    As soon as I saw there were multiple episodes for each crime I decided not to listen to the series. Too time consuming.

  • Phenomenal - Unique and Well-Produced

    I have looked and looked for a podcast that gives facts and tells a true crime story without making the podcast more about the hosts than the story. John and Sally have a definite skill in researching and providing details not heard anywhere else while also being respectful and thoughtful about the victims. This podcast is very interesting and keeps you wanting more. It is never sensational. These episodes are well worth the wait.

  • Fascinating!

    Love the format of your investigations, always informative and full of interesting details.

    I find it fascinating listening to you both as well as the interviewee’s. You really recreate the scenes so well for us to imagine without even looking at the website (which is also full of details!).

    Looking forward to hearing more episodes as I personally rate you one of my favourites!

    Please keep bringing these stories to our attention!

    Thanks!
