  • Great story, too long

    This is a great story, and very well told. It’s just waaaaaaay too long. They could have cut the number of episodes in half with the same information. I’d be listening to an episode and wondering if I’d already listened to it b/c it was so similar. But, if you like podcasts with MANY episodes, this is a good listen. Again, very well investigated and told. But if you prefer a more efficient story, perhaps not.

  • Extreme bad policing

    So sad how police didn’t give a dam to find the whereabouts of a missing mother. Male chauvinistic, they believed a husband that his wife was mad, she’s just ran off, left her children and family . The husband was a neurotic, twisted, controlling, jealous , a pedo, but it doesn’t sound like the police bothered to investigate him properly.

  • Too many episodes

    This was the podcast equivalent of a meeting that could have been an email. So many episodes where either nothing happens or it just recaps. Nothing to build tension or excitement. Been looking for something like Serial for but this absolutely wasn’t it. I listened to the end so that I could give an informed review and my goodness this could have been five episodes. Yawn.
