Terrible
Terrible podcast. I listen to two episodes and I still have no idea what happened inside the home with the family’s murder. This podcast is not about the mystery around the murder it’s about the culture and help people made money off it. The guest speakers and the people interviewed are very boring and they just run on with no purpose to what they’re speaking to.
