    I love true crime and I love the PNW. I’ve had to stop listening because of the unnecessary political commentary and insensitive joking when talking about someone who was murdered. Please stick to the story.

  • As a family member of one of the subjects in their podcasts, I can tell you that a lot of it is pure bullshit, inaccurate and biased. Fucking amazing that they never contacted anyone associated with the murder yet act like they know what happened, what and why actions were taken. The author's inane and giddy comments are unprofessional and insulting. Their stuff is trash.

An Outsider And Honest Besides
Q: What was your initial motivation to cover this case as a reporter?

Many were surprised to learn about her disappearance, and some high school friends expressed gratitude for sharing Kristin's story, leading to reconnections even after many years.
The Kid - Part 2
Q: What inspired Teresa Letcher to write about Kristin's story?
Teresa felt a deep emotional connection and a sense of frustration regarding the ongoing mystery of Kristin's disappearance, motivating her to document her story in the book, Kristine Can You Hear Me.
Green River Killer Part 1: Victims of Opportunity
Q: What were some of the bigger things that were most accurate and inaccurate about the FBI profile?
Many aspects were accurate, particularly regarding the collection of trophies from victims, while others, like the killer being nocturnal, were less true as attacks often occurred in the early morning.

Q: What makes Gary Ridgway's killings different from others?
He didn't show the same kind of unraveling as other killers; instead, he maintained a methodical approach to his killings throughout the years, adapting only when necessary.
