  • Touches your heart

    This was hard to listen to sometimes. Girls are so disposable in our world so I’m glad you reminded everyone that Angie was special. I was horrified that the community did not reach out, I assumed it was because Angie was a bit of a wild child, but it is disheartening.

  • Wonderfully done. Must listen.

    Beautifully written. Wonderfully executed. Amazing story of small town America and the 80s and how many things have changed but so many stay the same. Heart wrenching tail that any true crime buff will enjoy. Must listen.

  • We all have a story!

    I live in NY and I Angie would have been my age. This breaks my heart.

    And to the family members saying they are sorry for their emotions on the podcast during their interviews. Do not apologize. It’s called grief and grief is li... more
