I have lived in Elgin IL for all my life so this is pretty interesting to me, since I’ve been to these places, but the crimes are just kind of mid (probably because I’ve been listening to crime junkie and mrballen). Still interesting tho
I started listening to the first season because of a news article I saw, a woman and her car had been found after many years missing and it was all because of this podcast. I wanted to hear all the info and what led them to finding her after all this time, but I didn't expect it to be this good. The podcast is great the cases they talk about are intriguing. I wish all police departments would do this with their cold cases, because someone might know something and that something could lead to clo... more
/ Episode length: 21 mins / Fluff time, round-up: 03 mins. / Avg time between ads: 11 mins. / Based on episode: S01E02 ========================== A little to heavy with syrupy survivor statements celebrating the victim. Is this the platform for it? They all sound the same. They are all the same. All my survivor statements sound the same. I wouldn’t want to share them in a podcast. Honor the victim, absolutely. Long soliloquies from many people repeating the same thing? Not so good.
Not a huge fan of law enforcement, but this podcast is very thoughtful. I like how the detectives spend a lot of time working with the families, and humanizing the victims, even after so many decades. There’s no sensationalism like in many true crime podcasts. Hope this podcast helps solve some cases!
