  • Horrific image

    If you want to talk about all the respect you have for the victims, and the intimacy of your conversations, etc., fine. But honestly, the cover art???? Horrible. One star based on that choice. It’s salacious and totally unnecessary.

  • Great Reporting

    If I go missing I hope I would have people like Jess Trevino and the internet sleuths to advocate as hard for me. She gives me hope that there are still good people in this world who are willing to give time for someone they never met. I hope that Talina Zar, her family, & friends receive justice and be able to lay her rest soon.

  • First 2 seasons were good

    Five stars for the first two seasons. The third season was disappointing. There’s something fishy about Jess.

  • Ads and dragging on

    I typically love the longer stories on various pods, but this one just drags on for no reason. In addition to that it’s hard to really get into the story when there’s a 4 minute ad every 3.5 minutes. If someone asked me to retell the story I wouldn’t be able to.
