- not a dream!
I read the book and listened to the podcast. She never claimed it was a dream. That was the excuse of an incompetent law enforcement officer. What she experienced was dissociative amnesia and PTSD! It’s a complete shame that this crime wasn’t better investigated.

I have this book and I found it to be so fascinating, and also so tragic. There is SO much more important and relevant info in her book that you absolutely have to read in order to truly grasp everything that happened. She includes SO much physical evidence of the crime scene, official reports, and so much more. If you read the book, you will see clearly that she has been telling the truth all of these years, but law enforcement/state & local officials have worked diligently to cover their mista... more

How to describe this one…
The narrator clearly changes his voice during the episodes to try to add more drama or land a voice-over gig or something. It’s rather comical to listen to him narrate, and then to hear his natural voice inflections and speech during the closing credits.
The voice over actors during the episodes do their best to sound like some sort of old timey play actors, reminding me of Billy Zane’s monologue in Tombstone.
Then there’s Jill. Oh Jill. This podcast is based on he... more

Interesting story but I think the narrator needs to specify at the beginning of each episode that the interviewee is reading from her book. It’s very awkward and I found myself just shaking my head and rolling my eyes 🙄

Really interesting examination of time and guilt and crime. As much a character study as a true crime story.
