Very interesting story

I had never heard of this case. So many unanswered questions. The police did a terrible job of investigating what happened! My heart goes out to the family. I don’t think it was a suicide!

Holds listeners attention

Often long form podcasts become bogged down with too many characters and not enough suspense. But not this podcast, which will hold your attention to the end.

Compelling yet many unexplored questions

I found this podcast quite compelling. However it also leaves many unexplored questions. Why would the main character take out all the cash he had and go to Stratford? Could there have been other motives? Could he have been involved in drug selling perhaps or a desire to enter that scene?
