I listen to a lot of crime podcasts but this was fabulous - it gave me such an insight into what occurred

Excellent production

Binged this in 2 days! Factual and fast-paced without the fluff. A good mix of interviews, 911 calls that make it so real and great narration.
Such a haunting story that really brings to light the community’s fear but also highlights the bravery of so many. My heart breaks for the victims..
