In the Shadow of Princeton

Good storytelling, but jeez Louise what a waste of breath and time. Could’ve been a compelling two-parter. A whole lotta “gotchas” followed by a whole lotta “nvm.” Annoying.

At the end, the only question is “why”? There’s no new information and no new discoveries. It’s all awful baseless innuendo against a family without any insight about the true perpetrator. The producers/“journalists” (along with the single minded detective who was purportedly investigating) had a conclusion without evidence when they started and, spoiler alert, came to the same conclusion at the end but,again without a scintilla of evidence! Probably the most reprehensible thing they did was to accost a man in his 50’s outside his home to suggest that he had something to do with the murder of his grandmother 35 years ago. And they’re shocked that he calmly refused to speak to them???are you kidding? They should be charged with stalking or perhaps libel/slander (both offenses since they wrote and spoke these untruths). Save yourself the time and listen to anything else - it’s got to be more worthy.

The entire podcast could be condensed into one or two episodes. Perplexing murder but not many facts to expound on.

I wanted to like this. I listened to the whole thing. I felt it was actually a podcast about making a true crime podcast. The reporters were caricatures of true crime podcasts. Just harassing people about a tragic murder that happened a long time ago.
