  • Pointless

    This podcast is a waste of time. We don’t know anything about the evidence, so every episode is speculation and filler.

    Really enjoyed this, but very much looking forward to answers. Like I’m sure many others are. It seems there’s not much at all on this case still yet.

  • Disappointing and missing the local voice

    As a person living within a km of the area, I’m actually shocked at how poorly this has been put together so far and has me questioning the value of these podcasts.

    References to an attack “in the area” a year earlier are relevant but not once has it been mentioned it was in another town over half an hour away. That’s important.

    Reference to the police clearly “knowing more”, but no reference to the clear incompetence of daily statements saying there were “no suspicious circumstances in Sam’s d... more
