Nic, you are really good at this. I’m looking forward to your next podcast.

I’m fascinated on the question of this potentially being a white savior thing or just a normal Dunning Kruger type thing. The podcaster talks about his “investigation” and trying to “solve” this. He doesn’t do much. Even when he gets sand all the analysis done is visual. If anything else is undertaken scientifically, it’s not mentioned at all. He also seems to put down the Japanese police… he doesn’t review data that’s not been available to the public but keeps trying to say he’s working to “solve the case”. He should just state he’s telling the story. He’s never solved another case ever. Unless he’s solved British or US cold cases… I don’t know why he’s claiming he could solve something in Japan. It’s an extremely technologically advanced county, but yah- not white.

I really love this podcast! Nic is not only a fantastic storyteller but also incredibly respectful when discussing the case. The way he dives into the details, ensuring everything is validated by credible sources and the chief of police who worked on the case, shows such dedication. I’m hoping that one day, a new DNA framework in Japan can bring this case to justice!

Amazing podcast, I just kept wanting to listen. Now this is just my opinion, but I want to say that I’m an American and I believe while there may be some initial surprise regarding the involvement of an American if the Japanese wished to extradite and execute an American there would be plenty of support. The death penalty has heavy support in the states and in my experience the American sense of justice is simply “an eye for an eye.” I understand sentencing does not always work like that but as far as public sentiment…that’s what it often proves to be. Those police need to contact Parabon and they need to come to the states and do some work. Shameful!
