    In Memoriam (Old Patreon Mini Episode)

    Brian Sten Smith, a man from South Africa, is discovered as the culprit in multiple Anchorage killings a short time after becoming a US citizen. His unique accent was heard on a video found by police on an SD card marked "Homicide at midtown Marriott," a label which proved very incriminating indeed.

New subscriber. Really enjoy it!

I’m really enjoying this podcast. Its hard to find a good one where the host doesn’t sound like he’s reading from a script. I love how he gives us a mini history lesson at the beginning. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to binge listen!!

Nullity ,

I like it, but…

… I don’t understand why this unsigned music bands are at the end of the episodes. It has nothing to do with true crime and personally I have no interest in it.

Edit: Unsub after episode 16

Tiffany Jenks murder

If you lie about the murder to your listeners that is wrong. Bad bad podcast
