I’ve been listening to this show since very early on. It is one of my absolute favorites. Straight forward and well researched. The host is also receptive to corrections and admitting when they accidentally got a fact wrong. He is clearly passionate about the work. Will continue to listen as long as there are episode uploaded.
Very enjoyable voice to listen to and interesting cases discussed.
Such a well written, respectful podcast. Possibly the best true crime podcast out there.
This case seems perfect for the use of forensic genealogy to solve as there is dna available to use.
Michael is simply the best. Impeccable research. Soothing delivery. And his compassion and caring is heartfelt. This should be one of the highest rated podcasts IMO. Thank you, Michael.
