    Three Witnesses

    Three Witnesses

    For decades, the common misconception was there had been no witnesses to this double homicide. Yet, there were people living in the street who saw and heard things on the night Susan and Suzanne died and in the days that followed that could have proved significant. One was right next door. Police failed to interview any of them at the time.

    What Detectives Thought They Knew

    From the start of this investigation, a chilling ‘coincidence’ focused attention almost exclusively on a local crime reporter as the chief ‘person of interest’. Twenty years later, DNA testing quickly cleared him of any involvement. What was missed in the meantime?

Has so much potential

I enjoyed this podcast (listened to the entire season on I heart radio) - it’s clear the host is really attached to this case and is committed to bringing more awareness to it in hopes of it one day being solved.

I can only give it four stars because I don’t feel we ever get enough information. It grazes the surface of many areas, I’d love so much more if it went into more detail. I could easily listen to another 5 or 6 episodes! I wish they explained things like what relatives and friends and people who knew the two victims thought and if there was anyone suspicious to them.

Also, I almost always avoid iheartradio content because the ads are insufferable. The quantity of ads completely detracts from the listening experience and this podcast in particular had an ad for a show that starts out with some subtle sex shaming. That I had to listen to over and over, multiple times per episode.

Good show but too many ads

It’s a good show and well put together but there’s so many ads throughout that you can barely follow what’s going on.
