Break the Case

/ ⭐️ 5 / Episode length: 47 mins / Fluff time, round-up: 01 min. / Avg time between ads: 24 min. / Based on episode: S02E04 ============================. Incredible, 1 short ad. 🆒. However the brown-nosing really needs to be toned down. Several podcasts are guilty of this. You know, when two of the hosts start fawning over each other? “YOU have been SO valuable, we could not have done it without you.” “No. YOU have been fabulous! Thank you for all you do! It’s been a pleasure working with you.” “And let me say I could not have done this without you! You are SO good at what you do!” “Oh my God, You are awesome. Thank you for being SO smart, and figuring this stuff out…”. 🙄.

If you like cold case deep dive analysis by experienced, informed, and committed professionals, find it here. Mediocre reviews are driven by some unknown background dispute because whether you like the show or not, these are absolutely not amateurs or victim vultures. Exactly the opposite in substance.

Binge worthy, make you feel like you know the victim and feel for their family. They’ve done a great job of bringing cold cases to light.

This podcast is really well done. George and Jennifer put a ton of effort and time into their work on cold cases and it is reflected in the podcast. They present the facts of the case, interview family and friends, and reach out to local law enforcement. All of the information that they are permitted to make public is discussed in the podcast episodes. They also crowdsource (via Facebook groups for each case) in an effort to reach out to people who may have known the victims, live in their town, etc. They choose to work on a cold case at the request of the victims’ families and do so on a volunteer basis. They often spend their own money in the course of an investigation and, to my knowledge, don’t profit from their cold case work. There are a lot of negative reviews from people who are mad at them as individuals - before judging the podcast and deciding not to listen, do your due diligence and really dive into the situation around the Debbie Sue Williamson case. One of Debbie’s family members was unhappy with how the case played out and is now on a mission to disparage Jennifer and George. If you do your research and still choose not to listen, that’s absolutely your prerogative. But don’t blindly disregard the wealth of information provided in this podcast based solely on the “scammer” reviews. The ones leaving those reviews are not presenting the whole picture.
