- Great story, poor presentation
This podcast really suffers from the presenters injecting themselves into the narrative. There’s no point to these painful, goofy “tee-hee, we’re two girl besties investigating a mystery!” digressions. Totally bloated with this nonsense by about a whole episode’s worth of time. This would’ve been much more sleek, effective, and compelling without all that. Credit, though, they do have a good story here.

I thought you guys did a great job covering this story. You are bringing awareness to this story that not many people know about. The story telling was great, and I can tell how much time and effort you both put into it!!! Amazing job. I hope the people who are responsible around found and held to justice one day.
Apple Podcasts5Peachesnplums14United States2 months ago - Slow burn but stick with it!
It took me a couple of episodes to really get involved in this podcast, but once I did, wow! This is true crime done right. Well worth the listen.
Apple Podcasts5PCBunnygirlUnited States2 months ago - Love these hosts!
I loved this podcast! Not only did it keep me captivated every episode it was easy to listen to and highly entertaining. Love Haley and Betsy, they are hilarious and fun to listen to! Hope to hear more from you both in the future.
Apple Podcasts54theloveofPodUnited States2 months ago - Interesting case; amateur journalism
Fascinating true crime case and the case itself and the interviews got all the stars. Deducted two stars bc my god the hosts are childish. Every goofy, self-centered side quest made me cringe. Obvious these are amateur journalists with podcast equipment who didn’t have the benefit of journalism professors telling them the story should never be about themselves. Jesus I hated the hikes, and the camping and car trips that were all about the girlies and not about the story.
