  • Quality and empathy

    This is a different take on true crime. The storytelling is focused on painting a full

    Picture of the victim. Lots of use of professionals to add weight to interviews and excellent research.

    This is one of the best in the genre. I like how the hosts work with families of the victims, and don’t sensationalize. The show brings awareness to disappearances and murders that may not get much attention otherwise.
