United Statesa year ago - Good
Good but drags on a little at the end. Also how many time can I hear him say the perpetrator’s name.
Apple Podcasts4M_A_Cross1997United Statesa year ago - Could only listen to three minutes
Keith The Morrisons over the top, overly dramatic made up and fake delivery turned me off completely. Couldn’t listen to more than 3 minutes.
Apple Podcasts1CalCCCCXXXCCCUnited States2 years ago - KEITH MORRISON ROCKS!!
I could listen to Keith Morrison talking all day!
You can tell he cares about what he’s doing. This new podcast is fabulous. Intriguing!! Thank you!
Apple Podcasts5SclarkknapikUnited States2 years ago - Excitement and questioning
Over all this crime literally shocks me because I’ve been to Beverly Hills and learning about this murder reminds me about my trip to the states for a vacation and this podcast is my first one listening and I always wonder of what’s the deal with the photographer who could have something to do with kristis death

Fantastic Podcast!! I was glued to every word!
Apple Podcasts5Caligirl1201United States2 years ago - My mom was almost his victim
My mother was in LA in 1989. She always told us a story about feeling like someone was following her when she was on my dad’s business trip at the West Bonaventure Hotel. When she turned around, she saw a man. As she started walking faster, so did he. She was overwhelmed with fear and sprinted and somehow made it to an elevator before he could get to her. She was able to find a group of men and hysterically explained to them what had happened, and they brought her to security. Security also call... more

I’d listen to Keith Morrison read a shopping list!
Apple Podcasts5djdflpUnited States2 years ago - Good listen
Well laid out and unlike other reviews I found the host to make the series much more enjoyable. Not my usual subject but got hooked, recommended.

United Kingdom2 years ago - Host’s melodramatic voice and phrasings ruin it
Interesting story. Insufferable host.
Apple Podcasts2kryptosamUnited States2 years ago Very well written and produced. Gripping story, kept me entertained for an entire road trip. And I could listen to Keith Morrison narrate anything!
Podcast Addict52 years agoMeepsLabs- Terrible host
Such a shame, this podcast had so much potential but the host is insufferable…not sure if it’s because I’m from the UK and generally find American hosts pretty cringey but this guy takes the biscuit. Couldn’t listen.
Apple Podcasts1iretips6575United Kingdom2 years ago Love listening to this mans voice! Sooooooo soothing!
Podchaser52 years agosherrihart74- Another great Dateline podcast series!
I remember this case when it happened, I lived in LA at the time. I had no idea of how things have unfolded since then. I can’t believe such a violent sex offender will have continuous chances for parole, that’s terrifying. Thank you for waking people up to this, I hope California is paying attention.
Apple Podcasts5JanBonJoviUnited States2 years ago - My least favorite Dateline series
Sadly, this was a disappointing series compared to others done by Keith and Dateline. The story, while incredibly sad, just did not have the robustness and meat required for a 6-episode series. The final episode felt completely disconnected from the main story and was more about an ego trip for the main female contributor.
