Ed's points:
1. An "elderly abduction from home" disappearance is exceedingly rare.
2. Burglaries and disappearances rarely go together.
3. Money doesn't solve disappearances.
4. Ransom notes don't look or sound like that.
5. The police and PI's don... more

He’s full of himself, his phone vibrates thru the entire show, he’s condescending to the interviewees, he’s curt and rude. No interview skills. Aimless and all over the place. However he does care about the victims and clearly knows how to perform the research. The delivery is lacking.
The information is great, if the host could try to just be less arrogant that would be great. The narcissism just oozes from every conversation. Be nicer to victims families dude. They come on your show voluntarily and don’t need to be interrogated by you. It’s okay to ask follow ups but learn how to do so with more tact.
The sound quality is not good in the last few episodes! Could hardly hear anything esp interviews by phone
His cases are interesting and important. His manner, though, is cringey, often painful to listen to. I wish I could say otherwise. I'd listen more often.
I am a big fan of the podcast, but sometimes I have a hard time hearing some of the stories. I’m listening to the Layla Santanello episode. The family, especially her mother, is a nightmare. Numerous “boyfriends”, addiction, etc. What a mess. I had to turn it off.
