    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.

Too many ads

I’m on episode 2 and am trying to decide if this is interesting enough to continue because the number of ads is ridiculous.

Canadians love you ,

Way to many ads

I enjoy the podcast. It’s really well done, but there’s just way too many ads and they’re all the same over and over again.

Old murders

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, but some of the murders are 10-20 years old.

I’d love to hear about more recent cases. I’m a diver, and was going to visit but wonder how it’s been in the last few years. Thank you.
