Customer Reviews
Love it!
I love this podcasts. I’m a huge true crime fan and from all the podcasts I follow Delia is my absolute favorite host.
Travesty of justice
Travesty of Justice. The sheriff department should be ashamed of their lack of unbiased investigation and Kim's involvement and biased toward protecting Pat is shocking.
I find myself with real tears for John more than once as he has not been afforded any respect from the adults who were associated with his wellfare.
My heart aches for Patrick and I hope he can find comfort in the happier memories he shared with John before the selfishness of Pat drew him unnecessarily into this horrific situation.
It was almost laughable that the Dr Vega said he could only review his decision with more detail when your investigation provided everything and more.
It would be redeeming if someone in a position to enable change or reversal of history could hear this reporting and right a disturbing wrong against a 17 year old boy.
Starts out OK… drags and nothing happens
Not a fan. Feel I’m being generous with three stars. The podcaster just keeps wanting to tell you about how good of an investigative journalist she is. This annoys me. Seems like a vanity project.
Nothing is figured out. Lots of conjecture, tangents and theories - not much evidence about who did it.
