This chilling car ride was the first time Steve would... more

  • Pretentious

    Pretentious. It sounds like he is reading script with bad acting skills

  • Fascinating

    Loved all the angles: the narrator's perspective on his own experience and role in telling Carr's story, the serial killer's perspective as heard through the taped interviews, the creepy forensic medical examiner's perspective, the daughter's perspective...

No disturbing detail is spared. Tammy's story gives us a glimpse... more

  • ghoulish and uncool

    probably the least sensitive and most self indulgent true crime podcasts i've ever listened to, the excitement in the host's voice is honestly gross and the series does no justice to the victims or their families. very distasteful and inappropriate reporting imo.
