Lacking

I learned more reading a couple newspaper articles then I did listening to the entire podcast. Also it hasn't included any case updates.

Good enough, but not enough info

I wish there was more, but I know it's not possible.

Intense

This is so good. The interviews were very respectful and really brought you into the setting of the sixties. It was painful hearing of all the suffering due to one evil person. Poor Elsie. Her best friend recounting writing a letter was heart breaking. I wish the killer could be prosecuted. I wonder if the man in the boat was fully investigated. Peace to the survivors and RIP Elsie. Very well done podcast- the story needs to be told.
