    Introducing: The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister

    Introducing: The Girlfriends: Our Lost Sister

    In Season 1, The Girlfriends told the story of how a group of incredible women came together to bring down one bad ex-boyfriend and seek justice for the murder of Gail Katz.

    But there’s one part of that story that’s still a mystery.

    During the investigation into Gail’s case, a torso washed up on Staten Island and was misidentified as Gail. Nobody knows her name or what happened to her after she was ruled out from the case.

    In Season 2, the amateur ladies detective club are back with a new mission: to uncover the identity of this woman and finally find Our Lost Sister.

DEATH ISLAND

I thought the research behind this podcast was impressive even though Elise’s death remains a mystery. One of the narrators hit the nail on the head by pointing out that the window of opportunity to gather evidence has closed. There are several small details about the circumstances surrounding this tragedy that I was previously unaware of yet I was told by Su Buchanan of a body being found long before the story broke and I have followed the story very closely.

Sound level is terrible

I didn’t get to finish the Nick Pearson episode. The sound level is all over the place - seems like the audio clips were copy pasted without looking at the sound level. The male narrators volume is so faint and the female one is so loud!
