It’s the dead of summer, 1989, in the heart of the Ozarks. An 18-year-old woman goes missing from Bella Vista, Arkansas. As the search moves forward, several suspects emerge. Then… a body is found not far from the Missouri border, and a homicide investigation begins. Soon, a second body is discovered nearby. What was a mystery transforms into the hunt for a possible serial killer stalking young women throughout the Ozarks. M. William Phelps digs in nearly 35 years later and begins to understand that things aren’t always what they seem.

True investigative journalism

I listen to many podcasts, including several true crime. Nobody does a better job of digging into a case and presenting facts as an advocate for the victim. M. William Phelps does outstanding work. Great for anyone serious about the truth and not just sensationalized storytelling.
Sensational

Just started listening to Paper Ghosts. My first podcasts. Finished season 1 and 2. Great job going into the past to put these stories out there. I can’t wait to start the next season.
Binge-Worthy

Love M. William Phelps’ story telling, thorough coverage of the cases, and victim advocacy.
Over exaggerated

Phelps is that guy you see in every cheesy true crime or “worlds scariest killers”-type show. The guy is the Gene Hackman of true crime! My issue with this series, much like a lot of Phelps work, is that he leads his interviewee into sensational statements. The writer in him can’t be satisfied unless he has the most sensationalized version of whatever he’s saying. For example, statements such as “do you think she sold drugs? What type of drugs did she sell?” When no mention of the person ever being suspected of selling drugs. It’s meant to paint a picture of “she’s not just a bad person, she’s a drug dealer who sells heroin to children!” Phelps is just too dramatic to be taken seriously got my taste.
