This podcast didn’t go where one would expect but it ends up encapsulating so many things about human nature. I don’t think anyone on the team is a mother because if they were they’d understand how painful it would be giving up a child. We see things through our own life experiences & to me it was so obvious; she had a traumatic childhood & she was running from that & the hurt of having to give up her children. She chased her father down & felt abandonment. Then had her babies taken from her, further having things leave her. Who would want to stay in a place with those memories? Who would want to admit those things? So she never returned home to live & made up stories so she wouldn’t be further asked. She also likely felt to be needed. And she found a place is rural Texas that let her escape those memories & made good friends who made her feel special. As for her death. I think when death occurs to someone so young our minds try to come up with stories. Did the guy who said she called, was he a drinker and maybe had a dream while drunk? The CIA thing. Did one person say it & another while high or drunk imagine the same thing? One great thing this podcast proves is our memories are fallible. And sometimes we can’t even trust our own minds. About her death - she had heart problems and flu can hit the heart. Was the heart examined microscopically to determine if there was myocarditis? Still several different explanations left unexplored but all in all a good story about how one person ties so many together.

A colossal waste of time even at 2x speed.

“Fer shure!” Valley girls reveal their ignorance of human nature, and history and culture prior to their birth. So many assumptions and conclusions were stupidly made.

This show seems like it will be interesting but is just far too drawn out. I was surprised at how much credence was given by the host to easily debunked theories. For people who call themselves “true crime junkies” and researchers, they don’t seem to have a basic understanding of how law enforcement processes work. The broader societal story about how this woman’s death has been mythologized in a small town, and that would have made it an actually compelling story, was complete missed.
