  • Disappointed

    I came away from this podcast deeply disappointed. Instead of centering Arpana’s life, her family, and the devastating loss they continue to live with, the series devoted an enormous amount of time to Emanuel—his thoughts, his emotions, and his perspective. I found myself being asked to empathize with a convicted rapist far more than with the woman whose life was taken.

    The use of Indian-inspired music also felt uncomfortable. It created an atmosphere that was emotionally engaging, but it often... more

  • Excellent

    A very good series that shows just how screwed up our justice system is. Let’s hope we learn from these horrible mistakes and do better as police, lawyers and judges.

    I listened to the Vanished In The Snow episodes. Interesting story. Iam glad they caught up with Steve Pankey in the end. Especially sent him to prison in the end. He is one of those weirdos who deserves to be there. The way he acted and carried on a lot of the time. Definitely a weirdo.

    The story was presented well. I gave it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
