  • Help find them justice

    Instead of making victims appear to be drug addicts why don’t you tell more about them being found brutally raped and murdered..they told friends there was a creep around their campsite… and after missing for 5 days they were found dead in a nearby creek with gunshot wounds. So how about you tell their story instead of talking about drugs they found this abc that.. that steers people away from the fact that their is a dangerous killer on the loose !

    I listened to one episode of this podcast. It was 36 minutes long. Of that 36 minutes, 15 of it was ads. The. On top of that, they kept repeating the traffic. This is a podcast.... not live radio. Traffic will change by the time people listen to it. Maybe needs to edit all the traffic out.
