  • Episode 383 too graphic

    The episode on Shaniya Davis was too graphic. The poor five year old girl was raped and they play audio of how they knew she’d been raped that describes the evidence.

    This girl was raped and murdered and you are exploiting her death for shock value. I’m tempted to report this episode.

  • AI?

    This is either ai or an insane person speaking… “it was a body…. A dead body” I mean duh?? Coupled with the overuse of words like “remarked” and “the type of place…” really makes me believe they are at least ai scripts.

  • Has become one of my favs

    I stumbled upon the pod cast looking for a certain case and I have been hooked since. She goes into great detail of every case. I actually love her voice too! I will admit, I do cry when the children cases are talked about. Keep doing what you are doing! 🫶🏼
