Victoria Zielinski

This was very good. You kept it very interesting with the short time that you have to speak about it. There were a few geographical factual errors at the beginning but that did not take away from the story. I came across the story a few years ago quite by accident and I’ve been a intrigued since. The implications, the impact, the sadness of this event cannot be overstated. I have tried to get our mayor to have a park bench or a similar named for Victoria so she is not forgotten (and I have not given up yet). I can talk about this case for hours. Regarding Smith‘s discharge, I believe it was a medical discharge,which is under honorable conditions. By the way, Linda Zimmerman, if I didn’t read your name as the host/speaker, I would swear it was Judge Jeanine Pirro, it is the same voice. Very good job. Glad this man has finally met his maker, but it’s not fair he got to live a long life after the suffering he caused so many people.

My favorite true crime podcast

I grew up in the Hudson Valley and now live in the Midwest. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this podcast, but I am so glad I did! The stories are unique & hold me captive. I usually listen on my commute to and from work and find myself taking the long way home just so I can finish the episodes! I am almost caught up on the entire series which makes me a little bit sad. Please keep them coming! Also, I love Linda and Brian - they feel like friends. Love you guys!
