Customer Reviews
Wishful thinking-Great podcast.
I would like to think that poor Daniel is alive but I doubt it very much. He loved his parents and wouldn’t want them to suffer. Don’t offer false hope, it hurts too much. Great podcast, well researched and a story that needed to be told.
A musty
Brilliant podcast. Well done.
Such a good listen
Great podcast! You really like links to more about the reasearchers or investigative novelists you reference though!
