  • Disrespectful

    Only listened to the first episode, seems like they barely know the details. why are you qualified to talk about this? The part where the 3 year old reported seeing the victim, their comments are just not cool. Feels like everything wrong with "True crime"

  • Not great

    The stories are alright, but the hosts do all this blah, blah, blah before they actually get to the story. I don’t care about their personal lives but apparently they think I should.

    These girls are friends for life who are sharing their friendship with the world while bringing awareness to cases of missing and lost people from around the globe. They include valuable discussions about the effects these cases have on the community beyond their families and how we can take action in our own lives to recognize when a similar tragedy may be on the horizon. This isn’t a podcast by experts, it’s a podcast by fellow relatable humans.
