  • Needlessly Cruel

    Brooke broke Tara's case open. It would still be cold and unsolved without her. Payne berated her over her former boyfriend's decisions. His treatment of her, and her tears are the reason I am unsubscribing.

  • Love the show

    I think every season has been really engaging and interesting to hear, keep up the good work and effort. I love it all.

You had her saying “the only result he was truthful with was…” like 10 different times. The whole conv... more

  • Brook is classless

    This is such a great podcast… I believe Brooks episode is a bunch of nonsense because it’s full of what she thinks… too much speculation. 5 minutes on what she was told would have been fine. As well, Brook does not reflect the prestigious way you present your work Payne!!!
