incredibly heartbreaking. I don't know what else to say beyond the sadness I feel from this. I truly hope the survivors, victims' families, and the parents of the 2 are surrounded always with love, grace, and peace.
v . .
america is a cult
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Great Show. 👌.
idk what it is with Colin's microphone, but his sound is always so rough compared to Courtney's.
why did you call it the grandma killer. Margaret may have been old but she never had any children.
It's disgusting what he did with Margaret's body - but it's more disgusting how you think it's OK to describe it in full detail with some stupid-ass music as a background. Smh.
the episode and the storytelling started out so good, but then it got dragged out too much with those interview recordings 😒
Love the cast! Great story's. But you lost me when you said you were at a ABnB. Besides that.....Keep up the great show.
I really hope you someone's girlfriend in prison I hope he's get used and abused
Might be time to set up a camera.. maybe.
I think this may be my favorite episode yet. Great job!
welcome back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
well done ,,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Thanks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks
I Don't like these abroad episodes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. great Show
The only thing I don't like. Why is it gotta be a black thing? I'm glad a black woman killed her. And I'm not glad This young lady dead. I'm just glad a white person didn't kill her. But everything has to be turned into race. Why can't you just be an American?
why don't you say it's part 1...I hate waiting another week. prefer to wait,until all is available
Nicholas's parents have been amazingly restrained and dignified, and I cannot understand how they do it.
