  • Do your Cae RESEARCH… To listen to this podcast on Donna Adelson case, pitiful waste of time.

    Do your REASEARCH if you are going to cover a case, especially a case that is 11 plus years old, has 4-people already convicted. 3-of them doing life without parole, and 1-that made a deal. If you would have just watched Charlie Adelson’s trial, then you would know that Donna is absolutely the driving force behind this murder. That Wendi is listed as an “ and indicted co-conspirator” on this case.

    It has become so clear that neither of you do any real research, other than social media, whic... more

  • Terrible experience

    I came across the podcast about the Rossi rape case and found the podcast to be very poor. I hadn't heard much about the case and listened for a while. So little information was given about the case I couldn't make head or tail out of it. I don't mind podcasts with chit chat between the hosts, but this was horrific. At the very least they could have given a straightforward summary of the case for listeners who were not familiar with it. I gave it 20 minutes or so and found the podcast a wast... more

  • It’s Suppressors Not Silencers

    Love your show but I thought I would share information on on suppressors and the hows and whys. I own two. It requires applying for a Federal Firearms Tax Stamp and my hubs and I also had to create a gun trust which owns the suppressors. The tax stamp cost $200 each plus the cost of the suppressor. It required fingerprinting and a federal background checks for both of us. The why is HEARING PROTECTION! My Dad was a WWII bombardier and a state highway patrolman. By his 70’s he was pretty ... more

  • Love this podcast!

    This podcast is so much fun and a great way to keep up with cases that you don’t hear enough about. Kristi and Katie share stories that get less attention, to bring light to cases that need to be solved. They also offer an excellent local perspective on Idaho cases, in particular the Daybell/Vallow cases, including local insights you cannot get anywhere else. As former Mormons, Kristi and Katie explain the many Mormonisms involved in cases such as Daybell/Vallow. The podcast is really interactiv... more
