I wish you could tell us where the supposed suspect is living now because I wonder if I live in his area.. This podcast is so interesting to me.

  • Ads and repetition

    holy ads Batman! Sadly, like many US owned or produced podcasts, it is so overproduced and repetitious. Ads continually interrupt the flow but I wouldn’t subscribe anyway because so much is repeated - what’s coming up, what happened last episode. This is such a shame as this is an interesting and important story.

    Despite the horrors of these despicable people, I was immersed each season. Matt and team did a thorough investigation, and thoughtful process of respecting the families of the deceased. I look forward to more from Matt’s work.
