In a small Tennessee town, a local serial killer was caught by the most unlikely investigators: A group of high school students, led by their teacher, Alex Campbell. Throughout the course of one school semester, the class pieced together a 30-year-old mystery and identified the killer behind at least six brutal murders. Shockingly, while the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations publicly agrees with their theory, no charges have been filed against the murderer. While some sleuthing students already have graduated, they, along with a fresh crop of current high schoolers, still want to finish the assignment, once and for all.

Me:-( ,

Very interesting.

Great story.
Far too many ads, or more accurately the same ads far too many times.

Eva m G ,

Poor production

As with others, too many adverts. But also the production is so dodgy. There is so much substantive story here and so many threads left unfurled I guess to make room for more ads. The story has been put together very confusingly, and silly things like the end credit music starting loudly over the last minute of speaking (eg when the survivor is speaking) are really jarring. Only thing that kept me going was the ability to skip ads and the fact there’s a good story under the poor telling of it.

Ads ads and more ads

Same as all the other reviews, I had to stop
listening, repeated same sound bites over and over as well! Real shame really because what could have been a good podcast turned into a poor experience for the end consumer!
