  • While I am glad to see crimes against women of color receiving media attention, I did not find this podcast to be as well-produced as most other True Crime podcasts I've listened to. Additionally, such a major focus on Daisy with the other child being positioned as a final-episode afterthought didn't sit right with me. If my little sister hadn't been wanting me to listen to this along with her, I probably would have stopped listening part-way through episode 1.

  • Too one sided

    This podcast had potential, but it’s clear the host lacks a real understanding of how the justice system works or what law enforcement professionals actually go through. You’re being given explanations, yet you continue to push a narrative that blames everything on social or racial injustice. One of the individuals even says, “I grew up here, I’m Mexican,” trying to offer context and it’s completely dismissed.

    You also don’t seem to understand how certain actions like families publicly announci... more
