Addicting! So so good
Have been desperately trying to find an awesome true story series like S* Town and this one was just what I needed. Binged on it for about 2 days 😂😂👏👏😍
Excellent Piece of Journalism
Jason does an excellent job in investigating and creating a comprehensive report on the story. He has a really great voice to listen to. His information is understandable and solid. He has a sensitive and relatable interviewing style. I truly enjoyed listening to the story and hope there will be more updates soon
Excellent.
Hope the truth comes out and DNA gives some insight into this horrible crime.
