It’s the dead of summer, 1989, in the heart of the Ozarks. An 18-year-old woman goes missing from Bella Vista, Arkansas. As the search moves forward, several suspects emerge. Then… a body is found not far from the Missouri border, and a homicide investigation begins. Soon, a second body is discovered nearby. What was a mystery transforms into the hunt for a possible serial killer stalking young women throughout the Ozarks. M. William Phelps digs in nearly 35 years later and begins to understand that things aren’t always what they seem.

Main Character Syndrome
Aug 25
After making it partway through episode 4 of season 4, I finally realized that the main character of every single story in this podcast is dogged reporter M. William Phelps. Not the victim(s). In S4, E4, Our Intrepid Investigative Reporter interviews someone he feels is the likely killer, and spends the greater part of the episode in an expository ecstasy: “*I* had to” go hard on this guy, *I* had to…..etc. Sir. You are not the story. Please dial back on your self-aggrandizement. Bullying an elderly convict, whose voice and reactions clearly show confusion and (potentially) dementia, in an interview is not professional behavior. I hold no brief for this serial killer *at all*, but I question the journalistic integrity of any reporter who makes himself the focus of his own reporting. Aggressively questioning an old man is not the flex you seem to think it is. Your coverage of this 35-year old case would have a lot more impact if you would focus less on yourself in it. This world does not need a 21st century Geraldo Rivera. Conduct yourself accordingly.
