Loved it
Y’all, this podcast is gold.
No Bad Guys, Just Cops
Methodical fact-finding, gentle story-telling. ... I've never heard so many men gaslight, twist the truth and try to make the widow think she was crazy. If for no other reason, she did the right thing.👍👍
Friendly Fire
Easy to listen to and follow along, thank you!
