  • As always season 10 was phenomenal!

    David always does such a wonderful job when researching these cases. He brings the facts and tries to leave the guess work and speculation for everyone else. A+ on all seasons.

  • I like it…mostly

    So far, I’ve enjoyed Seasons 1-5 and 10. However, I’m 1.5 episodes in to Season 6 and don’t think I can do this one.

    Season 6 is just not compelling to me at all. I could not care less about the victim and this Kyle guy they keep talking to is the most annoying little turd with the most annoying voice I’ve ever heard. Unlistenable.
