Very gripping, I love the Boy in the water .So frustrating all the polices fundamental flaws at the out set, no statements from key witnesses, no photos, wrong pathologist. Why were statements taken so late!? Great work Melanie and team
I found this podcast very frustrating. It could have been cut down by hours if parts were not repeated over and over. It’s a shame as it’s an interesting case, but I lost interest with the repetitiveness.
When trusted institutions fail the community they are supposed assist it becomes a living hell for the parents & child.
Great to see some momentum around this issue. The Age just released their Diagnosing Murder podcast on the same issue. Highly recommend.
I get the need to have ads for revenue, but this is above ridiculous with the sheer number of them. Half of the majority of episodes are ads. Even worse is that they are all the same 2 or 3 ads and they just run on repeat over and over. Sometimes the same ad twice in a row. Very annoying and enough to turn me off of continuing, which sucks because the story telling and everything else is great.
