Can’t wait for more!

Came over from the Truth and Justice (Bob Ruff) Podcast. Love how transparent you both are with your investigations and how well spoken you are. This podcast is SO interesting, I couldn’t stop binging it.

Fascinating

I love this podcast. But mostly I love that a guy with no training took on the task of identifying a 50 year old John Doe. I’m binge listening to it. And I keep talking back to the podcast - saying “did you try this?” I’m completely engrossed. Who doesn’t love a great mystery?!

Fred the Head

This is such an intriguing podcast. I love how the host has narrated and put in interviews. I’m stuck on this podcast! So interesting! I’d recommend this podcast to everyone interested in a real life mystery that is novel worthy! Keep up the great work! May we find who this poor individual is. I also hope that this hosts provides many more seasons as I’m hooked!
