Customer Reviews
Exceptional ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great experts… (Not the usual talking heads who have no idea what they’re talking about.) This is just sooo good. Clever, thoughtful. Love the host
Extremely Insightful
Just finished the Murdaugh series - wow - this analysis is fascinating, a real psycho-education. Thank you, so well done.
Who Was The Target?
Just a question in my mind about what Kohberger’s real plan was. Could the initial target have been only Kayleigh? If he went first to her room expecting her to be there only to find the dog. If she was the target he knew where she would likely be sleeping. Which makes me think he had been in the house before when no one was home scoping it out. It sounds like the doors to the house may not have even been locked with so many people coming and going. Did he know this was Kayleigh’s last weekend there? Had to attack the two girls when he found them together. Then another obstacle on his way out … Xana up and wandering what’s going on. Did a plan for one to die turn into four?
So very much enjoy your podcast.
