I loved this podcast. I think Brent deserves forgiveness. He made mistakes but he paid for those mistakes and has not made any more since. I think he and his family deserve peace. I will pray they receive peace. I will also pray for the families hurt by all this! I don’t believe Brent is a monster in any manner of the word. I think you did a great job humanizing Brent. EXCELLENT reporting! Best podcast I have listened to so far. Thank you for sharing this story. May God grant everyone involved love and peace.

Very fascinating story. Very well done. Highly recommend!

Unique storytelling. And unusual circumstances! Enjoyed podcasting technique, very respectful and unbiased. I still want to respect the deceased and the families. Having a loss through death is difficult enough. The trauma added by this bizzare turn of events would be very unsettling! Especially for those whose bodies were never found! I would constantly feel that loss of not knowing where the missing body went of my loved when. It’s difficult to absolve Brent , without an explanation after all this time. Not sure how he can be a pastor and not to have the capacity to answer for his lies and behavior.

Such a well done telling of this story. My perspective changed drastically from episode to episode. Well done!

Great podcast. It’s wonderfully narrated and put together. I have a lot of empathy for everyone involved in these events.

Man this is breathtaking, I love this story and the way of illustration makes you feel like your there. I love this. This is a must listen if you haven’t yet.

I love true crime but often get tired of the “same old, same old.” So this was a really nice change of pace. Many in my circle didn’t remember this story but I think post 9/11 it was easily lost! This deep dive was fantastic. Reporting was fair to both sides, thoughtful and well rounded. The folks interviewed were really great. Some reviewers bash the journalist for his “white-guilt”, not a fair depiction to me, but I think his interest in racial angle was a preoccupation at times. The family’s historic background in the area added to the richness of the story, and examining if racism was a factor was important. But once it was well established just how beloved & respected this family was, any sentiments about race rang hollow.

Very interesting until the last few episodes when it focused on race. It’s inserted ridiculously and had zero to do with the choices the family made. You miss the fact that they were successful in a predominantly white area because the locals aren’t racist. Enough. Stick to the facts.

I have listened to this podcast numerous times & every time I am blown away! Very well documented podcast & worth the listen!

The sheer number of ads is just insane
