Almost unbelievable

This is the type of investigative journalism that true crime podcasters wish they could produce. The caliber of story telling, research and interviewing skills presented in your own backyard, are rare amongst most true-crime podcasts. When I’m asked by others, what podcast should I listen to next, I always suggest your own backyard, that is if you’re able to withstand the horror and absolute tragedy of a murder of young women and hearing about a serial rapist.

Incredible

This podcast is so well done. It's long and there is so much information but I was glued to it the whole time.

The best true crime podcast

This is one of the best podcasts I've listened to. It's a deep dive without dragging on. Host is thoughtful and well researched. You really go on a journey. Highly recommend!
