Really great podcast to listen to . I am a super empathetic person and in my own life get pulled into people's drama in really life all the time . Super sad to know what twisted mental health issues someone may have to make so many others around you suffer ! The kids as always are the biggest victims in this . I do want to understand when this plan started ? Was the cancer idea from The time she spent mentoring Jamie as a young girl and then seeing the attention a sick person can get . Was that what she wanted ?? Did it start at attention . She took Cory and Jessa away from their family . It's just on and on . Idk what her goal is .
More like this please!!!!

Charlie’s reporting and presentation of this case was stellar. I knew nothing of this case beforehand and kudos to Nancy for uncovering the lies and digging until justice was served!! LOVED the bonus episodes… especially episode 12 with a former teacher whom was tormented by Amanda, it was interesting how mean and callous she really was while faking her “perfect & empathetic” persona to the world.
Just wow

I heard about this story years ago but this podcast was so detailed; I listened to it all in two days!! I’ve lost a close loved one to cancer and this makes me so so sick! I don’t hate people but man, I think I hate Amanda!!
