She reaches out to Shelli’s family to understand why the police arrested a man named Fred Lamb for Shelli’s murder in 2016, and why prosecutors abruptly dropped the charges against him.

Kim..please do another podcast..very interesting story and I think that you have the perfect voice for a podcast..please come back🩷🙏🩷
maybe the best true crime podcast I've heard. the personal connection and production style is very compelling
Is that it? I don't get what this podcast was trying to achieve? We heard a story, listened to the interviews then were told what we told at the start probably wasn't true because people's minds play tricks on them. The guy that was charged was let off, the case was probably never going to be solved. The end. Huh? I'm still waiting for a follow up episode of something new coming out...
I listen to a lot of podcasts. this one's not worth the time. I don't think it's extremely well told and the story is not that compelling. Plus, spoiler alert, they don't come to a conclusion. I know that is part of the story, But if that's the point you're making, you could have done it in about one or two episodes.
the story intrigues and opens interesting windows on we humans. i DO think this lives up to the Serial standards abs as far as the voice narration...i thought it fit the story telling perfectly. not sensational. matter of fact...on a story constantly reminding us of those that remain missing.
nice
.
I think they missed the mark in this series. Listening to random conversations without background music is boring. It just drones on endlessly...

nice podcast overall but doesn't live up to the "Serial" brand. I get that she's a journalist first, but so often the narrator sounded bored with her own story. Her lack of energy at the case's mismanagement made me less invested. This would have been a good written exposé but lacked the ooompf needed for a podcast of Serial's caliber.
Spoiler Alert....... ... .... I believe Larry did it. But, I also think Fred saw or heard more than talked about. Pod Host good job but, her voice so flat. As a person who once lived in Wyoming, loved it...I would not hire for marketing for traveling..😀. Sheriff's Department/Police messed up. Did the Fire Department actually put out the fire? Fred is selfish, his wife, is a "yes man". The saddest thing, her story of Murder is just waiting in 2 boxes. Can the Family sue to get the case closed? Thanks to Serial for this story.
this is the best podocast. regards. https://momix-apk.com/
such a great podcast. this is what true crime podcasts is all about. straight forward, no fluff, just perfect.
I wish she would have pressed harder, esp on Fred's wife, who clearly makes stuff up and changed her story to suit the situation.
