Customer Reviews
High quality reporting
I’ve just finished listening to Season 2 and am now looking forward to listening to season 1. Balanced, well-told and, most important for me, no theatricals that can creep into true crime podcasts occasionally. Brava!
Fantastic investigation
Brilliant story telling but incredible investigation. Pity this reporter is not a police investigator, much luck & love getting the answers that are so long overdue.
Heartbreaking
I hope when the coroner hands down her findings mark and Adam have the answer to this long standing emtional roller coaster. Your mother would be so proud of you both for never giving up for her ❤️
