  • Edit and summarize, please

    It’s hard to follow a story when a family member is allowed to ramble on and on endlessly. I understand that they want to be heard, but a lot of what they say isn’t relevant. I’ve had to stop listening to some cases because I wasn’t getting any information.

  • What happened to this show?

    This used to be one of my weekly favorites. But lately she’s ONLY covering missing drug addicts. I’m not saying their stories matter any less but at this point change the title to “missing drug addicts” gonna have to let this podcast go.

  • Respectful

    I really enjoy the show,

    The stories are told respectfully, very informative and not going to lie tug at your heart. Some really get to me and you can tell how much the victims family really loves them and wants them back. Then there are other times I’m so frustrated at the lack of compassion that certain police departments seem to lack basic empathy. I love hearing how the families dealing with those kinds of departments keep pushing for answers anyways. Keep up the great work.
