It’s “Jerry” not Eric (Jessica Chambers)

I just keep thinking when they asked her who did this to you, the EMT said she said “Eric did this to me.” They interviewed all the Eric‘s, & Derek’s, however the one guy by the name of Jerry who was supposedly rubbing his mothers feet, seems like she could have been trying to say his name is “Jerry.” She was in tough shape, Jerry to me sounds a lot like Eric or Derek. I agree with the other review in regards that the name sounds exactly like “Eric.” I hope someone is looking further into this possibility.

Poor podcasting

Very boring. The story is interesting but the storyteller didn’t do a good job. It’s clear they don’t care about podcasting and care about guiding you to their tv show.

Nope.

I literally fell asleep multiple times trying to make it through this. Could have been so much more interestingly told or analyzed. Also, got to the end and I thought “well that was pointless” the trailer tells you everything in this case..
