    Couldn’t make it to the end because anyone involved keeps saying a sentence then going you know. I thought I would leave this review you know. We had a certain procesare to follow you know. I went and talked to the gran and told her before the search you know. I DON’T KNOW becase of i did i would not be listening in the first place! Then the sister is like yeah and then we investigated this like you know. Less annoying to read about this case.

  • One of my favorites

    I just happened upon this podcast, and I’m so glad I did. It has turned out to be one of my favorites. Great storytelling by the podcasters. I have always loved true crime, and this was a top 3.

    I hope this family can someday have closure and peace.

  • Hard to Follow

    I wanted to like this but I’ve tried to listen to it twice and I feel like the author just goes on and on explaining why she does what she does and how she does it yada yada……I really need someone to do a deep dive into this case so I can know the whole story.
