  • Would’ve been great without the vocal frye!

    I thought it was pretty well done.it contained a lot of information that I didn’t know. However, the host’s vocal frye was really difficult to listen to.

  • Kayna is a hypocrite

    Listened to the first 3 episodes, Kayna is insufferable. Talking about online sleuths and true crime junkies , podcasters etc. As if she is superior or any different.. hun, you’re doing the same exact thing.

  • Dropped the ball

    It’s really too bad they dropped the ball on this pod and didn’t cover it in an ongoing basis. So much has happened in the last year and no coverage here. Lame.

  • Good podcast

    Older information that we all know now. How come no one ever mentions that the likely reasons the surviving roommates didn't call 911 sooner was likely because not only were random strangers in the house at weird hours was not only likely a common occurrence at that party house but ALSO that unsure of what was actually going on, they likely didn't want the cops there AGAIN if there was no real reason. So she closed her door and called it a night.
