- Thanks a lot, Kimberly from Texas
Hey Kimmy, it clearly hasn’t occurred to you, but it is possible to leave a review without summarizing the entire story, spoilers and all.

No “hook”. Doesn’t draw you in, or pique your curiosity. I gave up before finishing the second episode. Overly dramatic, cheesy tone with a “Dateline” vibe. It failed to set up the story in a way that reeled me in. If you knew Alex personally, you might be interested to listen. I recommend “The Murder Police Podcast” - it has 4 episodes that focus on the case - really good examination of the search for the murderer.

Canadaa year ago - Great Podcast - Awful Audio
I really like the podcast. It is very well done. My heart breaks for Alex and his family. The only issue is the background music and sound effects. They are far too loud they drown out the speakers' voices. It is like trying to have a conversation in a club! And some audio (like the 911 call in episode 3) could be cleaned. Fire your sound engineer!

I was appalled to hear the love story of the murderer. Cruel and disrespectful of the victim.
Apple Podcasts1dcsyioeUnited States2 years ago - Yikes
Well put together podcast up until they devote an entire episode to tell the love story of the murderer. Not only is he not sorry and “enjoying” prison, but he is even able to experience love after committing such a horrible act. A marriage his victim never got the opportunity to have. I hope his family didn’t listen to that episode. How disrespectful to them to include this.
