  • WOW! AMAZING podcast

    This podcast, both seasons were absolutely amazing. The story was told and unraveled and an interesting way and a way that made everything stay straight and make sense. The stories were inspiring, heart wrenching at times, I listened with tears at times— just has become one of my favorite podcast. And some of the families in these cases have just become an inspiration to me. Really really really great podcast.

  • The crying is excessive

    Not sure this story was worth telling because of the excessive weeping by all the family members. If it was an editorial decision to include all of that crying, this listener just found it too distracting.
