Amazingly Detailed, Beautifully Told

It’s really because of you this case was laid to rest. You brought it back to the public’s eye and lit a fire for law enforcement. What an amazing job you did with this. Thank you Chris

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.
