Her killer would go on to terrorize several other families in a multi-state crime spree, simply because he said he had the “urge to kill.” We’ll follow investigators a... more

  • Heartbreaking

    Definitely one of the most respectful way to cover such a horrendous situation. I love how you handled your own emotions you can hear in your voice the times it really got you. Thank you for giving Kaylee and her family a voice and doing it respectfully.

  • A difference in format

    I first heard this story on Dateline. Another reviewer compared this podcast to Datelines version saying this was done with “too much fluff”. I disagree. Dateline does an incredible job with their podcasts but this one allows the listener more insight into the victims experience and allows us to hear more recording material of the interviews done with not only the victim but the perpetrator as well. The host does a very good job and is NOT monotone, which is rare. Hearing this story in two diff... more

  • Average True Crime Stuff

    You can always tell when a podcast is done by a local TV news reporter/station when it’s still got the cheesey sensationalism of the 11 o’clock news… even down to the host’s line readings. (And case in point she calls herself a host not a reporter.) The story is interesting because it’s just so brutal and the guy is psycho, but I think they could have shaved off at least 3-5 episodes.

  • So sad

    I think it was great podcast. I binged it and was so intrigued. Very sad story. I pray no other family has to go through anything like this, but we all know there is too much evil in the world.
