I've read this story before, and this podcast leaves out so much. They didn't tell the story right.

I wish you had summed up the audio because the audio tapes are not clear at all. Otherwise, this is a really fabulous podcast! I love that you don't linger over small details or get lost in the weeds. Thanks so much!

I've found this podcast very interesting until this episode. The way the reporter makes his ex wife out to be a villain in this is disturbing. She acts as though the ex wife's choice not to participate in the podcast is some indication of how horrible she is. There was no reason to include the clip of her being told the podcast is being made and her refusing to participate in the podcast and requesting not to be contacted again. She specifically asked not to be included and then you still included the clip. Her request not to be contacted again was totally reasonable. No one wants to continually be known for a haneous crime that one of their loved ones committed.

Very best true crime podcast, production and writing are good quality, and their style reminds me of tabloid TV shows from the 90's, like Hard Copy.
