This is really hard to listen to. I can't even imagine the agony that Jaime and the rest of her family felt, but I've been crying since she was talking about being near her daughter in the hospital packing ice around her legs and how April used to be so cold when she brought her to the grocery store.... this whole story is so freaking heartbreaking.
haha. here we go again - sibbelings, remenants...
ugh. I like the stories but for Fs sake...pronounce words correctly. it's not exfixiation...is asphyxiation. siblings not sibbelings
This podcast has gotten very lame...
can people stop calling them "military man"? it's servicemember or soldier or [branch] [rank].
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
