In 1999, Ina and David Steiner founded an online newsletter called eCommerceBytes. The couple worked hard to establish themselves as knowledgeable, trustworthy and unbiased reporters in the e-commerce industry and were well respected by their niche community. Then in 2019, eCommerceBytes received a scathing message from a Twitter user who took issue with how Ina Steiner reported on the U.S multinational e-commerce company eBay. --- Narration – Anonymous Host Research & writing – Milly Raso Creative direction – Milly Raso Production and music – Mike Migas Music – Andrew D.B.

Investigators were quick to rule the slayings were the work of a serial killer… But it would take more than 30 years for the shocking truth to come out. --- Narration – Anonymous Host Research & writing – Erin Munro Creative direction – Milly Raso Production and music – Mike Migas Music – Andrew D.B.

I'd never heard of this case, maybe because I'm in the U.K, (or probably because eBay bigwigs, have tried to covering it up??), either way it's utterly fascinating. I thought it was going to be a boring episode, because it was about a "tech" type company-how wrong was I!! It's even made me think twice, about using eBay in the future. Definitely a 5 star episode (i.m.o).

I thought for sure that it was going to turn out to be the husband doing all of this so that he could murder his wife and have it look like the stalker troll did it. So the peons took the blame and punishment, and the sociopath boss walked away with a ridiculous severance package. Figures.
