Not true crime!!

Absolutely terrible of the producers to have us believe this is true. When they played the audio of a women dying and her “niece” commenting I had to stop. I searched the case and could fine nothing! It’s fine to have a fictional podcast I listen to several, but don’t pretend it’s real, can’t believe Up & Vanished are promoting this.
