little long but interesting story. However, when I went to read more about it on my own I discovered that the names of victim and his twin were incorrect. They were actually Jarreau and Rashaan Reid. I don’t remembering hearing “The names in this episode have been changed..” it destroyed all credibility this podcast had to me.
