  • Thanh & Anna are outstanding!!! Anna doesn’t give up, EVER! It just gets deeper and deeper, from worse to worst. I was gripped from the beginning and feel so invested in the story of the victims and survivors of the horrific crimes committed by people we are taught to trust. I want Justice! Anna wants Justice! You ALL will want Justice! My heart goes out to the families.

    I found this podcast in 2020 thinking I would here an interesting true crime story from a city I have visited often. Little did I know I would be sucked into a riveting case/cases with so many layers. Thank you to Anna and Thanh for their tireless work to try and bring light to these horrific crimes and justice to the victims.

  • Compelling stories, poorly told. The music is too loud. Ann reads like a 5th grader. There was no New Orleans Advocate in 1979. Also, it's pronounced "ESpecially" not "EXpecially." Possessive of Wells isn't "Wellses."

    Some of our voices may sound muffled because "masking requirements were still in place." Dude. It was just you.

    FYI, a victim can die from injuries sustained after being sodomized AKA a "homosexual act" and Leander Perez was Spanish and a Democrat.
