Customer Reviews
Excellent and Infuriating
LaVoice has done a wonderful job. Matthew Queen is a disgusting piece of human garbage. The middle aged creep keeps bringing up his “four year old son” to try and illicit sympathy, while simultaneously preying on a teenage girl and her friends. He struck me as a low rent, wannabe cult leader.
Binge worthy
An absolutely non stop listening podcast. I was immediately pulled in to this story. It was so well done, with care and thoughtfulness. I have never even heard of this case nor any of the victims. I have been a true crime fan for years, so it really caught my attention when it was an event I HAVEN’T heard yet. Thank you Olivia for putting this story out for everyone to hear. Please let the mother’s know my heart goes out to them and how courageous they are.
Could have been shorter
Some of the episodes were repetitive. Dragging out episode 8 and how long it takes to get DNA only to over it again in 9 was boring. The episodes about the victims lives years before the crime didn’t hold my attention.
