Great journalist and amazing voice. I want more true crime coverage from New Mexico
Thank you for chronicling these events to share this story. We can hope that hearing about this can give the investigation new wings to bring the whole truth out.
This is a compelling podcast about such an important topic that has slipped off a lot of people’s radar. The host is compassionate & detailed, and it’s clear she’s done her homework. Looking forward to more!
I can’t wait to see where this podcast takes us.
Great podcast! Great voice. Nice first time episode excited to see where you’ll take the story. Happy that there’s a series dedicated to it, these women deserve it. Recommend this to any true crime fans.
I moved here to New Mexico the year these women’s bodies were unearthed and will never forget how shocked I was. I can’t wait to hear more from the families of the victims and those who worked (and continue to work) on this case.
Bad audio. FACT ERRORS. Terrible come-from. Other journalists and people cared about these women, not just this lady. No sources, no new information. Clearly did not do her research — you’ll get a better idea of what happened by reading the ABQ Journal’s extensive coverage and other outlets from the time.
