  • Was a fan until the Gypsy interview. All it takes is quick searches into the records that have been released since then -- texts between her and Nick and other people -- where it's clear she was **NOT** being abused by DeeDee. She was in on it. The texts are easily searchable. The pictures she sent are easily searchable. There is also proof that DeeDee was about to kick Gypsy out before she was murdered

  • Bias

    If you want someone to do little to no research this is the podcasts for you, but if you like people who do in depth research bias and unbiased forms from different perspectives, then look elsewhere where. This person claims to do research but say because they read this person book. In which that person has stated their has some wrong stuff and they’re trying to redo the book. Do not trust a person who only does one type of research. I wouldn’t have cared if they actually did research and still ... more

  • Such an Important Show

    I started listening to this podcast after they did a crossover with the Dating Detectives and I’ve been hooked ever since. Andrea does such a an incredible job of researching and reporting on something that people don’t want to acknowledge or talk about. I appreciate the way she centers victims and integrates her own experience with her sister. I also love how she acknowledges her own biases and is careful to fact check and speak with the family when possible. Such a great show.

  • No research

    She admits to having done no research on a case before interviewing and advocating for a CONVICTED schmurderer. Very disappointing content

  • Won’t listen anymore…

    After hearing the interview with Gypsy, I see that this podcast isn’t properly researched. Won’t be listening again.
