Very well done. Excessive character development. Disappointing understated ending.
I am repeatedly moved by the stories presented here. Hearing the voices/words of the people involved helps to make real and ground the painful and shocking chapters of their lives.
I am especially sorrowful for the family of Mark Haines and I am deeply disappointed about the racism that prevented immediate justice and in those who have still not shared all they know.
Thank you ABC Unravel team.
I couldn’t stop listening right up until the end. It’s very very rare I find a podcast I genuinely enjoy as much as this one!
I typically never listen to these unsolved true crime type pods, or shows, as my brain can’t deal with the unanswered questions and no end to the story. This show is great. I was invested immediately. I so so hope that Jack is found. I feel so bad for everyone involved, but mostly Jack. I hope this is solved soon. My prayers are with the McLennans
Excellent Podcast. Always have great stories with many layers. Wouldn’t miss anything these guys put together.
