Well done, ladies.

I loved the story and loved hearing the story coming from Crystal herself. Very unfortunate story and hoping to hear positive updates in the future.

Upset Exmo ,

What about the guy???

TOO MUCH sympathy for the killer; not nearly enough respect for the biggest victim in this tragedy!

Poor audio quality and too many ads. Needs editing and better writers.
