It’s a solid 4.

It had the makings and production value of being a 5 star podcast but it just didn’t cut it for me. I liked the lawyer slant of it all but it just goes to show that you need someone to dig deeper to get info. I feel like there weren’t any big revelations about the case which perhaps some seasoned journalists could have uncovered. The ending was also borderline undignified to the victim. Made her seem like a cliche. But it had all the pieces to make something excellent just didn’t get there for me.
A story within a story
Sep 2
If you’re into cold murder cases, then yeah, this is probably going to have what you want, in many regards. The most compelling character in the story is Laura. Learning about her life kept me coming back. However, I thought this podcast had a major problem. The host apparently lacks empathy for the people he interviews. His contempt made this show difficult to listen to at multiple points. Therefore, I think this podcast is memorable not because it’s a titillating cold murder case, but because it is a story within a story - what happens when a holier-than-thou New Yorker deigns to step into flyover country. I say this as a big city coastal American liberal.
Stereotypes are comical

“I’m not unduly freaked out about what these rednecks in the Midwest could do.” Ahhhh the tolerant left. Never using stereotypes. Always open minded. Always unbiased. 😂 Ol’ Ann is your typical regressive. Has an utter disgust for “fly over country”. Just listen to the way she describes Iowa. By the way, the Knights are far from rednecks.
